Coronations, Duran Duran and Life, Oh My!!!

Today, Britain crowns its new king, Charles.  

While this is a good thing, I hope that he will be as good as Elizabeth.  We can only pray that his reign is healthy since it may not last more than twenty years.

I do hope he does well, and I hope that everything goes well for him.

I have to say that Princess Anne has overshadowed her family through out the last eight months.  She is one amazing woman!!  I love her so much! Her strength has been awesome through all of this...I felt worse for her since this was her mother.  Part of me feels that she has been overlooked and should have taken on the monarchy. 

I guess there is still a weird thing going on in the succession of the monarchy. Oh well.

I will say this about the events of today...I think that the road to today was paved with much pain and suffering on the part of many people and there is much discussion on whom everyone believes should have been queen, but you must remember that Diana never believed that she would become a queen of a nation. She found love in the end that transcended the pain she went through at the hands of Charles...yes, I blame him more than anything in that scenario, but Camilla also should have had a conscious.   

However, today was about Charles and Camilla, and when his time comes, we will happily remember Diana when William is king...and remember her with complete love and smiles.

It has been five months since I started my new job.  I love this job!  My boss is so nice and accommodating to my needs and is so nice and kind.  I spend most of my day waiting for customers, so I knit, read and watch Asian dramas all day.  I love this job still!  I get up in the morning and am happy to go to work, knowing that what I do is valued and that I have people I work for who are good people.

I have been spending a lot of time on my spiritual path.  I feel that it is needed.  I am celebrating the Sabbats since I am healthy now and have the strength and endurance to practice.  I am reconnecting with the Goddess and myself.  I am feeling more free these days.

I am happy that the spring has finally come and it feels glorious!  I look forward to this time of year when the first cold days hit.  

Recently, Andy Taylor of Duran Duran came out and told the world that he has prostate cancer and that it is incurable.  This makes me so mad because he and Duran Duran played such a huge role in my teenage years and with my step sister and friend Chameron.  I think that she is now hovering near him to watch over him as he goes through this.  I get where he is at and understand completely...I just wish that he didn't have to suffer because he and Duran Duran have a huge place in my heart.

I have been very slovenly lately. I have not really cleaned my home for a long time...though it is in decent shape, there are things that I have not felt like doing.   I make plans to clean, then I just sit and watch Asian dramas all weekend...I am trying to get myself organized and back on track, but my energy levels are not that high.  

At first I thought that I was going through depression, but that is very strange since I have beaten  cancer and have a job I love...I also have a family that supports and loves me, so why would I be depressed?  This makes no sense since I am always calm and in a positive mood.  No, I think it is because I am just plain lazy anymore...

I have gotten out of the routines that I had before the illness and can't seem to get back to where I need to be.  I am working to change that now.  I am getting of my ass and doing things here and there slowly to get back on track.

Since I am working on my spiritual path more, I think that it will help spur me on to do more in my home than just sit and watch television.  Let's hope so!!

Blessed be

Mists of Avalon

Two days in a row!  WOW!! I have been re-reading Mists of Avalon.   I know, last year I was supposed to be a part of a book discussion on it...
