A Sense of Wonder
Dreamings
I would like to express to you what happened to me at 5:34 a.m. Saturday morning. You know how you get in a state of what is called rem sleep. You are in between the dreaming world and the real world. Apparently, I was in the state when I awoke with the most unusual sensation. Ladies please don't laugh at me. You may find that some men may have a very small glimpse into some of the feelings you experience. Men you are not allowed to laugh at me.
I awoke to the knowledge that my website was my baby. I had such a sense of AWE and felt at peace. This is my baby how special is that. I know that I need to feed my baby all of the right things for it to grow. This means I have to take into myself only those things my baby needs. I need to nurture it, protect it, give it everything it needs to grow and become a giant of websites.
I need to plan as far down the road as I can for its education, growth and its maturity among thousands of others. I want it to stand out since it is my baby. I will have to give it love and attention even when other things are trying to distract me from my baby and its needs. I need to defend it when someone tries to intrude, steal or injure my baby in any way. NO ONE is going to hurt MY BABY.
Learning to Fly
As my baby learns to fly, I will have many rounds of anxiety. I will want to constantly check on it ti be sure it is doing as I expect. I will have to learn to trust that the training was applied correctlly and in the right way. I will have to learn that when it has a small incident that I don't need to tear it apart in order to find what the problem is. All I have to do is be patient and look at what is working and what is not but not to tear down and reconstruct.
As a man, I want to protect sometimes to the point of being unreasonable about what is wrong with my baby. I will try to put as many safeguards in place that my baby is not able to fly on its own. I will setup every road block ever devised to prevent anything from harming my baby.
Teenager
My baby has grown and maturied to the point that I don't have to be there every moment. But in saying that have I truly come to accept that my baby doesn't need me as much. I will still be there but in the background as I should be. I will always put my baby first. My baby still needs love and nurturing but I have to learn to relax my grip so my baby can start to become what I have envisioned for it.
Worlds to Conquer
My baby is still growing and learning and I am still going to be protective of it. I still have to nurture it and help it live by giving it good content. I still need to be sure that nothing happens to it. I still need to give it love so that those who visit may feel the love I have for my baby. I want my baby to conquer all obstacles that come.
If I have offended any one with this post that was not my intent. My intent was to express how deeply I felt my baby come alive almost like when a woman first knows that she is pregnant. Being a man I can only guess at the wonder and awe a woman feels when she first learns she is pregnat. It is such a deep feeling of peace, joy, fright, and an overwhelming sense of peace. Guys in this department you will just have to accept that a woman's feelings are much deeper.

Hi Jerry, I am not laughing at all. All the best to growing and nurturing your "baby".

You did a great job, Jerry. I know it is an amazing feeling when you awake with these thoughts. I firmly believe that you were given some support and guidance from your spirit guide or what some would say your guardian angel. Trust it, Jerry.

Hi Jerry
AWESOME post!
Once you have this feeling / realization about your website - you are going to soar! It has now become YOU. I'm excited for you!
Wishing you much success, Jerry - you deserve it! ;-)

This is such an awesome analogy! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Great job.
Have a great week.

Jerry, how beautifully written!
You touched on the whole range of emotions a Mother feels.
And now that I’m well beyond that phase of life I agree with the analogy wholeheartedly.
Thanks for a meaningful piece of writing.

Thank you Jerry. I am great full to you for sharing your deepest feelings about the product that we are all trying to attain. In this case for me the journey has become very spiritual and intimate. The website itself is still a block of stone I have just begun to carve. It is a devilish thing at times but as I continue I believe it will become my baby and I will love it like a child.Thank you so much for shining that light.
If to you is a baby, to me it's a seed growing to a tree.
We really need a special care to our sites because this is our business and we didn't create it for nothing, it's for something that we want to see grow and if possible bear fruit or get pregnant.
Ahwww-www! ... beautifully expressed & written! ... you're a wonderful pappa! ... with much appreciation, thanks for sharing your wonderment with us & for posting, all the very best, cheerio... :)

I (Colette) can really relate to this weird dream thing, Jerry.
I have had bizarre, vivid, often night terror type dreams since as long as I can remember, but yours is very interesting. Weird but so interesting.
The subconscious can come up with all kinds of strange things when we dream...but yours is really cool because it is almost a kind of premonition.
Take care of that baby and it will grow up and take care of you!
Thanks for posting this. It was refreshingly different.
In the last 3 weeks I have had advertisers coming to me and I had a YouTube Video in my niche asking for my comments. Makes you wonder?????
Jerry
Yes, we recall that...cue the 'twilight zone' music:D
Wishing you all the best, Jerry.
Who knows what could happen this week....?
It will all be good. I have a sense of peace about me now that I have not felt for a loooooooooooooooong time.
