Remember this post? Well, I found it! Finally talked to the right person, and viola!
the gargoyle poster… “Gargoyles” by Michael Parkes
he has some other interesting pieces (http://www.michaelparkes.com/)… just wanted to share :)
sorry i don’t have more substance on this blog as of late… not sure why i’ve been a woman of few words… maybe that’s because i’ve got so many of them running around in my head? who knows.
things i’m thankful for:
- my friends
- a job that is challenging (albeit draining at times)
- cinnamon chip french toast (to be cooked fairly shortly… the anticipation is killing me)
- coffee currently brewing
- beautiful autumn weather
- the forecast for a gorgeous day ahead
things i can’t do anything about:
- why even write this category? although cathartic, it won’t help me much… so i’ll just leave this one alone
things that i look forward to in the future:
- understanding why G-D allows suffering in the world
- understanding why life can get messy and complicated at times
- cultivating more community and… and… well – that’s about it.
i have no idea where this came from – please feel free to steal 1.5 minutes back from me (as I’ve stolen from you b/c you’ve read this blog)
just wanted to say hello – hope you are doing well, gentle reader… whenever you are on this big mostly green earth :)
love,
~rain.
I *really* need to tidy the kitchen… but I **really** don’t want to.
i’m lovable
thank you all for your comments in the last post – they were thoroughly enjoyable! and helped me through my week –
especially noteworthy:
T&E’s favorite quote
Miss Lisa's most important life lesson
Ian's things he’s thankful for (me too!)
Rosamundi's life lesson made me laugh out loud!
Chas' favorite quote & and his wish list item is impressive indeed!
Steve makes me want to go back and visit the pre-1980 music scene (actually, i’ve got some of his stuff…good stuff!)
Jack the Lass makes me 1) very proud of her for her #5 and 2) i’m totally intrigued by her music selection…note to self: check Seth out soon.
Thank you all for playing – it’s been a pleasure, and I now have some really really really good book suggestions for the next time I walk into a library and think to myself (totally overwhelmed) “there’s nothing good to read here”
You may now pass Go and collect $200

So I’ve recently had to reestablish some significant boundaries with someone… which is a challenge. Especially since the boundaries were pushed to extreme & became blurry and tangled and undefined…so now it’s time to redefine things.
And, I’m learning, that sometimes this process is painful and/or hurtful. However, in the long run, when you’re investing in a friendship/relationship, and both parties are in with both feet (or at least 1.5 feet), in my heart, I know it’s totally worth it. Hopefully the feeling is mutual.

In other news, I took a mental health day today… in doing so, I feel justified in taking a “sick day” because if I went to work today *while* not wanting to be there, it would make me sick. (the justification works in my head, anyway!)
Did not get much of anything accomplished, except to ‘think’. And I made a few crafts (including starting some holiday presents). And took a nap. And went to the store. And I came home. And made dinner. …so maybe it was a productive day after all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tomorrow is a looooooooooong day at work – which totally bums me out, because I *really* want to be home in time to watch the Biden/Palin vice presidential candidate debate on television. I know it’ll be up on YouTube or something by Friday, but I want to experience the whole thing live, with the rest of the country/world, you know? Hopefully I won’t get a speeding ticket while traveling home in time to switch on the tv… wish me luck.
