It has been a while since I posted here. I had so many dreams. They were just so-so dreams not worth posting. Bits and pieces type of dreams that were not so clear.
Our little grandson is with his other grandparents, so we have free time for ourselves which is sort of nice. We miss the little one but we know he is enjoying his vacation. His other grandparents have a swimming pool and he loves the water. I know that he is enjoying "swimming" everyday.
Back to dreams, I had a very clear one last night. My dream started in a sort of a classroom. In the classroom, it has tables instead of desks. I was scheduled to speak and then sing in the class. I came sort of unprepared. I was wearing a long, yellow dress and flat shoes. But I started to think that I should wear high heels. Far from home, I asked one of my friends in the class if I can borrow a pair of shoes from her. I knew that she has a bigger size of shoes, but what the heck, I might as well try them and see if they will look alright. My friend handed me a pair of nice looking black high heels. When I tried them on, my dress was not long enough to hide my awkward looking feet with these big high heel shoes. So that was out of the plan. I just decided to wear my flat shoes after all. I started to prepare for my forthcoming speech and when I was trying to recall the song I was going to sing, I could not remember some of the lyrics. There were two songs in my head that I could choose to sing. But both of the song lyrics I could not remember for the life of me. I blamed myself for coming not fully equipped. I was thinking that those ditties are very familiar, no one will ever forget the lyrics of those songs, not even myself. Was I wrong!
Half way through the class, I approached one of the ladies in the class and asked her if she knew the songs. She told me that we could check the lyrics on the internet. One of the songs, which I forgot now what it was, she was able to retrieve and gave me a copy. But I could barely read the words. So I've decided to just sing the other song I picked. I keep on humming the song in my mind until the class started. My friend introduced herself and told the class she is scheduled to speak also in front of the class. I stood up and I introduced myself. By the time I was about to start singing, I woke up, humming the song I was supposed to sing.
This is the other song I decided to sing in my dream:

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
