Bumpy Clouds

I was bumping along on a cloud, feeling so relaxed. I felt radiant and beautiful throughout. I did not have to think of anything at all. I merely concentrated on becoming one with my surroundings. There was beauty emanating from every direction; as far as my eyes could see.

As I floated along, I began to slowly pass by some familiar scenes and faces. I saw my old childhood homeplace. I envisioned myself as a little girl playing in that very yard with my sisters and brothers. We were quite a rough and tumble bunch. We fought each other as much as we loved and adored each other. The arguing and fighting seemed to have kept us real close.

I also passed by all of the pets we had as children. There was old Snowball, Blackie, Shaggy, and Sputnik's One and Two. Our favorite parakeets were named Peppy, Lolly and Molly, and Penny-Poo, etc. Not to mention Rhoda, our large horse, and Elsa, our pet cow, with her baby calf,
Beauregard. We had a knack for spoiling all of our animals.

Why was I bumping along on a cloud? Poof! Poof! Poof! It was ONLY A DREAM!!
