First day of winter here above the equator and longest night of year. I did up my yule altar to remind my self they're things I feel that light need to be shine on. Or I need and or want to do better in these areas.
1. Celebration, I should be celebrating my self. CONFESSION TIME...At times I feel undeserving or when I do something well I can feel guilty.
2. Resilient, This one I look some as same as broaden my horizon. In many areas of our life.
3. Quemeful (Merciful) Confession time...I know I have said "Let God be merciful, because I had no plans of it" We all need to be kind to each other. Even if we don't see eye to eye. It not just higher power to be Quemeful. It also our job to be merciful.
4. Knowledge, Having knowledge and wisdom is good. But having truth is much stronger. It will move your knowledge into correct place. Instead of saying "I'm the way" Maybe it should be "I'm truth, light and knowledge of my life"
In the evening when lights are turn on the Christmas Tree. Abner the cat likes to lie under tree. I don't think I had kitty who didn't enjoy being under the tree. Look on bottom of tree one can see my piggys(Toes)The market piggy is missing.Hope I could spend some of my time with Liz. But found out she didn't go to bed until 8 this morning. Since she will be mourning. I wasn't sure if she might need time alone. I know she or it would be very unlikely she would say "Hey I need some time to my self, why not we cancel for a few days" I would understand and my feeling wouldn't be hurt. But I went over to Regis and he lives in Apartment building and his neighbor Poet, stop and gave me a Christmas gift. And show me the project she working on she been making crochet afghans. But to find out two or three weeks ago. Regis was outside naked, yelling for me. Not sure how he got back into his place. But the cops was called and he wouldn't open his door. But my guess he convince him he was all ok. Than I know they came anther time. But in all honest I only got his side of the story. Which one might not get the entire truth. See Regis told me he start to walk over to Regis to Liz and Fleming picked him up walking. But to find out he just walk over to there apartment and ask for ride. Fleming was glad to give him a ride. But the funny part Regis didn't remember where he need to go. But he gave directions over to Liz place. I wouldn't want to be in Regis Mind. If it wasn't for his mental illness. And the way he lies and believes them. I would of quite long time ago.This morning before I went to work. I paid some bills. Since my hours wasn't fulfilled my checks been quite a bit less. So I only paid a third of my credit card. It being put up and won't be use until it paid off. I didn't max it out. I keep having somewhat conversation about working. But still I need the break both mentally and physically. Paid my health insurance of $1077 which will be straighten out as soon as I get the paper work send off to the state. Than it will be lower down to about $45 a month. The $1077 will be credit on my account. Which should cover me for the entire year and possible get some back.
It snowing now, but it winter also.
Coffee is on and stay safe
I like that the days will be getting longer now
ReplyDeleteYour Yule altar is just lovely! Winter solstice blessings to you, Peppylady Dora!
ReplyDeleteI´m with you, I feel I never deserve a compliment. We are "stupid", huh? Instead of happliy saying, "thank you!"
ReplyDeleteShortest night of the year here.
ReplyDeleteCelebrating yourself and resilience are both good.
Electric lights have been around for well over a century and that is many generations of cats that with evolutionary instinct have learnt heat comes from the Christmas tree lights. Except now with LED lights, it no longer does but it will take a few generations to unlearn about the warmth of Christmas tree lights.
...enjoy your snow and have a warm, safe and Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeletesuch lovely decoration!
ReplyDeletei hope you will feel better soon
Let the light shine! Happy solstice!
ReplyDeleteInteresting how so many different cultures have holidays this time of year, holidays that involve letting in the light.
ReplyDeleteYour alter is very pretty and Abner sure looks nice and comfy!
ReplyDeleteWe're on the upswing with light in each day. That always makes me excited. Hope you're friend gets some professional help, sounds like he desperately needs it.

ReplyDeleteGreat list for Yule.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, Regis' life is a lot of drama.
ReplyDeleteJust like Abner, I too like the lights from the Christmas tree. Beautiful Christmas decorations. Stay warm and be blessed.
ReplyDeleteSolstice over Stonehenge in the UK was beautiful, bright orange sky. I hope you feel peaceful and enjoy Christmas and that worries about budgeting won't spoil things, that maybe you will go out in that snow and make a snow angel and a snowman and have fun :)
