roving possibility photo of the day
 |
| the smushy, fuzzy, wooly, wishiness of my growing stash of roving possibility |
because of two very, uh, challenging sleep experiences of the past two nights, today's menu went from all sorts of ambitious, look out world, i am back greatness to hours of sitting and having a sleep deprivation headache to sleeping for a few hours this afternoon. and while i seriously considered taking a photo of my pillows, i thought i would instead grab one of my growing stash of wool roving. i started needle felting (read cool thing that you do with raw wool that involves a barbed needle to make it felt together and for me, A LOT of incredibly painful needle stabs) and just got an order of some more yesterday from my favorite supply store of all things craft yummy, Ornamentea! gonna chow down on dinner then start the stab-a-thon! woohoo.

indiana bones
 |
| this is one of my little furr babies. indiana bones. he has all the attitude that he looks like he does in the photo. he is adventurous (hence the name) and travels on his exploring feet all day long. he is fluffy, feisty, yippy and the cutest pain in the butt ever! he and his brother, charlie, are constant companions of mine. not surprising that one of them showed up only 3 days into the year. |
not the photo of the day BUT very important
I just read an article about the end of days. In case you like to keep up with your appointments...go ahead and save the date...May 21, 2011. In fact, they (www.wecanknow.com) have bumper stickers with 'save the date' and 'noah knew' that you can get for free, in case you would like to advertise.
Apparently the date comes from a careful reading of the scriptures done by Harold Camping, 89. He has said the Bible, which is a cosmic calendar, reveals the date.
While I guess I could be concerned about this for one reason, I am REALLY concerned about it for another. You see, I am afraid now, that my family may be involved in the end of days.
May 21, 2011 is one of my sister's and her husband's anniversary. Hm.
That could be a coincidence so I let it ride.
I kept reading the article (http://www.heraldonline.com/2011/01/03/2724064/loose-christian-movement-says.html) and they mentioned the most famous end of days dates as predicted by Baptist Leader William Miller. He said it was Oct. 22, 1844. Well, that is kind of distressing. October 22 is my other sister and brother-in-law' anniversary AND my grandparents' anniversary. Now THAT can't be a coincidence.
So it got me thinking that I should perhaps trek out to hear them speak when they are in NC, just to make sure that I am not, in fact, the anti-christ. At this rate, there is no telling.
If it turns out that it is my family that brings about end of days, and you were hoping for a bit longer on this ol' rock, well then I am sorry. Truly.

a new year
2010 has been one hell of a year. i lost my beloved grandmother, my amazing mom, then my little love cat. so much love gone from my life.
but one thing that i can look back at and be happy about is that every day this year, i kept a gratitude journal. to be honest, some days, it was only one thing that i could think to be grateful for. but through the darkest year of my life, i was grateful for something every day.
what it showed me is that even though i think i can't keep up with something, i can. and also that little tiny changes land up being rather fantastic.
there are a number of things that i am adding to my 'every day' this year. i will keep up my gratitude journal and some other things. but the one that i am really excited about is my photo a day.
every day for the whole of 2011, i will take a photo to document a moment of my life. and i will post them here for a record for myself as well as to share (a DH suggestion to keep me accountable). i am guessing that most days i won't comment about it, just share what i saw with my little eyes.
what are you excited about this new year?
may 2011 be filled with love, joy, abundance, great health and happiness to you all! i am grateful for each and every one of you!
love, ellie
