My Christmas Letter
I got kyburg's card and Christmas letter in the mail and thought; since I'm having trouble updating on LJ because I've not done much of that at all this year, why not do a Christmas letter to you all here in this space.
And so I shall.

Thank you
You know sometimes I drift off, but I never forget where home is. Hello, my friends. So many of you have been there for me over some very tough times and I've not forgotten about you. You all are very dear to me. Thank you for being there. {{hugs ( Read more... ) -
Celebrating the good stuff
It's been a rough couple of weeks here in many ways, even more amplified by a nice dose of seasonal depression seeping. I refrained from sharing and I preferred not to dwell on the negative as much as possible and focus on the high points ( Read more... ) -
Birthday countdown - 11 Days
One of the vestiges of my childhood that has yet to die, the birthday countdown. My birthdays, as a child, were the stuff of Toys 'R Us Circulars. I think I can only remember two or three actual birthday parties, I just didn't have the proper temperament to make it possible without a meltdown over something, but the adults in my life always ( Read more... ) -

It's all how you frame it...
And by "it" I mean your mind. And when you do, it's amazing what can be accomplished. Today is a prime example.
Yesterday I went grocery shopping with jarlina. I actually had a list made and followed it. and then we headed to her house for gaming. We played the new One Ring game. I got home from the festivities at 12:30 AM, and stayed up to put ( Read more... ) -
Three little words with very big meaning.
Christ with me.
This is the first line of the first triad of simple little song, or chant some may say, we sing at Unity of Indianapolis. The second triad changes to you, and the third to us. And this is what I was earwormed with this morning after my morning prayer and meditation and I knew that my topic was chosen.
At Unity we believe in five ( Read more... ) -
And the beat goes on...
Today was a bit of a better day. I got up, prayed, meditated. Then after getting dressed I started moving my feet by feeding the cats, taking my meds, making coffee, and unloading and reloading the dishwasher while the coffee brewed. That was a lot more productive start than just heading for the computer right away ( Read more... ) -
Not meant to be?
Evidently I was not meant to do therealljidol after all. Even though the topic was something that sang to me immediately, the words just didn't come at first. Or, rather, what did come out read like a 6th grade homework assignment. (Am I really that rusty?) It was definitely not the level at which I'm used to writing, and not the inspirational piece I had ( Read more... )
