Busy Hectic Days

As you all know I am going to Cardiac rehab, five days a week, for seven weeks.
We know I just love this. NOT
I am exhausted.
So my dear friend, Gwena was preparing for a yard sale, I volunteered to help her and Memaw out, Memaw is 87 years old and G did need help with the sale.

I love a new chore. (After all I just sanded and refinished a dining table, and 46 year old console stereo.) Next chore is refinishing a dresser we picked up for Ken and Kris. Those boys need clothing space. (only way to stay organized).

So on Thursday we began emptying boxed and pulling furniture around. (Bruce, Her son in law,
was there most of the day to help also."
I let for home around 330 PM. (after spending an hour at 7 o'clock in rehab.)
I began the day exactly the same on Friday. UP by five and out the door by 630.
By the time I arrived G had the sale well under way and I was not needed. I stayed and visited with the ladies then planned to come home and clean my own house.
I sat down a while, and the day flew by, I accomplished nothing.
Finally I picked up David at 230, came home showered and left for dinner at Clay and Marie's house.
Get the picture? I never stopped ALL day.
We laughed and visited there until about 10 PM then home to begin my cleaning I had planned that day.
I mopped floors, folded laundry, David cleaned the kitchen and helped me move the refinished dining table in. I tidied up the living area as well as dusted all the furniture.
At 11 I sent David to bed , Suddenly I felt pretty bad, (my sugar was dropping).
So I drank a glass of OJ and half a muffin. I felt better.
I guess I dozed off, Actually I did doze off and I was awaken by,
You probably wont believe it, but it was Dave.
He passed away in February. How could he be sitting in my office.?
I looked across the desk and he said, "Sue you should go to bed, You do too much".
Funny thing I remember smiling at him and saying "I know, I will pretty soon,"
My eyes were open. No dream here.
He was sitting on the edge of the chair, slightly looking over his glasses, with a tone on tone plaid shirt on, very light colored. He looked as he did when he was feeling good.

I then dozed off again, and awoke again with him telling me, "Sue you really need to go to bed."
That time I listened and said, "OK OK I am going now."
Funny I can recall the smile I gave him, like an old friend I had not seen in a long time.
I had 0, None, Nil, not one iota of fear. It was a sweet visit.

He had several people with him but he was the only one I vividly recall. How I wish I could recall or know the others with him.

Again I remember smiling at him and almost giggling as I did when he was alive and told me the same thing.
Dave often told me I probably did too much. For example, one day he saw me cross the field with E or G on my back. He immediately told me "Sue you should not do that."
It did not bother me to give my grandson a piggy back ride.

I am not sure why I dreamed about him telling me that,. Perhaps because I had worked with Gwena (his wife) to set up her sale.
Perhaps we do have spirits that can come to us and guide us.
