Holidays are difficult when you are on your own. Sabbats are often the time I wish that I had a coven to share my celebrations with. Or even a big family.
My family is small, and we all work full time. There are no kids, so we seem to just get together when we can. It tends to leave a hole. Not just at the Sabbats, but on secular holidays as well.
And being sick doesn't help things either. I feel like I am being lazy by sleeping and only working on things that don't require me to move from the couch. Though, one of the reasons I hate being sick in the first place is that it makes me feel like I am incredibly lazy and missing out on other things I could be doing.
It occurs to me now that this might be part of the reason that I end up sick so often.
But, I digress. This post isn't a pity party. For some reason, my mind just won't let me be in a bad mood for too long (this has issues all its own), and the general feeling of a cloudy, cool, barely well Beltane weekend has inspired me. I have this little voice that says, 'Well, if you don't like it, fix it.'
So, I'm going to. Today, while I wait for WD to wake up and take me out to do my errands, I am going to spend my time switching between cleaning, and writing out list of Beltane celebrations, poems, crafts, foods, etc for my BOS. I figure if I am going to save up for one of those big, fancy tomes, then I'd best have some good stuff to put in it.
