Here is hoping everyone has a great Fourth. Celebrate and be safe!
The weather here is not too cooperative, but since I have to work, it does not matter. We will celebrate indoors and all will have a great time, regardless.

Winter

Apologies for yesterday's bitch session, but I was in a dark place and it was cold there. Today isn't much better. but I truly believe we reap what we sow, and I need to get my head into a better place.

Today is the first day of Yule. Today we light the first of four candles and allow the light to permeate our souls and lift us up...for all my witchy friends, have a blessed and happy Yule, and for everyone else, happy holidays, whichever one you celebrate.

Have a Blessed Day

Holiday Wishes (little late)

The feast of Ostara takes its name from the Goddess Eostre, of whom little is known, except that she must have been a Goddess of spring, fertility, rebirth, and the rising sun. Her name is etymologically connected with both the "east," and with a word for "shining; glorious." The Ostara worship was so strong in the Germanic lands that the somewhat similar Christian feast of rebirth and renewal was given the Goddess's name. Bede recounts that the Christian Paschal feast was named after the heathen Goddess Eostre, and so this celebration is still named Easter among the Christians. There is no specific date on which the Ostara feast must be held. The three mightiest times at this turning of the year are the equinox itself and the new and full moons following the equinox. It is probably better in general to celebrate Ostara during the waxing moon.

THE YEAR IS NEARLY OVER!

Here we are again in the last month of the year. It is hard to believe that, not only is it the 12th month, but also nearly the 9th year of the new millennium. It seems like only yesterday we were all worried about the computers failing to handle 2000, but I still haven't started on my New Years Resolutions for last year!

Here's to all the friends we lost in 2008. I wish them well on their journey. Here's to all the friends we still have with us. Here's to family here and gone...2 and 4 legged both, for they hold a special place in our hearts. And here's to all that we may meet and touch in all the days to come.

Today, I shall take some time to reflect on all the beauty and love that has touched my life in the last 60 plus years, and thank the Creator for all the blessings I have received, and hope you all have a few minutes to reflect on all who touch your life, also.

Happy Turkey Day

Today will be like most Thanksgivings at my house...or should I say at work, because that's where I'll be spending the day. The Supervisors do set out a spread of cookies, cold meat, rolls, and snacks for the staff, and we usually cook a big Thanksgiving dinner on the cottages, but we are not allowed to do it on Thanksgiving, as dietary had the holiday meal prepared for the individuals.

I see my DD will be on the road to the in-laws, and is a bit upset that there will be no left-overs, but they will be doing the "Big Meal" on Friday.

I made my mini-meal lastnight, chicken, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, and the left-overs will be going with me to Polk, today.

Have a great day, and don't overeat! And may the Creator be thanked for our blessings.

Samhain

For those who believe, this is the time of the new year. This is the time the veil between worlds is the thinnest. A time to say goodbye to the recently departed and welcome into the world, those to be born soon.
Blessings to all believers, and a wish that we all celebrate the lives of all who touch our mortal existence.
