Dream Book

I always keep a dream book, in which I write down my hopes, goals, dreams. Honestly, most of my dreams have all come true. I once wanted to serve a specific kind of church, and was appointed to one just like the description in my dream book. I had a long list of desires in the house we would someday buy, and I now live in a house with every feature. Taking my children to Disney was on the list, and I did that the month after I retired.

There are not very many things on my dream list any more simply because most of them have been checked off. There is one thing, however, that has not come my way, nor even close. Gerry and I have been playing tennis together for years. He taught me. We have from time to time played mixed doubles. He plays doubles with several men's groups, and I am always jealous. But I have never ever played with a women's doubles group.

In church on Sunday, I mentioned to someone that I play tennis, though I do not remember who it was. She said that she knew a group of four women who play. I told her I would love to be on their substitute list. I do not know the names of the women who play, nor the name of the woman who told me about them. There are so many people, and so many names I do not know. All I can do is hope that one day, that dream will also be fulfilled, and I'll get connected with a women's tennis doubles group.

If the rest of my life/dreams/hopes is any indication, then that will also one day come my way. Or at least, I certainly hope so!

I'll wait patiently for that day.
