Thanking my Goddess

Yes, today I am thanking my Goddess. She came through and the first of my unemployment was deposited into my account this morning. The phone bill is paid and next week we should be able to pay the rest of the bills. So excited. I actually cried this morning when I saw the  money in my checking account. Cried and woke my mom up. I was so relieved and excited. Maybe tonight I will actually sleep peacefully the night through.



I decided to write tonight. To have poetry come from me... well, it doesn't happen often. But, tonight, this is what it is. Love

It fills you from the inside out
your heart hurts, your spirit soars
confusion in knowledge
forgetting how your feelings
knowing what you can't remember
feelings flowing
contacts bringing light
and shadow to a world
where aloneness thrives
and peace touches
you a way that
turns you inside out
as you remember to forget
never knowing
how to learn
the way he feels.

Day 10 of 100 days of gratitude:

Today I am thankful for a hospital that is taking good care of my sister, not sending her home before she is ready and is making sure that she is put into a recovery home where she will be taken care of.

I am also thankful for her grateful boys who are being so kind to her and making sure that she knows that they miss her.

I am thankful that I have someone to look forward too...

Day 9 of 100 days of gratitude:

Today I faxed two appeals with unemployment. One for my summer denial and the other for the over payment that I really do not have. So, after following the instructions of the person on the phone this morning, I faxed over the papers and this afternoon I got a call from a wonderful woman who is handling the paperwork for the over payment. It's already being taken care of. She was great, explained well how it will work, and it's all being taken care of. Yay! 

So now if only they approve my benefits for the summer, that would be amazing! I am so confident that it will go through. Something right has to happen this summer. 

Today I am thankful for a woman who actually does her job and is taking care of my claim. 

Druidry in my life ~ now what?

I think alot about the things that I have learned even when I am not doing the studying I should be doing. I find myself applying what I know more and more in my everyday life, wondering what to do next, who should I talk to, why am I not finding a job, what can I do to open my store. I have a man whom I love, how do I know if he will feel the same about me. How can I help my children make better decisions then I did at their ages. How can I help my mom to live a happy full life now at the end of her years. These are all things that I think about constantly in my day to day life. 

I am not afraid of death and growing old any longer. I do not exactly embrace it but feeling that I have a grasp of where I am going most definitely helps. They tell me that when you are good in your life, your next if you so choose will be better. My next life is going to be amazing. I have fought so hard for a good life and have spent it in constant struggle. I try to stay a peace with it, think that my time is coming. I am a good person, do for others without expectations for myself. But I am so tired. I do not want a lot, am not asking for the world. I would like to have love, someone to spend my days with and I would like to be able to do it in peace. To do what I want to do, to travel, to work to pay my way, and to enjoy what I do. I became a teacher, what I had always wanted to do. Now I can't do this as I cannot find a job. I have my store, my own business. Something my ex talked about doing but  never did. i did it and it is going reasonably well considering. My teaching tell me that what goes out comes back three fold and that my time is coming. Friends have done readings for me and they all say that my time is coming, easier times are in my future but that they road there is difficult and there will be struggle. Gee, not sure if I can handle struggle. Because that has never been part of my life. 

Over the past three years, there has been a someone in my life who I fell for though I should not have. I got to spend a year sharing a wall with him, listening to him work with his students, listen to music on the smart board, doing his work. We talked, got to know each other, and learned a little about each other. Now, his situation, that I knew was going to change though I tried hard to forget it, has changed and I am not sure how I fit in now. I know how I feel, not real sure about how he feels, and know that he is in no way close to feeling like me as he is coming out of a long marriage. What do I do with this? I am not sure, controlling myself, letting him lead though that is difficult. Trying not to touch to much (learned and probably should have known that he is not used to this). And... here I am writing about him in my blog... I just gave him the link to this yesterday. stupid me. If he reads this? Well, I guess I will be embarrassed, lol... Well, he knows how I feel I think so it's probably nothing new. 

And now I sit here, 12:32 in the morning thinking why am I here. I should be in bed. A friend gave me a job cleaning for him so that I can maybe get my unemployment. They are still fighting me on it but going to try anyway. Such a sweetheart, says he will pay me since they are still denying me. So tomorrow I will finish unpacking his apartment and get it cleaned up. Fun stuff... Anyway, headed to bed. Enjoy. Promise will have some actually Druidry stuff to write about next time.

Day 4 of 100 days of gratitude:

I a grateful for my daughter who cheered me up this morning and a good friend who is trying hard to keep my spirits up while I am so unbelievably stressed. 


Today I am also very grateful for friends. So many have stepped up to help us in these difficult times. I have had three orders in the last 24 hours and a friend, a very sweet friends, has created a company just so that he can hire me to help him. This will hopefully allow me to collect my unemployment and make it so that I can pay my bills and at least keep from getting further behind. Today, despite the fact that again I did not get my job, I am  blessed with loving friends and family. Thank you!
