May Garden, Days of Prayer

-
May is such a full month. Mary's Month, May Day with Flowers, May Day with Protest Marches, National Day of Prayer, parades, "mayday parade music" Mayday Parades (Traditional)....LOL......

 May Day OLD Days?- (Proto-? Reimagined I believe) I've created May Pole Dance with little ones before I was confronted by people about it'd pagan "fertility" roots that many objected to..... I'm still not convinced of it's evil BTW. The above link goes to a May Day Songs site I've found useful for my own amusement. Very much a fantastical collection of both historical and imagined connections to proto-european traditions (both well documented and 'rediscovered' in the current century). I find it a good jumping off point for my imaginations and writing.

 Catholic May Traditional is very diverse as well.  Link is to a list of Daily Dedications for the Month - Found that today is Jesus  Christus, Deus homo (Jesus Christ, God man.).

 Mayday Parade (A GROUP would you believe? ) This old woman had never heard of them.
"Ill borrow words from my favorite paragraphs" - That drew my attention, since I am working on writing more. Followed by a repeated round of;  "Ill be OK, Is That what you want me to say? Cause it's broken, ... "
"I thought we could sit around for hours talking about...." was the bookends to the piece. Overall, good. I very much liked the rhythm. - The Last Something That Meant Anything, but as usual, had trouble parsing lyrics.

The Day sometimes moves so quickly............
Tonight is BRIDGE ! Tomorrow Breakfast / Brunch with a friend AND Caregivers group!

I carry my H2O bottle on a lanyard I aquired a couple (3?) years ago.... LOL... BURIEN BITES!


Not much of a Garden at Fyhrie Garden yet, but, well, it is a nice place for retreating for me. :-)







**QUOTE: **

"Jesus Christus, Deus homo" Jesus Christ, God man. This is one of the ‘mighty works of God,' which we should reflect upon and thank him for. He has come to bring ‘peace on earth to men of good will,' to all who want to unite their wills to the holy will of God -- not just the rich, not just the poor, but everyone: all the brethren. We are all brothers in Jesus, children of God, brothers of Christ. His mother is our mother ."

All Saints day. FIRST DAY OF NANOWRIMO National Novel Writing Month Begins... Please support all the would be, aspirational, delusional, methodical, random, enthusiastic novelists and archivists who attempt to (and sometimes succeed) in documenting 50,000 words (or more!) in November.  THANK YOU to 31 Days!   I had a struggle to write daily, my not planning anything particular was a definite issue. I have much to learn about how a Blog works, how to make it work well, and how to ... probably things I do not know I need to know yet. I found new people to read this month. http://mjsmentalmusings.wordpress.com/ http://scrapper123.blogspot.com/ http://amaliagoleanu.blogspot.com/ ALL SAINTS DAY   HOLY CARD DATA REGARDING - Here.

St. Bruno-------October 6

6th of October I enjoyed learning about Blessed Raymond yesterday. Thought I would tell story about Saint Bruno today then and see if he is as interesting to know. I am not thinking of much to tell about me. and feel like just zoning out on an Inspector Morse episode. AM Monday waking up with radio as usual. Readings and christian commentary on the news. Now though, looking carefully at my to-do list and hoping to move forward on it. A lovely pile of reminder papers on my desk. **Story**** I should be doing other things, so, I will give you the story of St. Bruno of Cologne as I figured it out. He was another administrator, behind the scenes person, and prefered a solitary contemplative life. Bruno of Cologne (c. 1030 – 6 October 1101), the founder of the Carthusian Order, personally founded the order's first two communities. Because of the "customs" involved within  Carthusian practice , Bruno was never officially canonised. Bruno is the patron of Calabria an

Hurting Feet and 32 years of Blessings

FYI: Just a couple days a week posts will be a more doable goal I think. Sunday or Monday & 'mid-week,' Nevertheless,  here is a composite post. re: Tiredness & some more about my history. So, I DO KNOW when to quit working. I decide, remind myself to care for my health, then 10 minutes (OK 30) later, I'm still standing here on hurting feet, squinting now (took glasses off when I told myself to stop earlier). Y, I walked away & took a break, lay down for a 15 minute rest that turned into an hour and a half nap. Tom does Not approve of Camera.  I feel so much better after a rest, yet I am still upset somehow that I need it. (It is Extra isn't it? to Nap is to be weak maybe?)  It's been, .. UM let's see, 1985, that would be.... 32!  32 years I've been 'only' tired.  Before they removed the tumour, I got to be tired with nausea and dizzy spells and seizures and mood swings. (OK so maybe the mood swings didn't entirely go away,
