The outlook for this weekend: surprisingly festive.
Tomorrow evening, I will be going to the winter solstice service at the local Unitarian Church. It’s one of my favorite annual activities… always beautiful with soft chant-like hymns and candlelight.
Before the service, a few friends and I will be enjoying an early dinner, and then off we go to explore the more pagan-esque side of our spirituality.
Sunday: Grandma’s birthday with a side of Christmas shopping. I also have to fit in some work both Saturday morning and sometime Sunday afternoon. No rest for the destitute!
Again, I grumble over the ridiculous notion that money can’t buy happiness. I would LOVE to test that nonsensical theory.
Poverty creates stress, anxiety and depression. Not ever again having to worry about how the bills will be paid would lift such a huge burden from one’s shoulders! The freedom and calm that that alone would instill would be unbelievable! How could one NOT be happier under such conditions??!
But apparently I digress with logic.
I am back to the salt mines for a short time before I can finally enjoy a few hours of rest.
Have a wonderful weekend all, and remember me on your Christmas lists… cash is accepted… and I do have paypal.
