a two dog walk

Two dogs and three friends have begun taking  early morning walks. Pixie and I joined this   group of women about a month ago. We meet on week days and generally walk about 3 miles. It is really a pleasure to walk with  friends. This morning we met and I was the last to get to the park. Natalie,  Heidi and her dog Tipper were already there and waiting for us. As soon as Pixie exited the car, Tipper began making these sounds of utter joy and welcome. You could hear the excitement in her barking 

turning "six five"

I will be celebrating my six five birthday at the end of this week.  I have decided that I  will call it the  "six five" birthday instead of the sixty fifth birthday. It may sound like semantics to many of  you but there is a great deal of  energy that goes into the phrase "sixty fifth"  birthday. There are  all kinds of questions   that relate to medicare, social security, retirement etc that begin to be talked about. There is also the consensual awareness that you may  begin to have more health problems.
Actually, I feel stronger and healthier than I have felt for a very long time. Personally, I would like to put that kind of positive and hopeful energy out into the ethers .  I feel like I still have a great deal of important healing work to do and certainly want to enjoy my family and friends for many more years.  So I will celebrate my six five birthday with great joy and celebration. Warms wishes and love  to all of  you,  the dear  readers that follow my blog.

Je vous reviens

I dream in French. Often, I hear a word or a phrase and then it is  repeated over and over through out the night. I have been doing this for years. As soon as I awaken, I usually write the phrase in an email to my dear friend Mary and she interprets the french for me. For you see, that although I dream in french, I do not speak the language. In fact, I took High School French and did rather  poorly.
The first word that I  remember hearing  was Abattoir which I believe means a slaughter house. I do not remember the context for that particular word dream but often they have very specific meanings for me.  "Je vous reviens"  came after a wonderful day where I felt profoundly in touch with my spiritual nature.  To me, the words mean I have returned to my connection to all that is, the universe, God or whatever term is useful to describe our greater consciousness.  I truly believe that dreams are the gateway to happiness and self understanding. I love the variety of dreams that I have, especially the word dreams.
Do you have word dreams? Write and let me know as  I would love to hear about them.
