An excellent catharsis. I sleep better. I still have a lot to learn. Sometimes it's slow and I get frustrated and other times pieces fall into place unexspectedly. Feast or Famine. I have a lot of serious appts. with the kids this week. Nothing I can change by worrying, so this is a great help. I love following up on other people's threads and posts and going to their home sites and leaving little messages. Especially when they have done something to be proud of. My kids gravitate to my side here and there to ask questions. Something is beginning to spark an interest. They even laughed at me over my total lack of geographical knowledge while map reading today! Cool Huh?

cc Cylons House of Trancendental Meditation is beginning to take shape. I thought to handle Chakras and simple relaxation techniques to begin. I need to acclimate myself again. A friend bought me a Tarot gift set, the second person to do so in 6 mos., and I know they want to be read. I've hesitated but I'm doing the reveiw along with my history. I'm just going to keep it all simple and have fun...

I've been MIA lately, but not because I havn't been involved, quite the opposite. My new personna has taken a bit of work as I knew nearly nothing of that part of the world in ancient times. I am just now backtracking and reviewing. I need to renew my membership by May 2 for this persona. It shouldn't be a problem. Tomorrow is my birthday and I get paid on the first so I really havn't had to worry. I won't lose my first archetype(?) and all my work. As a matter of fact I want a new one, but not until I've mastered these two to my satisfaction. The new personna will take a lot of study and I will want an optimum patronage to get full advantage of groups and posts etc...I did better in this part of the world early on. Ireland and Gaelic and Irish slang and their celebrations and Gods and Goddesses are all foreign to me. At one point I was frustrated because If I knew how to pronounce something I could remember it so much easier. The name (I think) Aine came up. I was about to give up when all of a sudden I remembered working with an Irish girl right off the boats so to speak, some 20 years ago. Her name badge flashed in front of my eyes and it was spelled Aine. We all pronounced it Arnya. Well, that didn't tell me much about the rest of the pronounciation but I could still hear a faint voice saying me mum....and relaying how she was allowed to get drunk at a bar at 13 years old with "me mum". A few other more learned have thought to put in the pronounciation on some words.

The rest I just memorize the spelling. For people who don't pronounce the letter H, they use it in almost every word they spell! Then you have all your double letters.

Well I've started work on my house of transendental meditation. I believe it's at Knossos. Sad isn't it?
This is how much you struggle when you just have ordinary intelligence. But I have a great sense of humor and a big heart. Most important, in my position, patience. I'm almost ready to tackle Greece and Ireland simotaneously. Almost.
