After having a few friends question me, I feel the need to address an issue. Grant and I have remained friends… very good friends. We know each other so well, that just because we don’t work under one label (“married couple”), who is to say we won’t work under another label?
I think that’s what I’m looking for now. I’ve not had much over break, though I have practiced… it’s just felt forced. Everyone goes through these phases, I know, so I’m hoping it passes soon. With the next few days being the last “empty” days I’ll have until school starts.
I can’t believe how today has gone… it’s been really weird. Well, my reactions to things, anyway, have been a bit weird.
There are times in life when I feel lost, and they happen occasionally. However, this is the first time I’ve felt lost since March, when my grandmother died. Maw-Maw always knew what to say at times like this, and she’s not around now to give me words of advice.
Thank you to everyone who’s posted comments here, sent emails, and to those who are reading this afraid to post a comment. Personally, I’m feeling weird… I’m not able to put into words the feelings I’m having.
My grandmother is the strongest person I’ve ever known. Maw-Maw is a very kind woman, yet stern when she needs to be and never ever tells anything but the truth… sometimes so truthful as to embarrass someone sitting at the same restaurant table or cause my sister and me to giggle at her boldness. Such a beautiful woman, someone that I have always looked up to.
I went out today to whole foods to buy some groceries, fully intending to buy vegetables, maybe some cheap frozen shrimp, and some soy flour for this “low carb” recipe I have for sugar cookies. Well, I found myself in the delI section, which means I was sampling all the free cheese I could get my hands on. As I perused through all the tasty goudas and bries and something that resembled the leather of some old cowboy’s belt, I found myself at the desserts drooling over a fruit torte of some type. It had strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, some other fruits I can’t recall, and it was glazed and sitting happily on top of a sugar cookie crust. Just when I thought I would be able to slink back into the sea of shoppers around me, the guy behind the torte asked what my favorite album was.
Hello all! Today is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year. It’s also called Yule, the celebration of the birth of the Son / Sun / God / Pan / whatever…. depends on what you believe. Me personally, I’m not sure what I believe. I like the thought of celebrating the beginning of the lengthening of daylight time… and since I’ve started exploring my curiosity in Wicca and Paganism, I’m not sure if I agree with the division of all of the gods and goddesses…
Recently I’ve had a lot of exposure to Christian intolerance through the news, friends, etc. Due to this, my thoughts about Christianity have been a bit confusing. So, I decided to do a Google search for christianity teaches tolerance. One article in particular caught my eye. Note: sections taken from the article will be indented.
