HOLIDAY!!!!

Today, August 25, 2011, I declared this day, my personal, inaugural, goddess day.  Today is in celebration of the first day of my moon time.  I'm not one who suffers from severe symptoms, usually, but on that first day, the last thing I want to do is work.  I find it hard to concentrate, I'm somewhat uncoordinated and downright uncomfortable all day, due to sitting in what feels like a wet diaper all day- until today.  Last month, I bought and used a Divacup for the first time.  I had to use a backup plan for leaks...didn't quite get the hang of putting it in right, but this month, so far so good, without the safety net!!!  I must say, at age 38, better late than never, but, my god, where have you been all my life??? It's like a great big conspiracy to make this wonderful, powerful time of our lives, feel like at least, a major inconvenience and hassle, to worst,  a total nightmare.  Not to mention feeling so not fresh from sitting in moisture all day, and the environmental impact of all those pads, tampons and the wasted packaging.  I wish I'd known about this from my first time! 
So anyway, back to my goddess day.  First, I got some spiritual and emotional inspiration from other goddess sisters around the web - goddessguidebook.com, soulspackle.com (blog), rootsofshe.com, these I check daily, and I just discovered wildsister.com today.  After that, I tidied up the abode a bit, then ran out to do some errands.  Getting home ideas have been at the forefront lately, so HomeDepot and the Flooring Center were on the list of go sees.  I didn't really find what I was looking for but, at least I could cross that off my list.  Then I grabbed some lunch and went down by the lake to eat.  The sun was oh so warm and there was a light breeze over the lake.  It was so peaceful...I was the only one there for a few hours.  Then the winds started to pick up alot, as we are expecting the effects of a hurricane passing offshore.  But that made it even more wonderful.  I came to realize how much I LOVE to be in sun, near water.  It reminds me of home.  I thought about the great time we had surfing on my birthday.  We haven't gone back all summer.  I want to enjoy it again.  I also realized how much I miss moving my body. Whether playing sports, working out, or just playing.  I was so athletic as a child.  We were always at the beach.  I looked over the years past and saw how narrowed my world has become, no wonder I feel tight and stressed and trapped like being in a padded room.  That's where they put crazy people.  Or they were sane before, but after being locked in that room, went crazy!  Now I'm home making dinner and writing this post, as thoughts unceasingly whirl round in my head.  For next month, I need to plan the day to make it solely my goddess day.  It was a great day though, unplanned and I got alot of inspiration.  I'm thinking of what plans I'd like to make and what trips I'd like to take.  Putting pen to paper, then soon declaring them in cyberspace to the Universe.  No longer will my days solely be what they turn out to be, I'm gonna start taking control of this skysurfing board to shred space and stars!
