While traveling the other day for work I noticed a sign that had the above quote on it. Initially, I laughed, but then realized how that for many people this is their life.
No matter what advantage or respite sleep provided the waking from sleep brings the realization that whatever dreams are just that, dreams. There is no reality to the
Ice except for the stress that waits them.
What is it that stresses you? What wonderful dreams have been smashed by the alarm? Have you ever dreamed about a life bereft of stress and yes I know that stress is also brought on by positive things? I have. I spend time thinking about what life would be like without the things that so easily become my stressors.
The scriptures in the book of Matthew tell us not to worry, because the One who created us knows all and cares for us more than anything else in this world. But, (yes that's two buts in one post) I am stressed about things like my family, friends, future and so more than that. So when I saw that sign I laughed and sighed.
That's life isn't it? A combo of joy and sadness.
So, the next sign I see may bring more thoughts and as always some reflection.
There's always time for self reflection, what are you worrying, smiling, laughing or just thinking about?
