Now that it seems all the drama over here has died down it’s time to start blogging again.  The insane week at work is over and now that things there are quieting down… well I’m not exhausted anymore and can find the time for this again.

So, a bunch of things to talk about…

The Crown…. is not going away.  Thanks to a wonderful patron who has asked to be anonymous, it will live on.  Neither Prad or I ever wanted the Crown to be a place where those who came to enjoy it would be constantly pumping the customers for tips.  Because of that we’ve basically paid for the place out of our own pockets.  It never mattered how busy the place was, we just never pushed for donations.  With both Prad and I busy these days the running of the place has fallen on Skittles and she does an amazing job!!  I’m hoping that in the coming months you’ll see a lot going on over there.

Rein…. Yes, Rein and I split up.  Yes, it was his idea to do so.  Some who may read this blog will probably smile at this with an I told you so and revel in my misfortune and hurt.  So be it.  There will always be those who do that.  It’s been over a week since he and I broke up and there has been a lot of hurt on both sides and at least on my side, a lot of tears.  I’ve lost someone who first and foremost was a friend and that I will mourn.  Anything else is personal between he and I and will stay that way.

Midian… Midian is in chaos because of Damian’s death.  It’s going to be a long week but I hope it spurs some good changes and roleplay and gets everyone thinking well of the city again.  There has been lots of OOC drama over the last few months.  Hopefully this new sim wide plot will pull the city back together. 

Angel Square… A few open plots of land are up for sale/rent.  IM me in world if interested.

Catwalkers…. We have new kittens and we are pulling together to deal with the cities latest crisis.  As always, cats land on their feet.  It’ll be  a difficult time but we’ll come out on the other side better than we were.

It’s a short post I know, but it’s just a quick update.  More to come later….

Have a brilliant day everyone!

In a previous post I commented that I was going to RP mass at St Michaels in Midian on Sunday.  Unfortunately a plumbing emergency made me miss the last half of mass but I was still able to participate in the majority of it.

I may not post often during mass but that doesn’t mean I’m not paying attention, letting Eamon’s words sink in.  I’m not a big flowery poster.  I don’t always emote everything I’m thinking or feeling.  It’s just not my way.  But one thing that has come up in the past few days is a question of faith.

Faith to me is a blind acceptance of something that can’t be proven.  I question everything normally.  What I don’t question though is my faith in my friends and my faith in some higher power that is looking out for all of us.  My friends have proved time and again that they are there for me.  We may not always agree, we may fight but in the end we will make up and move on, a closer better relationship because of it.

There are a couple of old sayings, “Whenever God closes a door he opens a window” and “You never get thrown more than you can handle”.  I truly believe these.  My life has changed dramatically in the last 6 – 7 months.  Have the circumstances in my real life changed how I look at things and my reactions?  In a word, yes.  How can they not.

I was in a relationship for months that ended badly.  I don’t dispute that.  I won’t even dispute that I hold some responsibility for that.  Did I love him?  Yes.  Did I give up eventually?  Yes.  Am I proud of that?  No, but you reach a point where it’s just simply time to let it go and move on.  I did.  That was months ago.  Why it has all come up again in the last couple of weeks I don’t know but it has.  Now we all get to relive it.  I’d prefer not to.  I was there the first time.

It’s time to move on and put the past behind me. 

It’s time to have Faith that what lies ahead is better than what lies behind.

It’s time to have Faith  in myself.

Happy Groundhog Day y’all, and here’s to another 6 weeks of winter.  Groan.
