80 Days Left...

 

Page 286 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I know, it is fairly late in the day for me to be writing a blurb; but I wasn't even sure I was going to write one at all... I am drained beyond drained and I am not exactly sure why. 

Am I the only one who has been mentally, emotionally and physically drained the past little while??? Or is it just me???

There are 80 days left to this year, and we are on the last long weekend, until (GULP), Yuletide season... How does this happen? Where does the time go??? 

I do have to mention, to those who do not know, today is INTERNATIONAL ASTRONOMY DAY; which is a little ironic considering all the celestial events we are experiencing right now. (We DO celebrate this day twice a year, in the fall and the spring)... 

It is a day I use to reflect and sit in awe of all the incredible things the universe shows us... truly humbling me. It started in 1973, when telescopes were set up for the general population to catch a true glimpse of the "heavens". If you have never taken the time to check the stars out, or figure out the constellations; I strongly encourage it... it's absolutely stunning!!! Study up on the sun clocks, your birthday moons, have navigation had originated by following the stars.

People still scoff at those of us who speak of all the stars and everything celestial and how it affects mankind, and nature in general; but you really don't know. The human body, is what... 60 to 70% water??? The moon can shift entire oceans, yet you say it has no affect on humans??? I think you should really look up why we have the term "lunatic" (example). Maybe go visit an ER on the nights of a full moon!!!

Today is also known as UNIVERSAL MUSIC DAY. I think this one is self explanatory, but I will quote Billy Joel, nonetheless, as he said it perfectly...

"I THINK MUSIC IN ITSELF IS HEALING. IT'S EXPLOSIVE EXPRESSION OF HUMANITY. IT'S SOMETHING WE ARE ALL TOUCHED BY. NO MATTER WHAT CULTURE WE'RE FROM, EVERYONE LOVES MUSIC!!!"

I couldn't have said it better... music, like food... are universal languages that break barriers like nothing else.

Anyways, I didn't come here to lecture anybody. I just happened to see what today represents and wanted to share with people. I hope you all have an amazing Saturday. I hope you all get out to enjoy these last days of, somewhat, decent weather... get out and see the changing of the seasons; go see the leaves' colours and just as they do; remember that every year, those leaves may "die" but in the spring they are "reborn". This is the cycle of life. A sense of renewed hope...

Stay safe. Stay warm/cool. Be well. Be blessed. Most of all... Be Loved.

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
