The Blahs or???????? I haven't been here much lately and just read a comment from Ranger wondering were I have been. Answer? All over the place. Still battling the IRS. In the home stretch of my complicated real estate crap, 3 's birthday's in a week, managing 3 households etc. etc. etc. It is a grind leaving me really wanting to go someplace silly like Vegas and just have fun but I can't use my credit cards or take money out of my ccounts until the real estate thing is done. I am still sick to death of political crap and petty bickering and getting more so as time goes by and you know how the saying goes - If you can't say anything nice............... The thought of more of the same from government is nauseating but the thought of a rude, crude insulting man as president is frightening. I really, really want to leave it all behind and return to living in Mexico full time but have too many family responsibilities to do that. The idea is not completely off the table. Just can't be in the near future. I've withdrawn into my art work, something that has always been a solace for me. It's hard to explain but I need to be creating and I haven't had much time for that in the past year or so. My art work has been on hold for about six months but I'm catching up. In the past month I completed new place mats and more intricately painted Dia De Los Muertos decorations - another smaller skeleton and 3 skulls. One more skull and I will have met my goal for this year. Then I will set up the display. I am thinking through and designing a huge project. I plan to do the pool and spa deck in one huge pebble and stone mosaic. It is an enormous area and will take a lot of planning to get it all coordinated then a very long time to complete I will likely do it in segments interspersed with other things, like repairing, cleaning etc. I've also been helping clean up the rubble at the lake. Another huge project, especially without the grader and skip loader. They can be salvaged but the cost and work of restoration is huge. Another long term on and off project. I am not the primary on this project but lend a hand as I can. I know I usually post pictures etc. but for whatever reason I have had a huge shift in energy and somehow it doesn't seem to match right now. There are several explanations for energy shifts. I am more motivated to make my efforts count for something productive than I have in many years. Those who know what I am talking about will get it. Those who don't won't be interested and will consider it just "New Age nonsense"or something like that. I am not in the mood fro debating it. Something everyone will agree with though, things are changing rapidly whether you think it is for the better or for the worse. Us "sensitives" feel it much more intensely and see it in far more detail. That about sums it up. Amazing how I can flip back into the "just the facts, Mam" mode I used when I did case narratives and court reports. As I said, my energy, thoughts and motivations are drifting farther and farther from political, religious and petty personal squabbling. I find the angry hateful, mean social climate in society in general more and more distasteful so am not my usual social self. However, I am keeping my eyes open for a forum where people discuss and share the kinds of things that match my areas of interest in polite considerate ways though. If anyone knows of any please let me know. I will likely continue posting more here but need to wait until as my grandmother used to put it "the spirit moves". Spiritwoman ^i^ |

Nice to see you Spirit...you have been missed. Don't forget about us over in The Round Room as I know you drop in there from time to time. Yes the political gambit is getting to all of us. Our news channels in Canada are full of it as well. It is hashed over again and again until there is nothing to hash about. Sounds like you have your plate full. Having your art work to turn to must give you some measure of peace and solace.

I can relate, that is why I was not overly concerned...... if I had been, you would have known it. I've just decided that I will do what I WANT to do, WHEN I want to do, not put TOO MUCH expectations on myself, and not worry about living up to ANYONE ELSE'S expectations of me. I know there are things that must be done and 'if it's to be, it's up to me', but I'm not even going to work myself into a tizzy over them. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I also can understand what you mean. Sometime life stinks but that is life. Come in whenever you are able. You are missed then you show up

Oh ET I am sure you are not looking forward to moving again. As we age I realize one has to minimize our stuff. During the winter months when it is dreary outside then it is time to start the sorting process again. I don't have the room to accumulate any more stuff so no more nick knacks for me. Wonder why it is that when people buy gifts nick knacks are the first thing they think of getting for you.

Even when things are going very well when I am creating is the only time I feel free and completely alive. Spiritwoman ^i^

2016 certainly had been a challenging time for me too. I am really hoping I can get in a few days of FUN somewhere before the "holiday rush". My MA family will be joining us this year and my sister's house is full up with stray kids so it will be interesting. Spiritwoman ^i^

Actually this site is one of the worst places for the crappiest of political crap - constant rehash of the same over and over and over. Kind of like lawyer think "The only reason you don't agree with me is becasue you don't understand so I'll keep saying the same old stuff until you get it." Ah the stuff challenge. I have been dealing with that one for the past 5 years. Just when you think you're done you realize you need to do it all again becaseu there is still too much stuff. Spiritwoman ^i^
