| Gee, I'm not nearly as behind in posting as I thought. It's only been 15 months now. :D
There's only one thing in my life that's changed, and that's everything. Let's see.
My hopelessly-broken marriage has ended, he moved out, our divorce is
final, and we're almost friends again. Through an unexpected set of
circumstances though, I found the person who is clearly the love of my
life. As odd as the circumstances are/were, and just HOW many things
line up, including cities we've lived in at various times throughout
our life, and the remarkable compatibility in everything from Paganism
including Discordianism, philosophies, outlooks, political and economic
opinions, and even mental and some physical health diagnoses, I'll have
to rethink the whole idea of soulmates, which is a concept I've never
believed in.
I had a job taking care of the developmentally disabled in a group
home, but for various reasons that didn't work out for me, mostly due
to the way scheduling was being done.
Nonetheless, this is someone I wouldn't have given a second look to had
we met in person. In fact, in many ways, not someone I could have been
happy with several years ago. Now, I'm not only happy, but I'm very
comfortable. I KNOW this one is different. Heck, the day I went and
picked him up at the airport, as I lie in bed procrastinating getting
up, I just KNEW that life would be different from that day on. And, it
has.
I have another person to be with and do things with, but mostly just BE
with. Sometimes he can't sleep at night, so gets up and practices
hammered dulcimer. He's unhappy with how well or not he's playing, and
he may have lost some of his previous abilities due to lack of
practice, but he once did a performance for the King and Queen of
Spain. Being awakened during the night by that caliber of dulcimer
playing is sure better than anything I could put on tape to put me back
to sleep! Plus, there's the comfort of knowing that someone who loves
me is there with me.
Today though, my Honey is sick. :( I'm not sure just with what,
but it certainly at least overlaps some of my health issues, I've felt
very similar, and I think I'm almost shocking him by caring, taking
care of him, not getting somehow upset with him for having the problem,
or what have you.
I just finished the book Broken Brains or Wounded Hearts
by Ty C. Colbert, PHD. One thing that he claims is that we need love a
lot more than labels and toxic medications. Others have found that is
what's needed for physical illness too - everything from the flu to
cancer to heart attacks.
I could go on and on about all of this, but I'll avoid writing a book
here. To sum it up, I took the "Rate My Life" quiz again, which I
posted the results of in my previous entry here. The results are a LOT
DIFFERENT!
Well,
that's about it. Some things haven't changed. I live in the same place.
I've still got both dogs. I've still got one cat, although said cat has
velcroed himself to James, my sweetheart.

| Well, if you ask how life is going, this about sums it upIn short, my love and social life are the pits, but my mind and spirit are fine.

| I haven't posted for awhile. I've been involving myself in Unitarian Jihad.
My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Sibling Garrote of Compassion. Get yours.
Other than that, my life has been turning inside out and upside down over the past year or so.
Beth
I decided to appeal to the name assignment committee.
My Unitarian Jihad Name is: The Atom Bomb of Moderation. Get yours.

| I haven't updated this for a long time because I haven't had much I
wanted to share with the world. I've had some good things happen as
well as some not-so-good.
You are green. Perhaps one of the most balanced of
all the colors. By balanced, I mean balanced
in both bad and good parts. Let me elaborate:
You're a natural, and somewhat superficial
person. You're extremely generous, but, to add
to the confusion, you're frugal and stingy.
You're a forgiving, but jealous person. You're
imaginative, but still logical. At sometimes,
you're a complete neat-freak, and other times,
you're a total slob. You're very stable, but
undependable. But onto the other traits that
are associated with this color... You're a
stubborn person, simply put. Do you believe in
Feng Shui? Green is closely related to the
thought of having a balanced environment, you
know. When in a bad situation, you're
painfully pessimistic, and when you're in a
good situation, you're extremely optimistic. A
fairly outgoing and amused person, you enjoy
talking to people, and hearing their thoughts
on different things. As a plus, when people
hang around you, it seems like time passes by
all the more quickly.
What color are you? (Amazingly detailed & accurate--with pics!)

| Well, the house is getting back together and I'm gettting back together
finally. Just in time to "kill myself" doing the next project. LOL I
took this quiz, and it told me that I really AM in love... and I've got
the perfect Honey to love! I love my Jason! It's only lasted 12.5 years
now. 
Beth
Take the quiz: "What Kind of Love Are You?"
Perfect Love
You

like the feeling of always being with them and but them before most
others. they are your life and you are theirs. you may even get married
someday.
