Planning Ahead....

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. Nope.

You Should Be a Politician

Confident, assertive, and dedicated - you know what you want in life and how to get it. Stubborn and opinionated, you can stand your ground... even if it's unpopular. And while you have strong views, you never overwhelm people with your opinions. A true charmer, you subtly influence people into seeing things your way. You do best when you: - Work according to your own rules - Can change the world with what you do You would also be a good lawyer or talk show host.

What if I don't want to grow up?

This-n-That Thursday

• Baton Rouge
• clean salt and pepper shakers
• the sea's monumental indifference
• avoiding people who make you feel guilty
• the moment after the show ends and before the applause begins
• footsteps on gravel
• mermaids and sirens
• prehistoric stones scattered across fields
• making spiced apple rings
• deep-rooted being
• the alcoves of a room
• the way to school
• no-fault insurance
• learning about our ancestors

Today's post borrowed from here. Because I felt like it. And I'm old and can do what I want. Sometimes.

Happy Wednesday

How's your week going so far?

116 Days Until May

Aquarius Horoscope
For The Week Starting January 3, 2011

- Start pondering about some realistic goals for yourself because they could be met within the next two years. It is your turn for a new home or business (or both?) within that time period. A nice opportunity should be presented to you during the month of May. Significant months for you to watch this year are March and July when it is out with old and in with the new

I'll take this one. How's yours looking?

A New Year's Prayer

Gracious God, please give me

A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,

Without which the world would be poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail not be blazed;

An understanding heart;

A sense of humor;Time for quiet, silent meditation;

A feeling of the presence of God;

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

With the wisdom to recognize them when they come. Amen.

These were the closing words we said at the New Year's Eve service where we wrote our concerns, fears, hurts on a piece of paper, and then released them in a burning bowl as we left. It is one of my favorite traditions at our church. Many share this feeling with me, and we all suppose we actually may be Druids. And that is okay with us....

May your year be filled with peace, prosperity and love.

Happy New Year, Paxie!

A coffee pot is on its way! Now I must get to my black-eyed peas;)
