I had a most wonderful dream early this day … Dreamed it was mid-May, not mid-February … and it was White Lake Water Festival time … I overslept and when I was awake, it was a perfect morning weather-wise … Neighbors and folks I had never seen before were casually strolling through the neighborhood, just enjoying a beautiful sunrise … I had overslept, no problem, in no hurry to do anything … What a wonderful world … At that moment, I thought I had never seen a more perfect world … Then, I realized it was a dream … and the walls began to close-in … Ever had such a dream? … never wanted it to end … We wake every day to a wonderful world, and then we begin to turn it upside down … Not just us, but our friends and neighbors, our political friends, our leaders … We have an opportunity to make every day a better day … but??? we begin to cut and slice … Oh well, it was the perfect dream…
