Happy Shabbat!
Nov. 29th, 2008 12:38 pmI stayed up way later than I ever have since being at Mother's talking to a friend I haven't talked to in quite a while. I'm feeling it today, BUT, it's The Sabbath, so there's no doings and there will be plenty of naptime opportunities today.
I have to say, I very much like the waking to an empty house. Mother only asked me to church once, and made a joke that I wouldn't get to eat if I didn't come cause they're going to potluck after service, and then asked if I'd say yes at all while I'm here, and I said very probably, and she dropped it.
I figure it would be rude to not attend at least one while I'm here, also she gave me some fabric for a pattern I bought, so it'd give me somewhere to wear new clothes to. Plus I do enjoy the hymn singing, sue me.
I think that recently I've learned to just enjoy the things about religion I like and to be less bothered by the things I don't. I'm trying to just take the spirit of the thing, the search for peace, the fellowship, and not get bogged down by all the dogma and restriction. Nothing wrong with setting aside a day to think happy thoughts and be thankful for the good stuff.
So what was my Sabbath worship? I watched the two most recent episodes of How I Met Your Mother, and THE NAKED MAN was seriously the best episode ever, left me sitting here grinning like an idiot it was so fun.
I'm aware how much stress and bad moods bog down my health, but I don't take enough time to notice how much relaxing and happy help me, I still feel somewhat tired and achy, but it's just nowhere near as bad when I'm happy.
BEWARE Incoming picture posts, including a Biff and something about an armpit vagina, stay tuned.
