Crystal moon
Do you ever notice that once you accept things as the way it's going to be, that it all feels a little more pleasant to deal with? I wish they bottled that, and sold it on eBay. Chances are it would probably cost too much anyway.
My little niece, the one I bonded with so arduously over this past summer, is terrible sick. Bronchitis? I think that's what it is, so it's pretty bad. I hear she can't breath very well, and her nose is running something nasty. :( Me and my mom are feeling down to think about my sister and niece having to go through this. Doctor tomorrow, hopefully that'll clear things up a little bit.
As it comes closer, I feel more and more excitement for the time I will be teaching primary by myself. It's only one day I believe, and I plan to pop in "Jonah" from Veggie Tales, but it still feels veyr special. There was a time I didn't like those kids, they seemed very bratty. Now that I feel more in touch with them, and more akin to their age, I can remember better back to a day when I was in primary at their age. Such fun and hope. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Tuesday marks the book club that I'm co-hosting. At first I felt as if it would be a disaster, becuase I heard it was half full with mormon wives, so you can imagine what I expected. Gossip, talk of children, swaping recipes, and a room full of zealots who didn't read the book. I wasn't about to subject "Monkey" to that crowd, I could just see them with bonnets, sundresses, and high heels sipping their tea and ignoring all attempts to start conversation on 'Buddhism vs. Taoism.' Recently I've been assured that it is a very serious book club, they allways read the books, discuss them in an educated manner with no gossip interjecting, and the hostesses are meant to come prepared with handoutst ect. It sounds very professional, and it lifts my hopes. However, I still don't see mormon women (who can be 100 times worse than mormon men when it comes to discussing or not discussing religion) favoring a positive discussion of Buddha and Tripitaka. I just know someone's going to say, "Yeah, but Buddhism isn't the true religion." and then proceed to compare buddhism's faults to mormanism's truths. And what really bothers me, is that I think my mom will participate in that discussion readilly, while I will want to start screaming.
It would be a whole nother cup of tea if the book club were made up of non-mormons.
