| New Year, New Month, New Day     
Well, where do I begin? So much has happened since the first of February. I got my new house, moved in, didn't even have to time to completely unpack before Robert swung through town and picked me up on the truck. We went to celebrate Mardi Gras in Shreveport, Louisiana. We pulled the "Running With Bulls" float, it was so cool. I will have the pix ready very soon to post. I made it home and have been even busier with things that need my attention around the house. It seems that when you own your home, there is always something to do.... Anyhoo...I got more great photos that I just had to share...I couldn't stop laughing. I hope you all enjoy them as well. I am now counting down the days until I turn 36....not sure quite how to feel about it just yet. I spose it doesn't really matter because Robert is still older than I am..hehe. Clarksville is much smaller and much quieter than Paris, but definately a very friendly and pleasant place to live. I am enjoying the 70 degree weather, the daffodils are blooming and I am catching spring fever. I can't wait to see how much of the yard I can tear up and what interesting creatures I will come across in the process. I have managed to make a couple of friends here in town already ...even though I am quite far from so many I love, it's finally starting to feel like home. The sun definately seems to be shining on me. I thank God that it is a New Year, a New Month, and a New Day. | | |
| I Get Relief When I Am CutToday has been the day from hell......I won't burden anyone with the details, but I really thought 2007 was going to be a better year.....that remains to be seen. The disc I am listening to, christian pop group Plumb, sums up all that I feel right now. PLZ download it since none of their damn links will work here..... | | |
| Growing Pains 
 I wanted to share some thoughts of Kabbalah that I hope will inspire and enlighten you as much as it has me. So many of us have children, nieces, nephews, brothers, and sisters that we watch with wonderous joy and awe as they grow into adults. Its not an easy time, for them, nor was it for us. All too quickly we forget the pain that was is endured during this time...and we rarely realise that we, as adults, are still growing. Kabbalah teaches us to strive to become, and grow closer to God. Its a life long process that is never accomplished until we are reunited with Him in His kingdom. As we live life, and dodge all of its distractions and pitfalls, we need to remind ourselves on which path we are. Its not easy, life rarely is. Its also a painful process, especially when others are quick to point out our short comings and mistakes. I personally feel the pain comes from knowing that we are still so far from truely knowing God, that we often allow anger to dwell in its place....not to mention, no adult likes to heat that they have been "naughty!" It is so much easier to blame this, that, or whomever, but if we can learn to embrace this pain, this "growing pain" and realise God has already forgiven us, we are less likely to be angry and take it out on those close to us. God knows how difficult it is to traverse the path that He has set before us, but by continuing our journey, complete with scraped knees and hurt feelings, we are always one step closer to Him. Just like when we were kids, we learn quickly from things most painful.... Did I mention that I was MOVING? I have been a bit overwhelmed as of late by my house and all of its problems, um, I mean "charm." The last straw was when I needed the main sewer line replaced, which meant digging up my entire front yard. I started looking at houses and found a super nice one in Clarksville (30 miles due east on US 82). Its through the same real estate company, so getting it was rather quick and easy (like so many men I have dated). The nice thing about it is, its in beautiful shape, move in condition, and without any "necessary" repairs. I was beginning to wonder how I was ever going to afford to fix this place up completely, well, now I don't have to worry about that, my new house is only 51 dollars more a month. All I HAVE to do is paint my room because I HATE BEIGE!!

| Nesting The weather has been warming this week, and it makes me nest. I've been running around the house all day working myself into quite a state. My mum calls this nesting. I'm not sure why I am ging through it now, I haven't anyone but myself to please. I'm not trying to attract a mate either. Spose I shouldn't question it. One never knows when a bird may come along, hopefully with a broken wing, it makes them so much easier to catch. I got more interesting emails as of late. I REALLY like these photos. They are remarkable. I also received one called Red's Box, but it isn't appropriate to post. You will just have to use your imagination... Mardi Gras is coming soon. Robert is swinging by to collect me. We are going together with a butt load of beads! He actually is pulling a float in the parade. It should be so cool! I can't wait, I haven't been to New Orleans in like forever. I intend to take LOTS of photos. Look for us on COPS because I am sure we will find trouble, or it always manages to find me rather. | | |
