Bonjour again and le fin

-
French class 1 is over. I received in the mail today some great post cards and presents and a huge lovely map of Paris, which I plan on framing. I woke early with a bad migraine,took meds,went back to bed till my French final. I went and took it and thought I tanked,but turns out 85.5 on it,,which for me in this class is huge. I end the semester with two B's ,which again for me,,not good, usually one B
and an A, but my other class, I was lucky to not fall asleep. My French prof tho was amazing. She kept us moving,interacting,speaking and learning. Im sad for fall semester I am not taking French II, it will sadly have to wait for spring term. I enjoy leaning and hope now that I can parle une peu francais that once again I could revisit France. Ive been to Paris, so maybe this time meet my new French friend in her home town of Morbihan.

Im looking forward to a few weeks off from school. We start back up in 3rd week of August. I hope to finish my book and get ready for Market im working in October. I also have high hopes of catching up on housework and possible doing some writing. Hoping to make the writers meeting this weekend and get some more photos up in a cafe for sale :D

Summer here in Georgia has been good. I love having 8 week classes instead of 16 weeks. Sometimes those last 4 or so seem to dragggggg out. I know in the long wrong having my degree will so be worth it. In the meantime im applying for jobs all over with no luck and hoping congress carries over unemplyment in Dec to Jan and onward. More stress in life I just dont need.

So what things have you done this summer? Did you treat the kids to a pool day and ice cream? Have you done any travelling? I need to live through you all, I just go to school. hehehehe Ive been dealing with my ex father in law still in a long term hospital place. He seems to be having more bad mental days then good. One day he is 94 ,,next 73, *which he really is*, then the next day 63 and hearing things. Please,,if you pray , keep us in your prayers. I love him like I would a dad. Since I never had one,he is it!! Hate seeing him like this and he knows he isnt right and gets so frustrated.

Well we will end on a happy note... Two B's..summer term done and after a bad wicked migraine all day,, after bedrest and meds,,im alive and actually drank some water :) Ill take it!!

Hope to hear from you soon,,,Bonsoir!
Debbie

Mother's Day and the Sh*t show it will become. I AM READY!

                                             Mother's Day is coming in hot and my mother died.  This will be the first Mother's Day without her. My sister has plans that day, and I do not, but our hearts will be on Mom no matter what we do. There is no running away from grief.  Grief will fill our minds, and our hearts, and keep us focused on her passing away. Our minds will wander to her and wonder where she is in this vast universe. We will think of the last time we saw her, hugged, her, and talked with her. Grief will bring us back to her last breath. We will try to move on, move past, but you know what I have found out, that is BS. We all have our own grief walk to take. We all have our own correct path to move forward. I have thought about joining a grief support group and then thought perhaps not. I am not so sure I could listen to others...

Wandering Soul

I find myself recently thinking of traveling again. I love the newness of a place. I get bored with the old. I like learning new about new cultures and making new friends. I have one more year of college and then I am open to moving anywhere. I would love a job with writing of course as I am an English major, but I do not limit myself to that. I open my heart and soul to wandering. I think if we stay around the same people too much we disappoint them. They are bound to get tired of us, or us them, at some point. Ive recently realize if we attach to someone, some place, or something we will eventually get hurt. Everything that has a beginning has an end. All relationships start and end. All our time in a place starts and ends. Nothing lasts forever. Buddhists say if you do not get attached to anything or anyone you will not be hurt. Easier said then done. Pfft! I always thought my lack of attachment to people or places was a bad thing. If we go with the Buddhist's way then I am ...

Love, Friendship, and the Sh*t we take because of it.

I have long known I am an empathetic person. I have always felt other peoples emotions deeply. Sometimes I wish I could turn it off, but recently I realized how much of a gift it is. I can hurt with them, I can share in the highs, I can be there fully for those who need me. I think it is a gift really. I might not always understand what the person has gone through, but I listen and feel the hurt down to my soul. It shakes me to my core and allows me to empathize with the person. This empathy is dangerous to me and my own happiness. While I feel other peoples emotions so deeply,I notice I feel mine even more. With every good or bad thing that happens I realize how much it resonates with my soul. It takes a tole on my body sometimes and that is not good. The definition of an empathic is this: of, relating to, or characterized by empathy , the psychological identification with the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of others: a sensitive, empathetic school couns...
