"Hi Sir. Happy new year!

"Wondering about my dream the other night. "In my dream, I returned to teaching in the former school I was employed 10 years ago. It's the first day and I am looking for the room of my first class. The day is gloomy and it was raining hard. I am walking down the staircase to the ground floor and discover that rain is pouring down from the ceiling in the middle of the corridor. I decide to pass the other way so I climb the steps and walk through the second floor corrdor. I come across some students, surprised that they were my students I taught in my first year of teaching there. I am quite amused that they have not graduated and have not aged at all. Looking down at my clothes and built, I look similar to how I was 10 years ago. "Thanks Sir and enjoy your week. God bless!

Hello ____________!

Your dream reflects your current yearning for happier days in the past. The rain--pouring outdoors and indoors--represents your grief.

Remember that not even magic can turn back time. Assess why you were happier ten years ago. Were your parents proud of what you were doing? Were you passionately in love with someone? Was your work more meaningful? Were you better off financially?

As in a Monopoly board game, we need to keep throwing the die to move forward. Greater joys await you in the future. Go there and be there. Look to the horizon rather than to the fading night behind you.
