Map Dreams

They say pregnancy brings strange dreams and boy I've had 'em all! I tend to have recurrent locales - there's the same high school, same university, and 2 different cities I visit. But I've always had that but now there's a recurrent theme. MAPS. And, I think the point is very clear.

Sometimes I'm just driving for work and I need to get to a small town here in Louisiana, so I draw out my route on a map. Then sometimes I need to cross the state line and go into Arkansas or Texas. On those trips I have to use a bigger map and there are a few routes that I have to decide which one is the best. Then I have to go all across the Southern or the Northern part of the country. Again I have to pick my route and I'm always torn between the route with the major roads or the route with the more direct, less traveled route. Then there are the trips around the world - city to city, going through Mexico, going through Italy, and the list goes on. In all of these dreams I think I know best way but I constantly look at the map double-checking myself.

In the last week my dreams have changed just a little bit. I'm still looking at the map, but this time I'm confident in where I'm going. I'm able to make up my mind and I don't think twice about where I'm going and how I'm getting there.
