A third journal of personal musings |
 My life always continues to change and it only stands to reason that with each change, there should be a journal dedicated to it. |
  Prompt:October. Halloween. Autumn. Has anything happen strange happen to you this month? Write about this in your Blog entry today.  This year? No. Busy and Chaotic? Yes. In general? Once, when I was a kid in middle school. I've always been pretty mature for my age. I always seemed to enjoy the conversation of adults over kids my own age. Not that I didn't also have friends my age, because I did. Though I didn't have super connections to kids my age, except for two neighbor girls I grew up with that I now consider to be my sisters. Anyway. I didn't have flights of fancy as they say even though I have always had a super creative mind and could easily think of ideas for stories. I was in 4th or 5th grade I think and it was Friday the 13th. I don't believe in that kind of stuff. I'll walk under a ladder and have a hoard of black cats (voids are my weakness), and toss a mirror on the ground. BUT, this Friday the 13th was a rainy and cold day and I was already frustrated because I thought I'd lost my house keys. I was home alone and this wasn't new, at this point after school I was for a couple of hours until my dad got home. I was on the stoop, putting my house keys in the knob when I felt something hit my shoulder and out of the corner of my eye it looked like a giant bug, like a beetle or something with a hard shell. It FREAKED me out. I jumped back off the small stoop and realized that it was the wooden handle of my dad's snow shovel. How it fell? I don't know. I just remember that everything felt so weird about the whole situation and realizing after that it was FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH and did that mean anything?? Made me question my whole life. I was fine and once I was warm and comfy inside my house, I laughed at it. But it's funny how just one thing being off can just make you question your whole reality sometimes! |
Prompt: Feeling Happy “Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” - Marcel Proust What are your thoughts about this prompt and/or what makes you feel happier, people or some other things? There are a few people who make me happy. I'm mostly an introvert and so I tend to have a very small inner circle. I tend to have a "social meter" and I can feel drained and tired if my meter has been drained. But! Mathew is one of them. He constantly makes me laugh and makes me feel good about myself. After twenty and a half years with him, it's one of the constants in my life that makes my life better. I have members of my family that make me happy to be around also. I don't get to see them as much, due to living in a different state, but whenever we get together, I feel a comfort just by being around them. Mostly, animals make me happy. Pets probably more specifically, since I can often touch them lol But, my two boys made me happy, because they'd greet me when I'd get home, snuggle with me, sleep with me. Y'know, pet things. My new kittens, two girls, make me happy too. They've helped me get through my grief of losing my boys, while also making me laugh because of their kitten hijinx. Reading is another one. Which, for probably a lot of people here, is probably a popular thing that makes them happy. Being creative is another. It's something where it's the act of doing it that makes me happy and then if I can give them away, also makes me happy. Like right now, I love to crochet and then be able to give those away to people. I get to practice and do the art of it, then I can gift them to people. I make digital pet portraits and those I do specifically for people. It's also something fun and relaxing for me to do. |
