| Beltane! 2005-05-01 - 6:04 p.m. Sometimes when things in my life seem hectic or my universe is upset by the unpredictable goings-on, I tend to forget important dates. While in chat with Brin last night, I was reminded that today, May 1st, was a very important anniversary for me. It was two years ago today that I self-blessed myself into Paganism. I did it on the Beltane of 2003. So, Happy Beltane for those of you who celebrate it! I remember the evening well. I had Brin on the telephone with me, and she listened as I performed the ritual -- which was simple and beautiful. My religion is something I hold very dear, and is not usually something I bring up in entries or a casual conversation. It's just -- part of me. Sort of like an extra (but much needed) limb. I've never for one moment regretted my decision, and it is something that will be a part of me for the rest of the time I'm fortunate enough to be a guest on this planet. I feel extremely blessed to have this as part of me. --- I never expected it to be so busy at work on a Sunday, but alas -- it was. I manned the deli by myself for the first time, but had someone there in case of an emergency. At one point, I yelled "MAYDAY!" over the intercom. How appropriate was that? ;-) --- April showers bring May flowers huh? Yep. The town square is filled with the most beautiful tulips I've seen in a long while. I'll try to grab a picture soon. --- It was a bit cooler today than it has been, but I'm still wearing shorts. After all, I don't want my pants rubbing up against my tattoo. It was fine the first couple of days, but now it's a little more tender. That is -- only when I touch it. I'm still waiting for the flaking to happen. Eeeeew! --- Okay. I'm done. I need a nap. Five hours of sleep just didn't quite cut it. :-P Have fun!
