Day 4/365
Welcome home babe.
Wifey is now out of the hospital and back at home. Still in some pain though. Keeping food down, and no more nausea. Recovery will take a few weeks but all is looking good so far.
These are a some " get well soon " flowers that were waiting for her when she got home. Glad to see her friends care about her and are thinking about her. Thanks for the support everybody.
We hopped the fence of Mulligan Field to use the soccer net for some pictures. They turned out really well. :)

"Wish we could erase
Both time and space,
And talk face-to-face
of what's new;
But until that can be,
This greeting from me
Lets you see
That I'm thinking of you."
The pussy willows are silver sparkle. Ain't that just a keeper?
This is what has become my Goddess side of my altar. I was thinking that I would change the Goddess statue as the seasons change, but for some reason it just really wants to stay as it is.
Items:
A Brigid plaque by Dryad Designs. In front of it is an orange-red crystal that reminds me of a little bit of fire.
You can see a Venus of Willendorf figurine to the far right of the picture, that is actually more a part of the center of the altar, I bought her in a store in Salem called Goddess Treasures.
The statue you see on the far left is a Willow Design statue called Gratitude that was a gift to myself. She has a white swan near her because Swan was one of my first discovered totems and has been with me ever since I first dedicated myself to the path of paganism. It has a deeper meaning and ties into the day I dedicated myself to my Gods and it also ties in with the pagan name I used to go by many years ago. It is also something that a long lost friend gave me for my birthday about 6 years ago.
There is also a small crystal bowl in front of the statue that contains some shells that were gifts from friends. And she has a large piece of celestite which ties into the gentleness of the sea, of healing and of memories that echo this part of my altar perfectly.
Slightly cut off in the bottom of the left hand side of the picture is a ceramic leaf that was made especially to hold joss sticks. I bought it from a place called Harnett's in Harvard Square (sadly this lovely store is no more) and when I light cones or joss sticks they are placed on/in this.
A nice generic green leaf style candle holder that I purchased from Walgreen's years back. It was part of their fall line.
She asked if we could go to the store so she could get a toy.......so i asked her what kind of toy would she like......she said let me think!

I’ve always really loved Martin Luther King Jr.; I guess I just see him as the original deeply christian equal rights leader figure, the first to really speak for the idea that God is love and fire should not be fought with fire, but with more love.
When I was little I would check out every book about him from the elementary school library in succession just to start again at the beginning of the cycle. There was one book that was particularly my favourite, but when I was in third grade it was removed from the library after someone found the derogatory, obscene words some kid had scribbled on the back cover page. When I saw what someone had written about MLK there between check outs, I just crossed it out, but with pencil of course because we were always told never to write in a book with anything un-erasable.
