A Coupla Political 'Musings...well, viewings...

I've NEVER...

I've never...
... been molested.

I've never...
... been jumped.

I've never...
... been forced to join a gang or any organization for protection.

I've never...
... been ignorant of my parents.

I've never...
... been without a roof over my head.

I've never...
... been truly hungry to the point of starving.

I've never...
... been flat broke where I didn't have a few coins in my pockets.

I've never...
... been so filled with self-hatred that I self mutilated.

I've never...
... been so lonely that I endured an abusive relationship.

I've never...
... been more THANKFUL in my LIFE for my Life!!

This isn't a poem - just a prayer of thanx to The Creator for life's blessings. This was inspired by students & loved ones who've endured so much around me. I am amazed, encouraged & motivated by their strength!

A Few Random Musings...

Church - I haven't been much at all this Summer. I intended to go this morning, but moved too slowly for the service I wanted to attend. I miss it, but also don't feel completely up to it, yet. I don't feel ready to answer all of the questions. I'm also curious about and want to visit other churches.

Rhythm - Got to get into a good working, writing, chore completing cycle. I feel as if I'm standing outside the double dutch rope bopping trying to figure when is the best time to jump in. I've been standing outside these ropes for a "minute"... since I began this new full time position. So, I guess I've been jumping this single rope & the other ropes are being neglected, for now...

Singular Living - As I think back historically, it seems many great folk were single for most if not all of their existences on earth: Jesus, Beethoven, Susan B. Anthony, Langston Hughes, Emily Dickinson to name a few. Why is it more acceptable to choose ANY other lifestyle than single? Why do folk think something is "wrong" with you if you choose to be single? I wonder if my waves of frustration have more to do with folks' reactions than my actual existence.

Connections - I am vibe driven. If I don't sense compatibility I can't "fake it until I make it".

On Being Aquarius: As the Water Bearer - "The waters of life flow, like ideas coming from the unrestrained mind. Many people mistakenly think that Aquarius is a water sign, but it is an intellectual air sign. Because of its universality, Aquarius can seem somewhat detached from personal emotions. It's not that you Aquarius don't have feelings; it's just that yours are different from most others. You dance to the beat of a different drummer." Although you have no problem making friends from all walks of life, it can be something of a challenge for you to find romance. Perhaps that's because you're not really the hearts-and-flowers type.

My ideal match according to the experts:
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) – Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Attraction explodes when Leo, the king or queen of the kingdom, encounters irreverent Aquarius. Aquarius, who refuses to bow before royalty, fascinates Leo; Aquarius admires Leo's ability to warm up any room with sheer charisma. Over time, though, Aquarius can become weary of Leo's need for attention, and Leo grows cranky as Aquarius continually defies social conventions. When you're ready to wash your hands of each other, drag each other off to bed instead. Spending time away from crowds and indulging the purely physical side of your relationship is the surest way to find common ground and reenergize your attraction.
According to Yahoo's Shine:
Leo is a Fire Sign and Aquarius is an Air Sign. Air fuels Fire and keeps it going; Aquarius can not only keep pace with the motion and fireball of energy that is Leo, but can add special effects. They can soar to astounding heights together.

Hmmm, know any Good Leos out there BlogFam? ;-)

W-healthly Wednesdays - looks alot like Thankful Thursday 2day:-)

I'm so excited to be ME, right now! Folk may think I found Gawd (not that I ever really lost Him;-), or a new, loving Sweetness has swept me off my feet. In a way, I'm feeling like I think a "Holy Roller" feels. I. AM. LOVING. LIFE!! I feel I'm in the greatest relationship I've evah been in! I'm relating to ME & a bit more aware of my relationships with those outside of myself. I seem to smile more (I know those who see me won't think that's possible - but the smile is coming from inside & it's not just for "show"). No longer feeling like I'm putting on for "my public". I. AM. FEELING WONDERFUL!! Don't know why -- but I've learned not to look a gift horse in the mouth (not sure why that iz -- but anyway). ALL this to say - I hope u readers are experiencing the wonders of this world, too!

Sending Cyber Hugz 2 ya ALL! Ciao for now! ;-)
