Sorry for the absence. Had a house full the last few days. The ice storm caused power outages except here. Lost my computer for school and work. House and computer are all mine now. LOL!! Monday votes are in. Have a wonderful night!!
At some point, I need to find the black hole hiding in my perfectly ordered house. No matter how neat my house is, tidy, clean, organized, and everything in its place, things dsisappear in this house, never to been seen again. The recent casualties include the ribbon, name tags, and Christmas cards I bought to wrap Christmas presents. The theory is, these would have been in the same box as the rest of the ribbon and wrapping paper, in the box on the second shelf in my hall closet, labeled "Gift Wrapping." I still have not found these. Next, was my notebook with the contact information for my martial arts students. Theoretically, in the drawer the rest of my contacts. Gone. And, most recently, a box labeled jewelry, helpfully disposing of the bezels I bought for the pendulums I was making. The possibilities: One: my cats ate these things. Two: there's a magical vortex in my house, sucking things into the void, never to be seen again. Okay. Score one more for "unsolved mysteries!" Have a good one! Voted!
Monday is a great day if you don't have to go to work! Remember: Whatever you are trying to avoid won`t go away until you confront it !!! Your vote is in.
In this world of ours / what is there of constancy? Yesterday's deep pool in the River of Tomorrow, today becomes a rapid. ~ Kokinushu. Even a psychic can't truly predict what lies ahead. Take one day at a time, embrace the unexpected, the surprises, and the adventures, and you never know where the path may lead you. Have a great day. Voted!
Most of you guys have heard me talk about my three cats. My Himalayan is the biggest character. Among her...unique skills is randomly banging into walls. She runs into walls, and falls down the stairs. My first thought was to take her to the vet. After a series of tests, the vet found nothing wrong with her eyesight, inner ear, and no signs of a brain defect. Baffled, the vet sent us home. Later in my relationship with Persephone, I met my mentor in psychic arts. Among her talents is pet whispering. I asked her during one visit if she could tell what was wrong with Persephone. My mentor looked thoughtfully at the cat, and finally said, "She's telling me...she doesn't know how to stop." To this day, I don't know if that was serious, or a joke. But, it remains the best diagnosis I've gotten! Have a great day! Votes are in!
Scatter at random / O blossoms of the cherry / And cloud the heavens, that you may conceal the path old age is said to follow. ~ Ariwara no Narihira. I'm currently reading an anthology of translated Japanese poetry, and thought I'd share a couple I particularly liked. This one reminds me that we're all here to enjoy life. To never forget the lifetimes ahead, but to live each day one at a time, as a unique celebration that will never be exactly repeated. Just something to think about on this uniquely beautiful day. I hope yours is beautiful as well. Votes are in.
Well it is Thursday so remember: No matter where you are in life right now, no matter who you are, no matter how old you are – it is never too late to be who you are meant to be. Your vote is in!
