Dream world

Yesterday was such a special day. An impromptu barbecue surrounded by close friends and family.
prepared and cooked by the Kiwi himself. If there is one thing that he is extremely good at and that's cooking food.
Cocooned in love I counted my blessings once again for such beautiful friends and family.
After the previous evening's challenges of meeting friends and neighbours in the village, I decided against submitting myself to more trauma that day by going to the Mayfest in our Cathedral City. It is not so much that the spirit is willing, but more the body is not yet ready.
I am unable to focus on more than one task at a time and every ounce of energy is used up during the task in hand. Even enjoying the simple pleasures of eating and chatting simultaneously is too much of an ordeal at the moment.
I try to keep to a routine, but this morning I slept in. Today is rest day from people.
I feel like I am in a continuous dreamlike world. detached from the real one. I fear I am missing out and yet, my creativity is bounding through like an endless river. I wish I had more energy to keep up with it.
Sleeping they say is good for healing though. Yesterday my Mum gave me a special gift, my Grandad's hanky with his initials in the corner. Last night, I placed it carefully on my bedside table and then on top, put my Granny's Seashell that I brought in from the garden earlier that day. It was only then did it dawn on me that this was the Seashell that was in my dream.
A closer connection to my grandparents.
My Grandad especially, held and loved me through my early years of life, he believed in me. He could see the strength that I had even as a little baby. I will draw upon his wisdom and his faith if mine ever waivers. His Hanky will be the reminder and combined with the energy of my Granny's Scottish stoic attitude, Heaven forbid if anyone gets in my way!
Lesson number seven. Always drink plenty of water. As I approached my bed, I was struck by crippling cramp in my feet. In all the business of the day, I had forgotten to drink enough water. It wasn't so bad that a pint of water couldn't rectify and soon after, I nodded soundly to sleep.
