Eddie and Dreama
You gotta have dreams. Big dreams. Even Eddie says so.
I got Ed at the pound. When he moved in with me I was living in a house 2 blocks from the beach in California--talk about movin’ up! Ed had a dream. He told me he used to lay awake at night at the pound pretending he could hear the tide rolling in and smell all the little shrimps (his eyes always kind of glaze over when he gets to the part about the shrimp…) Even when it continued, day after day, of someone coming to pick a cat and it was never him, he just kept on visualizing his house by the sea.
And little did he know, out there, was me, thinking about wanting a cat, particularly a tuxedo cat, to live with me in my little house.... by the sea.
If you think about it, we don't take real things and make them into dreams. We take dreams and make them into real things.
Dream Big:))

Don't tell Eddie I said so, but he looks so very glam against your beautiful sweater (he has that look like he knows already).hehe.
ReplyDeleteThese thoughts are so true- dream BIG- I've met a lot of my goals and realize I need to 'raise the bar'!! (What a surprise!) Now, to determine what these new goals will be!?) ah, the joy of the journey!
Dreama, when are you going to write and illustrate a book about Eddie? This could be one of your new goals!
ReplyDeleteHi Dreama, I just discovered your blog and shared it with Miss Biscuit and she is so smitten with Eddie! Just as I am with your wonderful art. Lovely all the way around.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your world and your wonderful story about how you and Eddie met. I love cat and sea stories.
Bravo Dreama, great post!
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful, got tears in my eyes! If I didn't have 3 doggy dogs, a rescue kitty would find its way to my house 1 mile from the beach. And those darned dogs don't care about shrimp at all. Oh well, there is always Eddie! And he has a wonderful following! I hope Phyllis visits again soon and often. Those are my most favorites! Beckie
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteEddie was pretty pumped when he read all the comments:) and Roxanne--he did mention that he felt you needed to set your sights higher now that you have seen so many good things come to pass:))! Jerry and Beckie--a book and more Phyllis--two things I need to work on:))Thanks to each of you for taking the time to write. Eddie and I both love you for it!
ReplyDeleteI love this. You are such a special person. And I second the motion for an illustrated book about Eddie. :) Don't tell him I said so, but I'm actually more of a dog person, but there's just something about him that is starting to change my opinion. <3
ReplyDeleteI love your happy colorful paintings. Your kitty looks almost identical to mine, whom I painted recenlty (on my blog if you're interested).
ReplyDeleteGreat post today!

ReplyDeleteEddie hit the jackpot!!
ReplyDeleteI think you did too.
Just always enjoy reading about Eddie and seeing the wonderful paintings that you paint of him. There is such a connection there- Had to come read this post- love your quote-turn dreams into reality...so glad you and Eddie wound up together in the house by the sea. Meant to be. Eddie is a well loved lucky special cat!!
