It was Judi who informed me that those slimy, bug-riddled things growing in the forest were mushrooms, and threw me off Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup for years.
It was Judi who, upon seeing a spider crawling on my forearm with my permission, said she was afraid of spiders, and I decided I should be, too.
It was Judi who said she thought spaghetti noodles with just butter, salt, and pepper were the best, and thereafter, I found she was right and prefer them just that way.
And, it was Judi who, as we walked to the school bus stop one chilly October morning, shared with me the little red jewels called pomegranate seeds that she carried on the salty lid of a Planter’s Cocktail Peanut can. My first taste of a fruit with a surprising pop of tangy juice was so elusive that I wondered afterward if I really had tasted that goodness or had imagined it.
Judi is my friend from my 1950s childhood. She and I lost touch decades ago when life took us in separate directions, and I made efforts to locate her through Facebook, to no avail.
I dreamed about her recently. Another friend “presented” Judi to me in that dream. I saw her as a princess or a figure of royalty, her slender figure clothed in a sparkly silver, pencil-thin gown enhanced with ruffs of white ermine fur at the neck and sleeves.
I thought about Judi almost constantly for a couple of days after that dream and decided it was time once again to try to locate her.
So, you can understand how flummoxed I was two days after the dream when I answered my phone and a lady said, “This is Judi.”
There is nothing better than renewing old friendships. I hope you have a fantastic visit.
ReplyDeleteWe did. More to come.
DeleteWow Gullible. How interesting. How fascinating. I wonder if you recall our Post on dotnet back on AUG 3, 25, titled PSYCHIC AND MORE. Below are some excerpts from the AUG 3rd Post.
DeleteThere are many different definitions of the term ‘Psychic’.
It commonly refers to someone who is very intuitive and uses their extrasensory perception (ESP) or ‘sixth sense’ to acquire information that normal senses cannot pick up.
Being a psychic generally means having abilities to perceive information beyond the normal human senses.
It is often described as extrasensory perception (ESP) or parapsychological abilities. These abilities can include clairvoyance (seeing things beyond normal vision), clairaudience (hearing things beyond normal hearing), and other forms of intuition and perception.
Sounds like what you just wrote about here. Cap and Patti
P.S. Did you share this with Judi? How is she doing? We were very afraid that Judi had passed away.
I have had many such experiences throughout my life. Sometimes I wonder if I'm causing the events.

DeleteYes! Of course you could have caused this one particular event !!

Unbeknownst to you, your thoughts (constantly thinking about Judi) were carried to Judi (how we have no idea) and YOU were "On her mind!" so she called you. Amazing Judi had your phone number.

You have a dream about a friend from the 1950's and two days later she calls after many years .. WOW!! Life keeps surprising us!! Great!! Hugs, Patti and Cap
ReplyDeleteYes. Just one of many such experiences. They reached a point when I was young that these perceptions began to frighten me.
