Tick, tick bloggers.
Well,one week from today is the big day. The biggest birthday party ever will be next Thursday. That is of course the way I was raised. Jesus birthday.
I have tried to follow along with the new findings, etc of Jesus being born on a different day, different land, the inn was actually opened, etc.etc. But, I do not listen too well. We each have our own opinions, but that is something we can hold onto, our own beliefs. They can take away everything else but our beliefs.
Now on the other hand is the story of Saint Nick or Santa. Again, I was raised to believe in Santa, of course I was heart broken when I found out the truth. Kind of like finding out those Snipe birds I was sent out in the dark to look for forty years do not exist. Yes, I can still see my cousin and I hunched over holding a feed sack open, calling loudly "Hew", "Hew", waiting while my big brother went to shine his flashlight in the bushes to hurry the birds into our bags. We begged for those birds to scurry into our dirty feed bags. Not one Snipe bird ever ran into our bags. Now that I think of it, what the heck would we have done with those birds anyway!
So, finding out that Snipe birds do not exist in Oklahoma was kind of like finding out about Santa's existence. My brother still laughs to this day about the hunting for Snipe adventure he took my cousin and I on. So funny, I forgot to laugh.
Today for my journey goals, I have an appointment with a friend of mine whose neighbor is the head librarian at a local library that would like to schedule a book signing. I have also checked with one of my charities I donate to, to see about their upcoming 2010 calender events. My appointment book is growing but I always have time for that appointment in New York or time for Oprah, Rachael Ray, Tyler Perry, Ellen or Martha! I will not say no to anyone.
On the countdown bloggers.
