Shiny things

Believe it or not, after 7 years of blogging it all out loud, ranting and raging and spitting into the wind, I am jest about talk-ed out.

That's right you heard me.... talk-ed out!

I deleted the old blog in a moment of unclear on the concept, but this one is going to stick around.
Likely I will start posting about my beloved shinies.
The things I cannot change continue on. New day, same old shit, and being shit I need to flush it.

I can't change the world, only my own mind. I try to be kind every day and share joy.
I live in hope that all the good people are doing likewise and better, and thus the world is improved. Actions are imperative. Talk is cheap.

So - shiny things! Let's hear it for Shiny Things.
Shiny, glittery, loverly things.

Todays shiny thing is the curtain on my wall. I have no idea what the symbol means.
But its cool.
My thinking regarding symbols is that they mean whatever you imbue them with.

Expect happiness

I do.
I always greet the day with confidence and surety.
God is still Sovereign. The world is still here.
Amazing, all things considered.

Not everyone thinks this way.
I have found out that in some cases to expect nothing is correct.

I just cannot be that way.
I always expect a miracle.
There is always a blessing in there somewhere. Always.

Nighttime is my nemesis.

I am good for around 13 hours or so, afterwhich the slow decline begins.
Around the 15-16 hour mark its definitly check out time.
And I go to bed questioning man's humanity and whether my reality is your reality.
Frequently I awaken two or three times in the night from dreams dark and deep.

And then, magically, it is morning.
Hope springs eternal. I am happy to be alive.
I expect happiness and miracles.

but now... it is night. And I expect nothing at all.
Happy big night! whee!
