377 days, Blog #108, Three things I learned today

Ah, Friday.  I am so glad to see you.  I suspect we shall conclude things with some couch time and general relaxing before starting a busy Saturday.

It has been a good week.  A week full of lessons.  Here are three from today.

1. Snow is very pretty in November.  Prettier when it doesn’t stick to the driveway and only coats the trees and grass.

2. An Alice in Wonderland quote on my office wall makes a surprising impression.

3. Maybe it was the glass of wine I had before sleep.  Maybe it was the comfortable warmth in between flannel sheets as the snow fell outside.  My heart clearly speaks to my mind through dreams in allegory form.  I had a dream about forgiveness and a tearful reunion with a friend with whom a bridge is still damaged.  I’m okay with that… because clearly the universe doesn’t see fit to cross our paths right now or maybe ever again.  But I know that dream wasn’t about that friendship.  It was about the fact that I have forgiven theater.  Or more to the point, I’ve forgiven myself for feeling hurt by something I love so much.  Last night I agreed to be a stage manager and lined up a schedule that hasn’t been so involved with the stage since 2008.  I posted something about it on Facebook last night and came back this morning to see likes from theater friends from so many different times and locations of my life.  I am blessed to live amongst so many artistic and creative people.  It made me glad.
