All's Quiet

    Today has been a quiet day. Only me and my cat Belle here today.

   Yesterday my sister and nephew were here visiting. I had a good time with both of them. I introduced my sister to a typing game that she fell in love with(it's hard to find games that she actually like lol).
I enjoyed watching my nephew play my new xbox360 game (samurai warriors2). We had pizza for supper and then came the sad part when they had to go home.
   I've been waiting to receive and email from a friend that lives far away from me right now. I'll keep being patient and hope it comes in sometime this month.
   I didn't get to go to Church today which turned out to be good after all since i woke up with a migraine...i get migraine's way too often, and for so many different reasons.
  Right now just trying to get some reading done and keeping quiet, don't want to make migraine worse, and hoping to get to bed at a decent time tonite if i can. Hoping my CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) won't stop me from sleeping. I do need some rest tonite.
   My cat has been more quiet than usual today, might be from the fact that yesterday was clip the claws day. She got through it alright but has been quiet ever since, in about an hour she's due for her usual nightly 'hyper time' which usually lasts five minutes.

First Post

   I've been fascinated by blogging for a few years, and this is my first attempt at having my own blog. I spent pretty much the whole day at viewing other blogs to get an idea of what some other people were doing. I haven't decided yet in which direction i want to take my blog. I have many opinions and ideas floating around my head, so i may take a few days at least for me to decide what i want to do with my blog.

  In the meantime(which happens to be the title of a good book that really helped me out in the past) i decided to share a bit about myself. Family is very important to me. I have 4 stepbrothers that i love dearly, and who are quite a bit older than me, and one sister who is only 3 yrs older than me. That makes me the youngest, and even at the age of 32 i am still referred to as the baby from time to time. I also have 9 nephews and 3 nieces.

   I was born in southern Ontario (Canada), but have spent most of my life in Northern Ontario. The small town that i now live in is the place that i call home and where i feel most at home. I did spend a year in Iqaluit (Baffin Island) which was an amazing experience that i am very grateful for.

  I've recently begun re-attending the Church that i chose to be baptized into at the age of 19, effectively and forever leaving the Catholic faith in which i was raised. For the past two years i have wanted to and made efforts to study other religions and to learn what i can about them regardless of mainstream medias views of them or any prevailing opinions, i like to make up my own mind on things after searching out true facts. In each case I've been able to fairly easily identify the reasons that i think these religions would appeal to others beyond the obvious one of being raised in it.

   Recently i've been trying to do a lot of self-analysis to try to figure out why i have made the mistakes that i have in my life. A few of those mistakes i deeply regret, but mostly i believe that our experiences, including our mistakes, shape who we are, and that we should be happy to be who we are. I've recently gotten myself into a situation which could turn out just like the mistake i made 12 yrs ago. I lost an amazing opportunity that would have brought me many blessings by making the wrong decision back then, i hope that i am wiser now and that when the time comes i will make the right decision in this situation that i am currently facing. I'm not trying to be mysterious, but i am trying to be tactful.

   I guess that's enough about me for now, i have some thinking to do and hopefully soon my posts will become much more interesting.
