what is the point?

does age make us wiser
does religion make us better

can love heal all hurts
can time heal all wounds

must we forgive to forget
or do we forget to forgive

does joy follow pain
or does pain follow joy

are we absolutely sure
nothing is absolute

can we love what we fear
or fear what we love

happiness is not something you find

outside the inside of your mind

what rages through your soul
a banshees wail or a lovers scream

does it always feel real
or does it really feel always

if you look up and i look down
who is left to look around

who is right
who is wrong

black and white thinking
shadows on the wall

a veil of truth surrounds me
i hide my face in shame

what once was hidden
can now be seen again

It's been a really, really long time since my last confession

Things have been pretty rocky the past six months.  There is a lot of instability where I work and everyone is trying to find some even ground to stand on.  Things have changed for me and I'm hopeful again.

This past weekend was one of the best I've had in a long time.  Troy and I had an easy Saturday, spending money we probably shouldn't have.  But, hey, that income tax refund should be in our account this Friday.  :)

We were so relaxed.  The weather was beautiful beyond description this weekend.  When we were out and about on Saturday, we met so many people who were friendly and smiling.  Seems everyone was happy to have a break from the dreary, cold weather.  We even sold a litter box at PetsMart!  A couple was looking for a litter box and we gave them our *expert* opinion of which one was best.  We really should do an info-mercial and get commission on them!

We went to Barnes & Noble to get me another Nook charger.  Troy has been after me since I got it to get a second charger so I can leave one at work and one at home. Then I don't have to tote one back and forth every day.  The clerk behind the register was so nice and friendly.  She asked about Troy's castle necklace and loved his nature Tao t-shirt.  She thanked us for coming in and said we had such positive energy.  She said it was a nice note to end her night on.

Troy says when I'm happy I glow.  I definitely felt like I was glowing Saturday.  I have hope again for my job.  I spent the whole day relaxing and having a good time with my best friend and soul mate.  The weather was beautiful with a slight breeze.  Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the wind.

Hope you are doing well.  Peace.
