I'm not going to worry about work. I know, maybe I SHOULD, but I feel like I need a break from it.... not from job-searching, but from WORRYING. Y'know? I already called the CCB this morning to make sure my application got to my old boss and then left a message for the hiring manager in the Clerk's Office to let her know I'd put in my application. Now it's the waiting game on that, and the ball's in her court.
So, today I'm cleaning my apartment, doing little things that need to get done around here, at some point going for a walk, writing in my journal, listening to NPR, at some point I'll upload my resume to a site that Chris sent me last night.... but mostly I'm going to try to focus on some other things.
I set up a little altar yesterday. I don't really do much serious ritual work or anything, and I don't feel like it's something I "have to have" 'cause I call myself Pagan... I just, wanted a focal point for thoughts about faith and beleif and things that inspire me. It's got a small fountain that I found on sale for very cheap that has a moon-shape (unfortunately the electrical cord coming from the back of it doesn't exactly add to it's "mystical" sense, but it's still pretty), mine and Chris's Green Man incense burner, a lavender candle, several stones, my little Laughing Buddha statue, and my Venus of Willendorf necklace. I like the Venus of Willendorf. No one's even sure that she was ever any sort of religious figer at all, it's just guesses, but I think that's one of the things I like about her.... nobody really knows what she's for, so she means something different to everyone who looks at her. To me, she glorifies the female body, and reminds me that the modern vision of "beauty" isn't all there's ever been. She lays next to Laughing Buddha (aka Fat and Happy Buddha) because I figure they'd get along. ;) And every once in a while, I rub Buddha's belly for luck.
'Cause, why not? It kinda makes you giggle. ;) And he looks so damned happy! I love Fat and Happy Buddha.
So yeah, today, my casa is a no worries zone. And I'll probably be around all day, so anybody who feels like they need to visit a No Worries Zone is welcome to drop by. =) I'll even let you rub Buddha's belly. ;)
Love,
Crystal
