Gratitude: A Christmas Dream

Photo of a collage my mother made.

Last night I had a vivid dream. I was in my childhood home once again for a Christmas celebration. I walked through the house and touched many things that have long been discarded. I felt love and a deep sense of gratitude for being part of one more Christmas at home. 

In preparation for the gathering. I was cleaning a crystal chandelier. Today, I went hunting for a picture of that chandelier. I found some pictures a realtor took of the house many years after my family moved out. I couldn't tell if the light was the same light that I had cleaned in my dream and as a child. I remember it as being larger, but it's possible that it is the same one. The rest of the light fixtures were all the same, so it may just be the fact that the light was on and the photo didn't show the details. Most of the tile was the same, too, which made my heart sing. 

What was so very different was how empty it felt even though there was furniture in the house, it just did not feel lived in or loved the way it felt when we lived there. It felt sad. 

It made me feel even more gratitude for the dream I had last night. It was a dream filled with love and gratitude. 

I believe that I am healing from the traumas. Magically healing and feeling deep love and gratitude is a wonderful experience. I believe that because of the magic of the dream, I experienced a very deep feeling of gratitude. Gratitude that touched my soul in ways I cannot explain with words. 

Manifest a magical day.
