Adventures in Paganism

 Been pursuing a enlightened lifestyle lately. Don’t know if it’s turning out quite the I want it to be. But better then not trying something new. Been meditating quite a bit, listening to books on tape on my way to work about paganism and history of the Druid’s. 

Celebrated Belane the best we could. Lit a candle and had steak and potatoes. 

That’s all I got for now…

Meditations and such

Today was hard, just myself and the kids.one would thing or shouldn’t be to hard, but it was raining. Kids wanted to go to the playground s. We coloured and watched a plethora of Disney cartoons... but still.

I should mention,  not the whole day, just towards the end. Meditation in a Dead Sea salt/Himalayan pink salt bath. Seems to be helping. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Meditations and reminders

Have been making a conscious effort to meditate everyday and also to take time out of my day to think about the positive things in my life in an attempt to live a more less negative lifestyle.

Was laid off work cause of the COVID-19 pandemic but returning July 6th.
Looking forward to getting to back to “normal”. Had time to reflect and rethink my priorities going forward. Hope to post more soon: Namaste 

Serenity

Something about being awake before everyone, it’s quiet in here. With the wife, two kids... yes two now, and the two dogs, it gets a little hairy around here. Trying to change my mind set as a

Person can lose their shit pretty quick when a toddler or infant is scream crying less than a foot from your face... it’s not their fault it’s their only source of communication. It’s a uphill battle, but it’s one I will win...

Guided meditations  seem to help out allot lately, glad I found them when I did. And the Noble eightfold path. Found that when I was giving Buddhism a read... err should I say a listen (books on tape). Realizing anger and anxiety is no way to live, that too is a uphill battle, but it’s one I will win. Was searching for a way past my thoughts of negativity and anger. 

So far so good, just have to keep reminding myself to follow the path as much as one can. Some things are harder to follow than others... but that’s the way she goes sometimes. 

Anyway, sayonara 

Partial eclipse

Decided to try and taken the partial eclipse. Can't actually look straight into the sun cause it'll ruin your eyesight... but it's definitely not as bright out as it should be for 10:21am. Not suppose to look at the sun directly so I didn't... sorta, I took a quick glance. The picture doesn't do any justice but it doesn't capture it very well...

It's definitely not as bright as it's suppose to be at 10:27am. Been BC a bit of a space geek it's a pretty sweet site to see a solar eclipse.

The morning of August 21st, 2017

What's on my mind this morning... get up, drive phe to daycare, come home. Take the dogs for their morning walk and what do I get to hear... a domestic dispute, or a man yelling at his partner. F-bombs flying around like its a mechanic shop off Route 66. 

All before 7:30am. Let's see what the rest of the day has in store...

A new journey

Found out yesterday that our unborn child will be another girl. I had somehow known... err I mean in my mind mind I sort of wanted a girl. I do better with girls then boys. Not saying that I didn't want a boy or girl

just  the same. Going to love her no more or less if she was a boy. 

Now the name game begins, I had picked a few boy names out a few weeks past cause Leah was sure it was a boy. Liem, Noel, or Alexander but I guess they are null now. 

Last night as I lay awake after Ophelia woke up for a minute, my mind wandered into baby name territory. I came up with Catherine or Maya, I still like Isabella, or my grandmas name Julianna. Anyways, got some time before anything is decided.
