Okay, I know it’s not Wednesday anymore, it’s Thursday… but its better late than never, isn’t it?

So… we just passed the holy day of Mabon, Harvest Home, Autumnal Equinox… whatever you want to call it. Just like every other holy day this year I practically missed it, and I felt a pang of loss at not marking the day to note the abundance of second harvest, and making it special… if ONLY I had realized this on the weekend.

But we did eat pumpkin pie that day… so that totally counts

Thinking of ABUNDANCE… what do I wish to have an abundance OF?

ONE: Time

But not just regular time, QUALITY TIME. You know the kind, stuff that you…

The rain is back… it’s a cold drizzling rain that has been water logging the grass and causing mass muddies everywhere. This summer has been unusually wet, to the point that GirlChild had managed to wear a hole in her rubber boots early in the summer… and yet the rainy season has continued through the summer and into the fall…

Could be worse, I guess… it could turn white.

It is fall… officially. It has felt like fall for a few weeks now, with the frost in the air, the early sunsets and the late sunrises. It’s getting harder to get up in the wee hours of the morning, and harder to sleep soundly through the wee hours of the…

I have a confession to make:

I still have my wedding ring.

I don’t wear it. In fact I took it off the MINUTE I walked out that door never intending to come back. Once I made the effort to pack up my things and LEAVE I knew that things were over.  Truly my marriage was over long before– once theEx chose to take a job opportunity that had him living away from myself I no longer felt able to trust that we were partners. without partnership and trust there really was not enough to hold the marriage together and weather storms.

I had worn that ring for almost 10 years… it was a symbol of attaining a goal –…

Okay… I missed Wishcasting on Wednesday, so I’ll do it on Thursday.

Jamie asked

“what do wish for LESS of?” …

The first thing that came to my head? RAIN.  Seriously, the rain and dampness and WET is just bothering me this “summer”… I’m SURE its bothering the farmers too.

This has been the wettest summer I can remember for Saskatchewan, although I can’t find any numbers stating how much rain we’ve had, the fact that the ground has been so saturated that rain is no longer being absorbed into the soil (hence the swamp under my back deck) and the flooded ditches and fields around my home would make me believe it is a WAY bigger number than the…

The last 3 years I have been wandering, lost, in an unknown place. I shook off the chains of my marriage, I left an abusive situation, and I gained my freedom. But in a lot of ways I wasn’t READY for the freedom I gained, and the sudden freedom really messed with my mind.

Where I was….

TheEx monitored me 24 hours a day. I was used to being watched and scrutinized and was fearful of talking to coworkers, fearful of phone calls and emails, and fearful of making plans. For years I knew that my husband would call me at work, randomly, and hope to catch me away from my desk, which he assumed meant that I was engaging…
