And speaking of prisms...

I made that one and it's hanging in my bedroom window right now. I've got a lot on my mind and I keep remembering stuff. Like the story about this mr. moon. I still have all the tools and lots of glass and i hope to make more stained glass one of these days. But it takes time. And my hands have been pretty shaky this past few years. This is actually the second of this pattern I made. I loved the first one so much I had to have a mini version just for myself. The first one the glass was slightly different, it was about four times as large, filled the window and was absolutely beautiful.... if I may say...

I made the big one probably 8 or 9 years ago now, as a gift for a girl I thought was my best friend. She collects all things celestial and she loved it (and every time I went to her house to hang out, I loved it more too *grin*). Sometime later, I had many times to be thankful for her friendship as she snuck me popsicles in the hospital, and washed my hair.... But the truth was, at that very same time she was plotting and planning one of the worst betrayals of my life - which I found out about not too many days after I was released home via ambulance and before my wounds were even healed... She's a large part of the reason the only "family" I have live in Chile and struggle every day and why I'm not watchin' the grandson of my heart grow up. If my boy had stayed here... well... he'd most likely be done with graduate school and livin' a different kind of life. ::sigh::

So now it is what it is, but I was thinkin' about it today as I looked at that moon and it takes some kinda balls (or lack thereof) to betray somebody in such a mean and hurtful way - while talkin' honey to their face. Specially when the person bein' betrayed can't even hold their own popsicle... Just sayin'. She very well could be reading this blog right this minute. Matter of fact, it's very likely she is. In secret. So if she is, she knows what she did and I'm not gonna be the one to judge her... but I want my big, gorgeous moon BACK! Dammit.

Sounds like you are planning your retirement days. Or at least planning on feeling better and more energetic soon. Looking ahead is good. Always remember that while her behavior had an effect on you, it wasn't about you. You could be grateful for the care she offered you-she could have been a bitch both to your face and behind your back!

Hate just eats you up. Make yourself a giant stained glass piece of something YOU are into. One that just kicks butt!

Hey my word is "spell"

Take care.
