When it looked like we’d lose the company

Jeffrey Scott Johnson

I was traveling with my family. Staying at a hotel. Trying to check out. We had to catch a flight to our next destination. The clock was ticking. As I was at the checkout desk, family members were still in their rooms, packing. Moreover, items that had been purchased wouldn’t fit in our luggage. 

It was all very stressful and confusing. Should I call the airline and try to reschedule the flight? Should I give up trying to herd everyone out of the hotel and see if we could stay another day? I didn’t know what to do.

At that point, I woke up. It had all been a dream. I didn’t have to worry about making a flight or figuring out how to resolve other travel problems. The solution all along had been simple: Just wake up.
