The first day of the new job went well… except for the fact that the air conditioning wasn’t working at it was 27
This week’s Sidhe Shots theme is air. I took several beautiful pictures of a cloudy sky above nearby Grenadier Pond, but none of them seemed right. But as quanta and I got closer to the beach, I noticed a little girl flying a kite. The perfect picture! I have a bit of a soft spot for kites, because I used to love to fly them when I was younger. To me, they are so free… until they crash into a tree, that is. 😉
I am trying to enjoy my “last week of freedom,” as quanta likes to call it. (Do you think he means something by that?) I’ve finally gotten around to doing some more writing for The Lotus Pond, picked up my Tarot cards again, done some cross stitch, and started reading a good book. Overall I’m feeling very good, very content. My new job starts on Friday, with a short four hour introduction shift. So, we will see how I feel this time on Friday.
The Zero Boss has posted about this joy at actually writing a book. Why the hell can’t I get off my ass and actually start writing mine? I don’t lack for ideas, or research, or the ability to type. I think maybe I am afraid of failing at the one thing I really want to do.
Found by way of Lani.
| I’m a Daffodil. I’m respectable, upstanding and proper. I do everything with class, even when no one is looking. Respect is important to me, and I deserve it because I have never farted in my life. Nor do I masturbate. Also my pinky sticks out when I drink from a glass. What bloom are you? by Polly_Snodgrass |
lol! Sounds like me, doesn’t it? I have to do everything right, just in case someone is looking. 😉
This week has been both difficult and rewarding. I’ve made it a point to go out, both with quanta and by myself, several times. I’ve talked to strangers, and I’ve tried to be less concerned about what people may be thinking about me. All of this may sound like simple things to most of you, but they are big steps for me. Especially when you realize that I’ve actually been happy all week. It is nothing short of amazing.
I’d also like to share that I have a new job, one which is better suited to my temperament and desires. I will be working at a little card and gift shop, which has excellent hours and a wonderful owner. I did say I didn’t want to work in retail again, but I am really looking forward to this job. It is full time, but the hours are nice enough that I will still have plenty of time to write and dream.
Witches Weekly: What is Sacred to you
What is one item that is sacred to you? (Can be anything, tool, amulet, object, etc)
I had to answer this questions a while back for a CFFN lesson. At the time, I said that my grandmother’s engagement ring was sacred to me. It still is, but I now see sacred is a more intangible way. I don’t think that there is one item I can point to said say “This is sacred.”
What holidays or time of year do you consider most sacred to you personally?
Beltane and Samhain are the two Sabbats that are most sacred to me. They both occur at times in the year that I enjoy, and they both honour themes that I find very important.
Describe your sacred space (can be anywhere, indoors, outdoors, etc):
I don’t have a specific sacred space. However, one of my favourite places to be is at the corner of the park nearby, on a bench on the edge of the pond, with tall wild flowers all but surrounding me.
