A little dreaming is good for you
SPBragg at Aging Fabulous tells us this morning that a little dreaming will do you good—
“Sometimes we take life way too seriously and we forget that taking care of body and mind is just as important as our job. I know that I did a lot of daydreaming when I was younger and then the kids/ career came along and there was little time left for me. Actually, if I had been smarter, I would have made time back then!”
I’m looking out of my kitchen window this morning at the snow-covered Pecos Mountains and daydreaming about the Spring thaw and heading up the trail into the Rocky Mountain foothills on our horses .
I’m longing for the deep blue mountain lakes and the lush green meadows that literally carpet the earth at 8,000+ feet. We can trailer our horses up there in an hour from our small ranch, and all of a sudden we’re transported from the high desert to Alpine meadows, rushing streams, majestic pines and quivering aspen trees.
I’ve got a fire roaring in the wood burninig stove this morning, cup of hot coffee in hand, Blue Heeler dog sitting at my feet, but part of me is up there in those mountains .
SPBragg is right on target! A little dreaming does us good.
The ancient Celts believed that horses could carry the rider between worlds, from one to the other. Between the world of day-to-day living and the world of dreams. Our horses are effective at transporting us from the mundane to the extraordinary, if we allow it to happen. Take time for some dreaming today. Hope you have a lovely Saturday.
