"Wear your tragedies

as armor, not shackles."

~Anonymous

Wow! Fab advice to be

found almost anywhere!

Methinks the crux of the

matter would be to follow

it. Now there's an idea . . .

Actually, we grow up

thinking . . . make up 

our own minds, make

our own mistakes, 

learn our own lessons.

Still, could one not give 

into good, sound advice

now and then? I'm

thinking! I'm thinking!

Sussing out whether 

I've ever saved myself

some trouble by paying

attention and heeding

to good?!

I'd hate to bet on it . . .

"I'm not against God.

I'm against the misuse

of God."

~Marilyn Manson

I so appreciate this

sentiment! God, the

concept of this higher

being, is something

each of us take on faith.

God, the existence of

God, is something we

each figure out for our-

selves. We envision him,

or her, in our own way.

I know God is very real.

But, is s/he a person, a

spirit, an idea, a savior?

On the other hand, I've

come to the conclusion

that it doesn't matter. I

don't have to decide.

Faith is the answer, not

necessarily understanding.

Bottom line, isn't this

exactly what faith is all

about?!

I still love Fri nights

best of all. Means 

the entire weekend 

is available.

Sats are lovely; the

whole day for joy 

and celebration.

Suns are good too. 

One begins prepping 

for a return to the

real world.

Now what's amazing

is I've been retired

for over a decade and

I'm still in the week-

end slash work week 

mode.

Perhaps, it's a bit 'cuz

our working buds are

not available during 

the week.

Ahhhhh, should every-

thing in life be this 

simple?

Methinks I must be

'bout half nuts . . .

My guy made me go

down and look at the

full Aires moon at

4:44 this morning.

I was wowed beyond

belief . . . 'twas ever

so full, a dark yellow.

a ring 'round the out-

side and surrounded

by tiny black clouds.

As it was exactly 4:44,

I was reminded of a

good pal of ours; a true

friend, funny, humorous.

I almost rang him up so

he could go see the moon

but I value our friendship

too much! Ha!

Methinks my dear Lunar

Lady, fab woman, would

not have liked it either.

Sooooo love being retired!

Think I'd like some ice

cream right now!

"Normality is a paved

road; it's comfortable

to walk, but no flowers

grow." ~Van Gogh

I've ever and always

termed normality as

cookie cutter. And to

my chagrin, have ever

found it boring.

Methinks I should be

more accepting of all.

People are on their own

path and growing as

they can.

But, oh how I love the

different, the unusual,

the eccentric. 

Perhaps 'tis because

that's who I am and I

want to appreciate my

own self.

Bottom line, I bow to

the different . . .

"Flawed and fabulous

because perfect doesn't

exist and normal is boring." 

~Anonymous

'Tis the mantra I should

be living by; make no

mistake.

It has been said Libras

constantly seek balance. 

I'm simply one of those

who never evened out.

I make my best efforts

and then all of a sudden

I've f---ed up again. I

find self-forgiveness

incredibly difficult.

As I'm going to be 177

in about three weeks,

perhaps I'll grow up and

get a clue . . .

Damn it!

I had a wondrous

Mabon. Not one I

will likely forget

any time soon.

So today will be a

day of rest & recoup.

So hard to believe

Fall is here.

I'm going to trry and

behave, enjoy it all

even though I love

summer best of all.

Happy, happy, happy

Autumn . . .

09/22/2026 - Mabon

First day of Fall!

Autumn Equinox!!

Mabon!!!

Bottom line, a lovely

day of celebrations

all over Kingdom 

Come, as it were.

One of the delights

of today .  . . equal

in night and day.

It is also the Second

Harvest. At this time

we pay attention to

Mother Earth's bounty

and give thanks.

The name Mabon come

to us from the Welsh. 

I've always loved this

as my Welsh husband

gifted me two beautiful

children.

Do enjoy today however

you may. Celebrate!

Blessed be . . .

09/21/2026 - Mabon Eve

Today is Mabon Eve.

Or perhaps you call it

the first eve of Autumn.

Got to thinking when

it was that I fell in love

with eves. 'Twas my 

parents . . .

They always celebrated

the eves of all holidays.

Mom used to say eves

were intimate gatherings

for the fam; the actual

days for eating. I like it!

The quiet evenings, 

the gentle celebrations, 

the expectations for the 

morrow. All precious.

Alas, Fall isn't my favest

time of year, but 'tis ever

so wondrous to be alive!

Happy Mabon Eve!

"May the wind under

your wings bear you 

where the sun sails 

and the moon walks." 

~Tolkien

Sooooo loved today!

It began with my guy

inviting me to three

fab concerts . . .

   -Willy Nelson's 90th

   -The Carpenters

   -Celtic Women

Such beauty! Such joy!!

I found myself weeping

as the Celtic Women

said their goodbyes.

The day ended with our

friends stopping by for

a brewski. 

Glorious! Glorious! Day!

"Life is a shipwreck,

but we must not forget

to sing in the lifeboats."

~Voltaire

Seems my entire life 

I've been seeking 

perfection.

Not sure if it was due

to my sign Libra. And,

here's moi, the most

unbalanced Libra I've

ever met.

Perhaps 'twas my mother

as she was so religious. 

Still, one of the gifts of 

aging is finally accepting 

the inevitable. 

   -It is what it is! 

   -I am who I am!!

   -Let it be!!!

And yes, I'm singing in

my own lifeboat!

"Let me keep company

always with those who

say, "Look!" and laugh

in astonishment . . ."

~Mary Oliver

Being gifted with age,

I find myself wowed

beyond the pale at 

how many different 

kinds of people exist.

There are those so

filled with joy they

simply cannot hold

it in.

A few so dour, can't

imagine how they 

face each day.

Some solemn, others

sad. Obviously, there

are people in every

category known to 

mankind.

I've concluded what

I want for myself, is 

the choice.

All moods have their

place, per se. But god

awful to spend all of

life in the dumps.

Methinks choosing joy

above all else just might

be a wondrous thing!

09/17/2026

Autumn begins in 4

or 5 days. But, if I

had to opine, I'd say

it's upon us.

Sitting outside at 65°

rather than the usual

seventies and eighties

is a tad hard for my

aching bones.

Still I know, I must

take advantage of 

these days of heat

and sun.

Sooooo love being

A L I V E !!!
