If I am to level with you, I would like to use a laser...
Went to the movies and saw “The Incredibles”. What a fantastic film. I’ve got to hand it to Pixar; they really know how to make any topic accessible. I also got two crazy deals at “Ganahl Lumber”. (http://www.ganahl.com/specials.htm) One is the Black and Decker Rotary tool with great big toolbox and 150 bits for 30 bucks!!!!! Also I purchased a laser level that projects laser lines on any surface (not dots- lines!) for 10 bucks! Yahoo!!!!
Such a good day, I have started designing Christmas presents. Like many others out there, we will be tapped out for Christmas- so I am crafting some wood clocks and ornaments to give as gifts. Hopefully I haven’t started too late. Should take a few days of solid work for the clocks - and I’ll need 4 of them. The ornaments will very on time by the detail and themes but I only need 2 of those. The one pagan virtue I allow myself as a Christian is the belief that crafting something by hand gives it certain magic. I believe you can put love into an object, positive energy of sorts. I believe some things can give you such a good vibe that they are good luck.
Also one of my friends showed me how to do a full brake tune-up. We removed the rotors and brake pads and will be taking them in to be machined. It was pretty cool to work on a car again- I used to work on my car a lot back in High School when I had an old 69 Ford Mustang.
Then his wife who is like my little sister made us dinner that was awesome and actually good for you at the some time… Geeze I have good day overload.
The top of the day however was really the time I got to spend with my friend alone when we talked a bit about philosophy and life. I have been thinking (what’s new?) that maybe I need some goal in my life. I mean I have almost zero stress with my support group in my life- and even though some things have happened to lately- (my step-mother is gravely ill and I haven’t really been able, or brave enough, to call my Dad to see how things are going for almost two weeks, and my accident, and my job) I have felt like I am so blessed. It’s like even when I feel very depressed there is a small voice inside of me saying -
“Now that’s emotion! Thank your lucky stars you get to be this sad, because it means you were really happy!”
That voice is right. Next time you feel horrible stop and think about how great a thing you had that it’s loss is so tremendous and then remember that some never taste true love, friendship and family, some never get to the table to win or lose. Then take note that if you’ve been there once - you can get there again- because you know its there. There can be no doubt once you have been there, so all that remains is pulling yourself together and taking the steps again.
C.S. Lewis towards the end of his life would have put it something like:
“Thank God for my pain. Less it redeem my soul and flavor my character.” That’s not verbatim but it’s close to how he explains it. Time for bed…
