Good News
I'm completely finished with New Testament class! All I'm waiting for is my final grade, then I can sign up for another class. My best friend, Star, has just started taking classes in computers, online. I'm so proud of her! Tonight I finished revising all 24 Rune Poems. Yay! I'm planning on self-publishing a book of Rune Poems. I still have more work to do on it. I've made major headway.

The Road More Traveled
Still crafting like mad. I am embroidering a geometric flower pattern onto a $2 tote bag. Embroidery is an inexpensive hobby compared to crochet. Well, actually I used the transfer twice and one of the smaller versions of the flower on it too. It's turning out to be more work than I thought it would be. I had a crafternoon today, just doing the outline for most of the afternoon.
I'm under some stress. I realized I want to be a counselor. I'll have to start as a peer counselor, if I can get into that program. I will talk to my job counselor this week. I printed out salary lists by city from the department of labor for the Employment Support Group, here, Olympia, Seattle area, Tri-Cities. I thought at first I'd work 20 hours a week and ease into working full-time. Now I'm wondering if I could have an actual career. I've only worked sporadically since college because of my mental illness, which I've had loads of trouble with. The past 10 years have been OK, and recently I've been doing a lot better mood-wise. A lot better!
So that's what I've been mulling over. I know working will affect my schoolwork, but we'll cross that bridge later. I mean, I haven't been doing much classwork lately anyway. My radio is telling me the news, on the hour. Not that I'm interested. It's mostly bad news. I'm not into the news, it just angers me. Lies, more lies, and the liars who tell them. Geez! Tomorrow I'm going to church and then we have our adult youth group that evening. I'm bringing sandwich fixings. I have to call everyone and tell them there's a meeting. Well, all for now! bye

Revelation, Meditation and the News
I made chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight, homemade. No one's sick, exactly. I'm still in shock over my friend, Star, and her revelation. I'm just glad she's getting help for her addiction problem. That shows real spirit and courage, which she has in spades. I guess I'm not handling it too well, though. I worry about her enough as it is. I worry about the people I love, I can't help it. Especially the ones with health problems.
Today I did a chanting meditation for Ancient Rites. We were supposed to chant a word like, "OM", except related to Norse Mythology. That was a real eye-opener. Instead of thinking about the past or the future or things I couldn't control I was pulled right into the present moment. I realized that instead of waiting for the perfect moment, to do anything, the moment is now. In other words if I want to do something or share something or say something, the moment is now. It is so good for me to stop and just smell the incense. LOL! Like smelling the roses! Then I wrote it up and submitted it to the boards.
My brother, Jed, came over and we talked and ate veggies. He mostly just played on the computer, looking at news sites. I get enough news just with Yahoo news and reading the occasional article. I'm glad I don't have TV. TV news is horrible, all negativity. I don't need that in my life. I'm really trying to be a more positive person. I look through faintly rose-colored glasses. Literally! That's all for now. Have a good night anyone who's reading this.
