My Sustainable Home
For anyone who knows me, I tend to be passionate about varying subjects that affect my life, the lives of my family, the lives of my community and countrymen.
Lately, I have noticed some changes within the fabric of society that has made me pause. No, I have been feeling this for quite a while but it has taken many different forms within me. First was anger. Then denial. Now, finally, acceptance.
My focus has shifted to my family, for both our physical and spiritual well-being. I am VERY thankful for my husband. If we never saw another human being we would be happy. I am thankful for my son, though he is a teenager and insists he must act like one occasionally. And I am thankful for my character of a step-daughter, though we are not able to be with her as much as we would like. My mom lives close by and it's wonderful to have an adult relationship with her. I have two sisters, one who lives in another town and one who is living in another state. That makes it difficult to maintain a relationship but we are still close. My dad, step-mom, and brothers live in another state also, moving there from Mexico a number of years ago. It's funny how alike my dad and I are. We never communicate, assuming the other knows how much we love them! LOL! I met up with three of my brothers on My Space, of all places!
Then, there are my in-laws. They, and the entire family, are the nicest group of people you will ever meet! They welcomed me into the family without blinking an eye, and are close like I always wanted my family to be...like we used to be before the elders passed on. I pray what happened to both sides of my family does not happen to my husband's family.
My life has been quite a rollercoaster, most of the time with me trying to figure out where in this world I belonged. Major highs and lows, too many religions to list, so many mistakes that I pray I learned from them all. I hope I have helped more people than I have hurt.
Now that I am leaving my 30s, I feel like I finally have a wonderful balance in my life. My spiritual life finally exceeds all my expectations. My biggest obstacle right now is my impatience for those things that we will be purchasing (a house, a second vehicle). Once I make up my mind to do something, I want it NOW! So, I am doing my best to work through this impatience by keeping as busy as possible. That's where the redesign of this site comes in.
It's pretty bad when you read your own writings and say, "Oh, please!" We are who we are, wherever we live, and the most we can do is make the best of it by whatever means we can. I do my part by voting and actively participating in the first amendment of the United States (free speech) with my elected officials. I'm sure, thanks to all my communications through the years that I am on a number of watch lists. I like to remind them that they are supposed to be working for me, not the other way around. :) I have removed my politics page from my site because...why have it? If I am especially proud of a response sent to officials or passionate about an issue, I will just post it to my blog(s) (I have two, because many of my friends are on Blogspot. They are both exactly the same). I also removed my homeschooling page since my son has been attending public school for almost a year. I can't see having a web page that will never be updated.
And to prove that I truly do like having some fun, check this out:
