Let this serve as a warning to post updates more frequently

We've had a snowy weekend here too. My mini College reunion was cancelled because our host's flight out of VA was cancelled. That's okay. I've been putzing around, painting furniture and mulling over what I was doing exactly 21 years ago today. (Well, right now I was in hard labor.) My now D21 went out for dinner last night with her BF of 2 years, and then he was the DD for her and her friends. She was pretty hungover today. Hahaha. Glad it's not me!

Hope your weekends have been peaceful and relaxing. I happen to love snow on weekends. As long as I have food, I love it.

So, let's talk about Angels and Demons. Normally I avoid topics like this. Although I'm Catholic, I've had trouble with the idea of purgatory, limbo and demons. But I now find myself squaring off. My late brother has been communicating with his XW. He's had quite a bit to say, and I am now allowing myself the chance to revisit my beliefs. Apparently, when he passed, he was in what we call purgatory, firmly seated between 2 demons... Named Addiction and Murder. Apparently, dying by your own hand indirectly is considered murder of self. He said he was released by all the love and prayers of his family and friends who loved him. Oddly, I feel comforted greatly by that notion. I've long held the belief that if one doesn't pray for himself, prayers are like throwing good money after bad. Apparently I was wrong. Prayers are beams of love for others. Isn't that a happy thought?

Something that I've long believed that's true where he is? Same sex marriage doesn't matter. Love is love. That's a gender free thing. At least my arguments on that are dead on. God is love, and love is universal and gender less. Yippee!

Ok, time to get busy here. I've been slacking for a few hours now and need to get ready for an early day tomorrow coupled with what will probably be a horrible commute. Yuck.

Hugs. Bets
