Good morning!!!! For the record, I admit I don't have any permanent tattoos. Honey, however, has this beautiful Celtic cross with light shining from behind it on his shoulder. He has plans to add to it someday before moving to other parts of his body.
The main reason I don't have one is simply this: I'm afraid I might get bored of it and then I won't like it anymore and then I may regret getting it in the first place. My solution to this problem? Henna.
Yup... it's getting to be that time of year again. Often I stick to simple designs and butterflies that suddenly take on a life of their own and grow and grow. Feet, ankles, all parts of the arm and hips are all fair game.
Curiosity grows. Do you have a tattoo? Where? How long and are you bored with it or do you love it as much as the first day you got it? No? plan on it someday??? Go ahead, add to both sides of the argument in my head if its worth it or not to get one.....
I know, I know, I know. Don't dwell on past mistakes, just learn from them. Don't focus on the negative, think positive. Don't let the crap of life get you down. Rise above it. If you don't like it, change it.
Change it.
Favorite songs, favorite poems, inspirational youtube videos, beautiful sparkling images from photobucket, quilt patterns, horses, favorite scent, an emotional heart pounding moment from a favorite book.... and nothing. I can even hug my arms around myself as tight as I can and still, I can't seem to give myself what I need.
I went to bed last night with a plan of action for today. The list was simple. Apparently, my brain has a few other things to say. It's decided to spark and sputter creating a wave of overreaction, stress and insanity. Apparently it's a "It's not your brain on drugs, but your brain on hormones" moment.
yuck... that just does NOT look like a healthy egg, does it.....
I took cycles of energy yesterday to really put a dent in the housework that needs to be done. Today it was simply maintenance. With both washer and dryer going, I sat down to peruse youtube for something fun for the Inner Fire as I have really been missing blogging. Nothing was right????!!!! How on earth can that be? With all the thousands and thousands of videos on there... Nothing???
And so I write. The "first" draft was all so phony though. It wasn't what I felt and I'm quite certain it showed. I wonder... sometimes, why can't we just be pissed off for the sake of being pissed off. As long as we can control it to the point of not hurting anyone why not just let it burn itself out? Why can't one just be a touch more scarcastic than usual. Can one have fun with their slightly darker moods?
Got any chocolate chip????
As I've written this off and on throughout the morning, all ready, I feel cracks in the mood. It's a good or bad thing depending on where the mood goes. Sometimes, it seems that no matter how hard you direct things, it's going to go where it darn well wants to. Either way, it's life and it's managable.
Wow.... I've got to say, this virus is kicking our asses from here to kingdom come. Well, actually, the girls are doing much better. Pumpkin went back to school today. She was quite sad, but if it hadn't been for the pounding in my head, I would have been dancing. She sure knows how to wind her little sisters up!!! The other two are starting to live up to their nicknames ~twinadoes~ once again. Okay... so maybe is it a little nice to hear laughing and playing again, but does it have to be so darn LOUD????
Saturday and the beginning of Sunday I wished for lightening to strike me because SURELY that would have been easier to deal with than the whole head congestion and cough. Nothing I did worked. It seemed to take so much energy just to get a satisfying breath in my system. I was able to take a nice nap Sunday afternoon and I did wake up feeling a little better.
Today, I had to wake up to life once again. Errands such as banking and grocery shopping found me. Tomorrow it's dentist appointments and Wednesday it's other stuff. In all actuality, I just wanna sleep.....
Amazing what you find when you go exploring. After the crazy weather this weekend I asked myself, why the heck am I living here in Maine again?????? hummm.....
This is a spot in Acadia National Park called Sand Beach. It's surrounded on three sides by rocks and forest and is such an awesome place to go for a picnic or to dip your toes in the water. This video must have been taken before tourist season began because usually the beach is extremely crowded.
And this is certainly a favorite in Acadia~ Thunder Hole. I can't tell you all the time we've spent at the very edge of the walk getting absolutely soaked as we listened, watched and definitely felt waves crash into the cave creating a "thunderous" sound.....
The end of this clip is the best. tee hee....
This video is from the Quoddy Head State Park. Obviously, where there's a lighthouse there should be water, but yes, the fog is so darn thick, you can't see it.... but listen...
I searched and searched for the "perfect" video to end this blog post. Well.... I didn't exactly find it, but this video talks about a photographer who lives in Maine and she's got some beautiful shots. So.... I couldn't resist.
Well... hopefully that will keep you guys busy for the next day or two until I can get back. I miss blogging. I miss visiting, I miss a lot of stuff although mostly breathing at an easy pace is what I miss the most. tee hee...... Catch ya's later.....
