Life Is Getting Better....

It's been a long time since I have blogged.

I know that I should be here more often, but I have only just gotten some parts of my life together so that I am not always talking about what I need to do or what I want to do...

My health is better and I am getting stronger every day.  I feel great and am working through Outlander and blogging a chapter or so a day on Outlander Musings.  

I have had some rough times with my spirituality, I keep trying to figure this out and I am almost there.  I am hoping to have those routines on track in the next month or so.

I have a new temporary job that is helping me gain my strength back and I am working on getting a different job at an old place that I once worked at...I loved the job there, but the problem was transportation and the laziness of the owners.  This time it might be different.  We shall see.

I'm also working on another place that is closer and the transportation situation is much better. I am waiting for them to be hiring again.

By January, we will have a new president-or a president who was in office before who did a great job.  I am happy by this new administration because I know that we will be taken care of and he will do like he had done before...make us prosperous again,  

Next week is Thanksgiving and I am looking forward to it.  I love  these holidays because they are about family and love.  I can't wait to sit down to dinner with my family again.

I am starting my rituals back up at Yule,  I think that it is time for me to get back that part of me that I feel that I have let go of recently.  I need to reconnect with my inner goddess and the world around me once again.

I don't know why, but as I await the new episode of Outlander season 7b, I am really not that interested in the show anymore.  We waited over a year for the second half of this season and my interest in the show has waned.  I rarely search out news of the show anymore.  I am more interested in the novels and in Book 10 coming in the future.  I am not interested in the final season of the show (season 8) either.  I will finish out the television medium of the Outlanderverse, but I will just go back to the books and read those.  

I am barely interested in the new Outlander spinoff of Diana Gabaldon's Blood of My Blood coming on to Starz, but I will watch it when the time comes and blog on it.  I am more interested in the actual book coming out than the show.  I used to get excited about all of this, but recently, it just seems so blah to me.  

I haven't even done a binge watch of the show in ages.  Instead, I have binged the Marvel movies and watched old television shows.

Speaking of...I have gotten back into Little House On The Prairie.  I bought all 9 seasons of the series on DVD and binge that show a lot.  

Melissa Gilbert has a social media/shopping app online called Modern Prairie.  It is for women over the age of 40 to share crafts, recipes, advice, laughter and lives with each other.  There are events that you can attend on cooking, living, and reading.  I love the site. It is a great place to find friends.  I have  been on the app since May.

I think that life is getting better, I just need to continue to work on who I should be and who I want to be as time goes by.

Blessed Be

Pre-Work Autumn Views

 As I prepare for work, this beautiful fall day is making me feel like I need to go back to my hometown and live in comfort there.1

This is the park near my home.1

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 with some people online last year, but the whole thing got derailed when the moderator stopped after the fifth chapter of the second book.  She had a lot of things happen on her long road trip and I think that she forgot about the book.

So, I decide to go ahead and just finish the book myself and do a review here.  Why not?  This book did shape a bit of my thinking where my path is concerned.  I am almost halfway through the book now so give me some time for it.

I know how many feel about the author of this book, but after some research on her and the rest of the story, I get the feeling somethings aren't as they seem, even if the author seems a bit self absorbed.

I had forgotten a lot of this book, and it has been fun remembering and reliving the reading!!!

Blessed be! 

I Am Lazy

i know that it has been a while since I have done anything.  I have been very lazy, all I do anymore is sit around and knit, read or hardly do much.  I barely celebrated the Sabbats.  

This laziness is getting out of hand recently.  I need to get out of myself and start doing more.

My home is a mess and needs reorganizing, my alter needs more of a spruce up, and I think my butt is getting flatter..

At the beginning of the year, I talked about doing books reviews on Wiccan books but I have been so lazy that I haven't even gotten around to considering it.  I should because I want to keep this place interesting and fun.  

So far, all of my cancer tests have been coming back good,and I am not really sick...I am just lazy.  

Starting tomorrow morning, things are going to change a lot.  I am going to start with cleaning my home and getting out of my pajamas every day...I only change out of them when I absolutely need to go out...I am going to change that.

Beltane is a week from tomorrow.  I am going to try to have the house and my world back to its rightful way around that time.  

 I am going to try to be online more often in the future to blog about things of almost all topics.

Blessed Be

My Spiritual Path Needs Help LOL

 I think that I want to start doing more about Wicca  in my blogs.  I have not been posting much about it because I have not been practicing as I should in  recent years...despite the cancer fight that I had, I hadn't practiced much for years after I became Wiccan.

I have been learning and studying the Craft for years, but have been very remiss in actually practicing as much after the first few years.    

I don't know why this is, because I love this path.  I love learning about it and I should be doing more to get to the next stages of my life..

I often feel like a bit of a fraud when it comes to my path because I say I am Wiccan but don't practice on the regular.   

Well, I am going to fix this...I am going to start from the beginning, and I am going to go from there.  

I have the things I need and want for my practice and alter.  I am going to try to devote time daily to practicing and studying my path...I will also try to do something  every day for myself and my life.

I miss the days when I did practice and try every day, I miss the time I spent in nature connecting.  I am going to go back outside as soon as the weather is better and I can touch Mother Nature.

I am going to work on myself and my path.  I am  tired of feeling like this.

Blessed Be

Happy Imbolc

Happy Birthday To Me!

 I am 54 today!  I am excited!!  I have been loving my 50's so much despite the cancer that I fought at 51.  

This crone phase has been very good to me. I have felt very alive and  blessed by the Goddess in all things.

HAPPY  BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Happy New Year

 I am looking forward to the new year.  

This  year is going to be better than the last few.  I am going to take time off from working so that I can get better and get my life back where it needs to be.

I am considering doing some Wiccan book reviews here. I have a lot of Wiccan/Pagan/Witchcraft books that I like, and I want to share my thoughts on them soon.  We shall see.

I hope that everyone has a prosperous new year and you achieve your goals!
