Where the heck did November go?
What the?! It's the end of November already! Only four weeks till Christams and five till the end of the year! Where the heck did 2009 go?!
I can't believe that time has raced past me without me noticing. Looking back on the last 11 months, I think I've achieved a truck load of outcomes and I'm happy with that but am just shocked that we are almost at the end of another year. I need to start planning for 2010 and work out my goals in terms of a job (having resigned I have no job after Jan 2010), where do I take O & M next year, the Council for CCIWI needs to be elected soon, my house renovation needs finishing and I MUST schedule some regular me time I think...
Smiles and blessings, Amethyst

Hi Amethyst, It seems the older you get the quicker time flies by ! it's at times overwhelming specially when you stay so busy, you don't take the time to enjoy other things in life that you want to plan or do. Years fly by quickly when you reach it seems like forty you seem to run out of things you want to accomplish in life and at the same time wonder if you will ever have the time you want to complete your life goals! Jeepers Creepers it is scary to think of your life in these terms but it's the truth! since i had my operation to lose weight and I'm down folks to 134 as today! and not 255 anymore I'm setting goals and I'm actually doing them! I'm not letting anything stand in my way to gain what i want in life! life isn't forever folks and when you realize this it's time to get off the couch and do something about it in stead of wishing and thinking , o i wish i could do this? why cant you It's just a silly excuses some make to get out of reaching their goals. i always wanted to formally take training in Wicca so i may properly call my self a Witch. Which I'm very proud to be a pagan, wiccan , witch ! and folks I'm doing it! i always wanted to learn belly dancing And I'm doing that. and I'm working doing something i actually love doing working in a group home teaching life skills to the mentally challenged and handicap children and adults hoping to give them a better quality of life and to full fill their life goals. this is my passion and always have been. next thing i want to accomplish is to have a wiccan wedding, and see Russia, Egypt and meet Amethyst our spiritual mother! and I know in due time this as well will be possible. so i hope there will be exciting things for Oak&mistletoe and for amethyst and us students, meaning more accomplishments and to take time out to enjoy nature and what mother nature has giving us as well as the stars, moon, sun and everything else in other worlds for us to share and learn about! Blessed be Tempest Star
Hi all, this is a subject
Hi all, this is a subject that I have put a lot of thought into in the past so thought I'd share. It seems to me that when we were little we were always looking forward to something (Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter, birthdays, school holidays, school starting.....). I can't remember how many times I was scolded for "wishing the year away". As we get older we learn to dread upcoming events (Christmas, Hanukah, Easter, birthdays, school holidays, school starting....). The more we dread the upcoming event the faster it speeds towards us. We often hear that we need to become as children again, to learn to find happiness in the spaces between the rewards (or events) but we seem to overlook this when we are swamped by 'real' life. I find that this is a perfect opportunity to bring my spiritual practices into each day. For me this means putting as much life as I can into each day, making choices to achieve a given outcome and making sure my actions support that outcome, then looking forward to the next reward!
For myself, I can't wait 'til Friday (my son is in his first public event as an air force cadet), after that I'm sure there will be something else to look forward to :)
