Maybe the Jehova's Witnesses have something right - no holidays might be a good thing.

Well thank the Goddess that that weekend is over! Phew, I made it through. No muss, no fuss. In fact little notice at all, by anyone. Lesson for this weekend: Don't anticipate and/or expect anything and you won't be disappointed.

I do have to say that there were 4 people who actually went out of their way to make me feel a little special and to them I am in full gratitude. There were a handful of others, from the far reaches of my life, that somehow remembered that the date had significance to me and were well wishers...this surprised me and made me feel good - thank you to all of you.

To the people who are very close to me yet let the day go by virtually unnoticed, you know I forgive you - my love for you is unconditional and no matter how you hurt me, I will never stop loving you. And for those of you who, for other reasons, should have at least said something, fuck you - I will remember - being on my bad side when I have no love for you is definitely not a good thing. I know I should be a bigger person and let it go, but when you are slapped in the face over and over, it becomes a challenge to make the slapper begin paying the piper - and, oh, am I good at that. Think of it as Karma. Lesson for you to learn.

Anyway, it's done. Now I continue. It's always just one day at a time isn't it? And when you get down to it, they are all just days...nothing makes one more special than any other. Each has its lessons. Each gives us joyful and interesting moments. Lesson learned.
