In this Journal, I will attempt to strip away my protective veneer to view and communicate honestly what the truth is as I perceive it. My intent is to grow, for without an honest evaluation of the truth, how else can one fully absorb life's more difficult lessons and benefit by them. If I do this in secret, then I am still hiding behind a protective veneer, so it is being published online. If you find this Journal, you are welcome to read it and hopefully grow from it as well.

"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," A Dream From 6/10/12

In this dream, I was in New York meeting with Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," whose political satire and comedy Anne and I and some other members of our family so enjoy. He and I were meeting in his office and he was cordial, inquisitive and relaxed, yet intense about his show.

Afterwards, as I was leaving, I walked down the hall in this office building and came across a new tenant. She and her little company taught dance and other playful activities to children and to young adults in a very colorful and cheery atmosphere.

For some reason, I had taken off my shoes and couldn't find them, so I retraced my steps back to Jon Stewart's office and then looked all around as I came back to her office. My shoes were black dress shoes, but when I asked her about them, with a big grin, she took them out of a closet and handed them to me.

The were polished a shiny black, but on the front top portion, she had added a bright taxicab yellow section, which at first shocked me. But as she laughed and I put the shoes on I too began to laugh. As I left, the day outside was dark and rainy, but in my heart, her laughter and those shoes lifted my spirits.

Perhaps that dream was trying to tell me I need more fun and laughter in my life and I agree and will more actively seek it.
