Oh Deer!

This month's Happiness Project is much easier.  For August I'm doing Spirituality.  Literally taking action if you want to call it that.  The four things I'm trying to do every day are:  have some quiet time, do a reading, pray and read a self-help book.  I have a few self-help books so I don't think I'll run out for awhile.  I'm currently reading Earth Magic by Steven D. Farmer.  It's pretty good if a little bit out there. I know, I know, I'm the one taking Shamanism!  A friend of mine once said "If you keep an open mind, people will throw junk in it."  I don't subscribe to that attitude. I took some pictures of the deer in my front yard yesterday.  Here is one:

Class registration is starting.  I'm going to take the I-Ching year-long course if its offered and Runes 5.  I haven't yet registered.  I'm going to wait a little bit.  I know, I should be taking proper classes, not just Divination, but with my independent study Interfaith and the Shamanism stuff, there's no way. Of course the degrees offered at Nature U. are a little different than when they were first offered!  Dean Dharma has added credits needed and a Master's Thesis to all the programs.  Still not sure how all that will effect my degree progress. Low tide is at 3:56pm tomorrow.  Now, why is that relevant?  You'll see!

The Parable of the Busy Student

I just spent a week going to Vacation Bible School for adults at my church.  We did some creative stuff and learned about the Parables.  I even wrote one of my own! I went with my mom and sat next to Reggie.  Some of the stuff we did was really stupid.  We sang songs.

I saw Snow Dogs on Friday, that was a silly and funny movie. I made brownies yesterday with walnuts and chocolate chips. 

As far as school goes I turned in my 3rd craft/writing proposal for Prehistory. Ancient Rites will have me busy this month and the next as we are finishing up our first year.  Papers to write, journeys to take! :)

I just finished my first month of my personal Happiness Project.  July's focus was Energy.  I don't know if I have more energy, but I'm a little more happy.  The four things I did and will continue with were: Getting to bed before midnight, taking a nap, exercising, and tackling a nagging task.  Not that I did all four every day! For August I'm doing Spirituality.  We'll see how that goes...
