MY DREAMS
SOMETIMES I REMEMBER MY DREAMS AND OTHER TIMES I DON'T. I DREAMED IN COLOR THAT MY HUSBAND AND I WERE REDECORATING A HOUSE WITH ALL KINDS OF NEW DECORATIONS WITH MY YOUNG SON. WE WERE MUCH YOUNGER. WE HAVE LIVED IN MANY HOUSES BEFORE AS ARCHAEOLOGISTS. WE MOVED TO THIS HOUSE WITH OUR FRIENDS WHO WE HAVE KNOWN FOR YEARS. THERE WERE ALL KINDS OF COLORED DECORATIONS THAT WE WERE DISTRIBUTING AROUND THE HOUSE. I WOKE UP AND REALIZED THAT I AM STILL SEPARATED FROM MY FAMILY UNFORTUNATELY. WE WILL BE GETTING BACK TOGETHER SOON.
