Sadly life changed for me and I no longer felt able to write here. Luckily things are back to normal and the least said the soonest mended, I do believe.
I have heard it said that writing a diary is a carthartic experience. Not sure I fully believe that, but anything that keeps the brain ticking over and stops one from stagnating cannot be so very bad.
I accept that none but me shall probably ever read this tiny weblog. I am fine with that. Sometimes it is just enough to know there is place one can express the thoughts running pell mell across one's mind.

Finally...
... I have started making preparations for Yule. Sadly there will be only myeslf and the cats yet again this year, but I am hoping that I will still be able to have some fun and make the occasion special.
I have finished drying the orange slices and I am going to see about getting some seasonal greenery for the cottage soon... I would like some holly and ivy and also a small festive tree. I had a lovely one last year that I was given by someone in the village as a thank you for some herbal remedies I gave him for his cough and chest problems so I am going to see if he has anymore this year (although I am hoping that he is well enough for me to be able to buy one this year lol).
Think I'll get an early night and make an early start on the household chores that I was too ill to manage over last weekend.

A day that has made me sad and livid
I have left Christian Forums... terminated my pet (which made me sad, even though I know it is not real), cleared my account, turned off all visitor and private messages and unless something drastic happens I shall not be back!
Not only was my prayer to Selene forcibly removed from my signature without them even asking me to remove it myself (which I would have grudgingly done) but because I said that generally some of the people were petty and juvunile for reporting me in the first place (and I have no idea who did it, as that kind of info is kept hush-hush over there) and said that to be afraid of a pagan prayer was laughably pathetic I was apparently rude and flaming to members or groups of members, and also I was causing people to not report things by saying that the people that were offended by my signature were pathetic!
How moronic can you get?!?! But then I can honestly say that I've yet to meet a christian that treats me with the attitude that they expect me to treat them with, so I shouldn't have been surprised by the nasty, elitest attitude displayed there!! Just confirmed what I've suspected all along really... that a lot of American christians are hypocritical, two-faced snakes that wouldn't understand tolerance and loving their neighbour if their pathetic lives depended upon it!!
Oh well... I am glad to be rid of the place... I feel lighter already for not being there. Even concerning the pet I feel as if I've freed him from having to be over there, LOL!!

Why is it so difficult...
... to get others to accept that it's ok to have a different opinion about faith?
I truly cannot see what gives people the right to say that they are right and others are wrong. Surely we can all accept that not everyone has to agree with us about everything concerning religion? Is it too much to ask for others to give out the same level of respect that they feel they deserve?
I just don't understand how some can treat my faith with such distain, yet then expect me to respect their beliefs without even questioning them!! Such hypocrisy and double standards make me sick!
Fortunately it is only online and cannot deeply hurt me like it would in real life... I have many other places to seek genuine inter-faith discourse... places where people actually do wish to hear an opinion that differs from their own!

So beautiful
I've just seen the most wonderful display of fireworks from my bedroom window. The colours and shapes were dazzling and the noise was deafening, but I'm glad that I was able to see them this year... last year they had moved the location on the heath where they let them off and I had no clear line of view (I don't like to go out alone and leave the house empty and the cats alone... the noise scares them and last year there was a series of burglaries in the street next to mine, thieves taking full advantage of the fact that people were out watching the display).
I sat on the window seat in my bedroom and opened the window and just enjoyed the show. I do feel sorry for my poor cats, though... poor things hate the noise, so I shut them snuggly up in the kitchen and put the radio on playing some classical music to try and muffle the sound... sounds silly, but it always works, lol.
As a treat I gave them some fresh fish that I got in town this morning (I had some, too)... a very good day all round, really.
