What’s good in Thorne’s World today? Well, what isn’t? Haha! Really, a positive outlook can change the way we view things, can’t it?

It’s a GOOD morning in Thorne’s World!  Man, it better be after the last one.  That was a rough couple days in some ways. Maybe it was just the dregs of my winter sleepies after me, but I’ve been soooo tired lately!  Not tired enough to sleep early really (I’m rarely that tired, ol’ night owl that I am), but too tired to get up in the morning no matter what time I went to bed!  Laying there peeking out from under the covers at the clock… 9….10…11

“Please ma… just 5 more minutes!!”

Spring must be comin’!  I can feel it in my bones and in the way I’ve been waking up at 7:30 even when I didn’t get to sleep ’til after 2; and waking up feeling GOOD!

That’s OtGF in Thornesworld for today!  I did 2, count them- 2, Thursday Thirteens this week!  My regular one here, on Getting Ready To Garden that has me sooo fired up! And another over at my new blog, The Eclectic Witch on 13 Daily Practices of a Practical Witch, that really got me in gratitude mode and thinking about my attitude and outlook.  Ya know how sometimes ya go along and just take shit for granted?  Not just other folks, but yourself? You start feelin’ like somehow you’re not doing enough, or maybe even being enough?  Writing out that TT reminded me of who I am and what I do.  It was good for me! (And it made the front page on most discussed topics over there, so a big GOOD Thank you to everyone who visited and commented!!!)

This morning I popped in at Shelly’s place to see what was goin’ on for OtGF, and she’s talkin’ about gardening and has a link to another gardening blogger who is trying to start yet another really good thing!

Give What You Grow

Here in Thorne’s World we almost always end up growing more than we can eat (or more than I can keep up with freezing and canning), so we have been giving away our surplus to The Salvation Army and local Homeless Shelters and Soup Kitchens for years.  This is a really GOOD idea and nutritionally it beats the hell out of sending in that can of over-processed green beans (although of course giving whatever you can is good).

Thorne’s Garden this year is, in large part, only happening thanks to the generosity of my good neighbor, R.  R. isn’t in much better shape financially than we are, in some ways worse.  He’s got the VA trying to help him save his mortgage right now.  But when I told him I couldn’t even afford seeds this year and that I would be crossing my fingers and casting every spell I knew on my old saved seeds in hopes of getting a few to germinate he came over with his carefully stored seed box and shared seeds with me.  12 varieties of tomatoes, 6 different watermelons, cantaloupe, spinach and beets and squashes, pumpkins and bok choy and rutabagas!  What a doll!  Now, that’s good!

I could just keep ramblin’ on… I just feel that good today, but Imma quit now and go work on my Ancestor Altar.  I have painting and decopage and decorating to do!  Creativity and honoring and loving my dead is GOOD!

Peace, Out!

*edit. Dayum! All this good writing has my Gematriculator, (You know, that thing up there in the sidebar that tells you all how EVIL I am??) down to an all time low of only 32% evil. Shhhh… I’m not changing it. We’ll just go on pretending (pretending is good, right?) that I’m a badass 41% evil! Buahahahahaaaa

Won’t you join us?? Help spread the good love for Only The Good Friday!

Leave the link to your good in comments and I’ll repost it here! Thanks for participating!

So says Shelly at This Eclectic Life. I like it. I like it alot!!!
So here’s what’s good at 3:01 on Friday morning in Thorne’s World.
There is a cozy fire in the fireplace across the room from where I got my big desk moved to and all set up this week.
My 2 night owl parrots are to each side of me (while the other 4 are covered and sleeping in the next room).
Nightmare III, my black cat, is sitting on a chair next to me, psychically communicating with Hildy, the African Gray, who responds by saying “Hi, Hildy” to him.
My Girlyboi has had a full week of work, despite early week projections. A full week’s paycheck is GOOD!
I’m blogging again.
I’m enamored of the expression “Heal over” as used in the song of the same title by K.T. Tunstall. I was talking with e. tonight, and we were discussing how worn and shallow the term “heal” (as is relevant to traumatic and life changing experiences and events) has become. How “healing” isn’t always possible and sometimes the best we can do is assimilate an experience. I kept returning to the concept of “healing over”, like an oyster creating a pearl. Making something beautiful and rare and precious from something ugly and painful. I’m focusing on that as something good.

Mingle² – Online Dating

So this is freaking…uh- wait, FUCKING hilarious!!! Just got back from Fetch Me My Axe, where I found this little gem. (We share the same rating… Woo Hooo!!) It’s pretty amusing in a stupid sort of way.

I remember some years ago when one of those kid-safe filtering programs came out. I can’t remember which one, but it was shortly after all those tapioca eating, purple robed, tennis shoe wearing psychos took off with for their rendevous with Jesus aboard a comet, I think. LOL. The funny thing then, was that your kid couldn’t get to a site that referenced “pagan, wicca, or old religion”, but “UFO” and “christian” were of course, allowed. I hate to think how many UFO curious, christian kids coulda made it through past those filters to catch a ride on the tapioca express!

But what I reeeeeally wanna know is, if I’m “NC17″, shouldn’t I be at least a little more than the 35% evil that I get here???

Well, I don’t feel so bad now. My darlin’ dyke beldamme over at Fetch My Axe is only slightly less evil than I, coming in at 33% evil. Muahahahaha….
