To Celebrate or not?

I just read a friends blog about current events and she said that she couldn't feel anything but sadness that a human's life is gone. I understand her thinking and what she says, but I can't separate the man from the evil. I understand feeling sad for the family that has to mourn his death, but Karma bites us in the ass sometimes! I can honestly say I have never wished for nor hoped for his death, but I have hoped that justice would be served. Osama Bin Laden has evaded American forces and allies for almost a decade making capture and trial almost impossible. It is not up to me to decide how justice is meted out. I feel sad for his family having to deal with his death, but no sadder than I felt for them having to be associated with him in the first place.

I won't say I'm celebrating his death, but I won't say I'm sad that he's gone. The world is less one tyrant/terrorist and I don't believe that anything else would have made the world feel safer. There is no way the man would have changed his viewpoint and prison would have done nothing. Many much less notable tyrants have controlled things from prison - why should we believe that Bin Laden would have been any different?

My concerns now center on the probability that Al Qaeda will probably be much more active - at least initially. They will now feel that they have to prove they are still just as powerful and THAT scares me! I pray the Gods/Goddesses hold our troops in their hands and keep them safe until things calm again.

Ok, I'm done. I hope everyone has a great day!

Life keeps Hopping Along!

I couldn't resist that title with the time of year! It seems that it is a never ending battle just to keep my head above water. I realized last week that I have been letting way too much get me down! Not anymore, I have made it to the gym 5 days now! I skipped Sunday ( just lazy) and today because I spent the whole day moving furniture and boxes and such up and down 2 flights of stairs - that was enough of a workout! I will be back on it tomorrow though!

When all of the moving and organizing is done, I will have my work space/office/studio back! I am so looking forward to having room to sew and make things again! I have tons of ideas in my head and tons of fabric to work with, just have to get to it. Now that I am starting to feel a bit better, I will get on it and maybe I'll share some of it here! First project will be a cloak for a customer in California.

Ok, enough for the day. On to getting some food and getting ready for a new day tomorrow! I get to see my best friend!

Remember.... Life's a banquet.. and most poor suckers are starving to death!

Put off putting it off

I saw this on a newsletter this morning and thought - that sums it up quite nicely! The author said, Quite trying to be perfect. Just do it.

She was referring to blogging! I can understand. I'm never quite sure what to write about and so I just don't get back here like I should. I guess it doesn't make much difference what is written - the point is to write! I will try to keep that in mind and begin more!
