Life is such a teacher isn't it? Here I set out to write a book, knowing I would learn new things along the way, but I had no idea the learning would start immediately lol. It's ok though, I rose to the occasion and have come out on the other side.
I finally completed my post on "True Love" in the Fire Element. I had started it back in November but found my life took a turn immediately after that taught me some helpful information I was able to include in that post. Since I haven't yet set a completion date for this, I am not delayed (there is one way to look at it right?) I am right on track! It felt good to get this done today, I spent a good 5 hours on it. Now onto the next post in the "Water" element titled "Never Loose Your Cool." I had started several posts last fall and had them in queue in various stages of completion. I just thought this particular topic would be a good one fore me to do next as I have recently had some personal experience with this principal. I prefer to walk away from a heated or escalating situation because I don't like confrontation. Although, there are some individuals who prefer to escalate and aggravate a person, by means that is defined as "Provoking to Assault" and it is actually a crime. Just as is not allowing someone to leave an argument or a heated situation where violence or abuse may occur. I never understood why someone would do that purposely, but then I never really understood bullies who pick fights with smaller kids. I guess the mentality is similar?
On a different note, yesterday was St. Patrick's Day. I hope everyone had safe fun out there. Not sure how much fun can be had on a Sunday night but I'm sure there were those who found ways to be jolly on the American made Irish Themed Holiday lol. Any Irish descent person who doesn't know that about his/her own Irish history is slacking!!! Read up on it folks, it was really made here in the US. But it's another good reason for the drinkers to drink right? I wonder how long that river in Chicago will stay green this year :-)
I come of Irish Descent on my paternal grandfather's side, from the southern part of Ireland which was home to many Black Irish. I have my family crest around here somewhere in my image archives and my family has their own way of celebrating St. Patrick's. On March 17, 1983 my father passed away. We had a wake instead of a funeral, and every year it seems to be the reason why the drinkers in our family toast to his life, when his life was lost because of what years of drinking and using drugs did to him. There is some irony for ya right? By the way, I went to church then came home and stayed home lol. I spent a bunch of time in the kitchen, and relaxed sober. That was my toast to my father and I hope he is proud that I have not allowed his fate to become my own. I am the maker of my own path and the consequences I suffer/experience are of my own making. Some are good, some are not, but I own them and continue to be grateful for the freedom to choose for myself and not allow myself to become a product of my past.
