Demeter The Goddess Of Life

Three of her daughters Peresphone, Artemis and Psyche through monotheism became known as Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.  Figues huh.  Bathroom reading 101.  Just a little info for anyone interested.  Information garnered from "Women And Madness" by Phyllis Chesler.  I am re reading this book after about 10 years.  I have a real interst in mythology especially combined with feminism.  This is a book I read a paragraph or two at a reading, never more.  I sometimes regret the speed reading course I took so many years ago.

The Christmas tree is up and the Christmas table cloth is on the table.  Christmas spent with a family is so much more, more what?  More everything I think, fun, exciting, and enriching.  The Christmas's I spent alone before moving here were not nearly so meaningful as they are with this family.  Christmas day was always spent at the dropin centre, at least I knew what I was doing that day and a lot of people who might have been alone on Christmas day had the option of being with others.  it served a purpose for me and hopefully for others.

There was a lot of snow today and it was first day probably since last winter that I didn't go out.  I slept late this morning and woke up with a blurry left eye.  I also did a lot of sneezeing all day so it was probably sinus problems, gone now so no problem.  Closing in on 11;00p.m and bedtime for me.
