Expectations

"The only person in this world you have a right to expect anything from is yourself." by Me

If there is anything in this life that I have learned, it is that the one person who will let you down the most, is the same one that will be there to save you in the end, and that person is YOU.

No appetite

I've been so focused on my move, and my stomach has been in knots for weeks. I just don't have any appetite to speak of. I have to remind myself to eat, and then it's juice, yogurt, chips. Today I forced myself to eat a sandwich, and not a very good one. I do better when Laurance is here because then I am cooking for him. I'm just not hungry.

I've lost 17 lbs...

...where did they go? If you find them, please don't send them home.

Just my thoughts...

GOD is not a person; therefore, it is fair to say that IT does not think or feel as a human would. Whatever that being is IT is vast and immeasurable, and beyond any form of real definition.IT is the universe, the galaxies, the stardust, the moon, and the sun. The atomic matter of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen that make up the universe, galaxies, the stardust, the moon, and the sun are the same elements that make up human kind, and yet IT is not a person.
The sole impetus of this natural force is evolutionary, IT exists in all form of matter.

Life the Unsuspecting Captive

Life, the unsuspecting captive
Of a million dreams,
Chains of desire bind so fastly to the earth.
Seeing the attachment formed
From knowing all those things;
Being alone and at one with the joys of rebirth.

Doesn't freedom look good?
Would you go if you could?
Fear keeps you locked up for good without keys.
But do not you suppose
That you could be among those
Standing in the shadows of release?

For Life is an unsuspecting captive
Of a million dreams,
Chains of desire bind so fastly to the earth.
Seeing the attachment formed
From knowing all those things;
Being alone and at one,
Being alone and at one,
Being alone and at one,
Being alone and at one,
Being alone and at one with the joys of rebirth.

Monsoons

It is raining like cats and dogs outside. Laurance is up in the mountains; of course, I am worried.

Even so, I love monsoon season in Arizona, and it is in full force tonight.

Israel dig sites helps scientists understand Bible's 'bad guys'

I found this article in the Arizona Daily Star. I found it rather interesting, in as much as it provides a good nucleus for further study. I hope you all enjoy it. Just click the link:

Glad to be leaving this house...

I am excited to be getting out of this house, after 5-years I have gotten nothing accomplished with the work that needs to be done. It has been a waste of time, money, and life. Getting out of here makes me feel invigorated, but the packing...eh...not so much.

Another week of camp...

Laurance's camp counselor contacted me today saying that he wanted to stay an extra week; she was so astute that she found him a sponsor at the last minute, so if he wants to stay an extra week he can. I miss him so much, but I am so glad that he is having so much fun. I can hardly wait to hear the stories he will have.

In the meantime, I plucked the first cantaloupe from our garden today, and it is a beaut.

I hear an echo, but...

I am okay with that. Posting to an empty blog with no followers, talk about privacy. Just get to listen to my own echo.

Out with the old...

...and in with the new, but not so fast...we always tend to get rid of stuff when we move, but this time I am getting rid of things that I have had for years. It is so cathartic, but I am finding that I am more detached than I was before. Just get rid of the old stuff, and move on to clearer ground.

More weight loss...

15 lbs. down since February this year. YAY!!!!

Christopher Moore, as per Lori Moreno

Love is not something you think about, it is a state in which you dwell ~ Christopher Moore

I got this from Lori Moreno, a friend I am following on Twitter. Thank you, Lori. Love from within not without; let's face it, that is the only real love there is. I can live with that. :)

Still healing a broken heart...

I don't understand how a man can feel that he is doing a woman great favors by using her sexuality as a weapon against her; in essence, teasing her. I don't understand why a woman has to play games in order to win a mans affections. Why can't a woman just love a man? Why can't a man just appreciate that love? Why do we have to lie, bat our eyes, play hard to get? How is it that honesty has had to find its way into the dark corners of love? Why is it that love has become a game to be won?

I will keep posting to these blogs until I can get my web site up. Please stay tuned...

Laurance heads off to camp tomorrow. It's going to be a lonely week, for mom, but a great week of fun and games for him.

Hearts get broken everyday...

...then they heal, and rebuild.

Things have been moving so fast the last couple of weeks. First we decided to leave this house, and within two days we had a new place picked out, within a week I was signing the lease. We move out September 2nd.

The next 8-weeks are going to be very busy. We will be starting rehearsals for "A MidSummer Nights Dream" in mid August, for a tentative opening on September 8th. In addition to the play and the move, I've just become a member of the Tucson Roscommon Sister Cities, and I will be their unofficial grant writer. We have a dance performance with the Sister Cities group on August 28th. It is going to be a busy end to Summer. I still have to get Laurance to Kitt Peak.

Signed the lease today; move in on September 2.

We are out of here....

Broken hearts and moving are good for the waistline.
