Mabon Mutterings

Good evening, gentle readers, and and a Happy Harvest Home to one and all!
Yarr, me hearties, 'tis glad greetins o' ye day o' ye pirates i bring ye, yarr!



First, some business. We have a new kitten. Her name is Matilda. She is FRIKKIN ADORABLE. I keep telling people this, and not being able to back it up, since I can't just carry her around with me everywhere. Therefore, I present Exhibit A, our kitten, Matilda:




And, in the interest of fairness, our other cat, the fat, handsome, and only occasionally grumpy Gandalf:

And, I think you all know my wonderful husband Cian, but what the hell, lets throw a picture of him in here too. Just for kicks, lets make it one from when we first met-
I hereby present Cian, age 18, when we had only been dating for about six months, at a mardi gras party:



Doesn't he have the most beautiful eyes? You can totally see why I fell for him.
If you all ask very nicely, I may someday post some more photos from that party....we'll see.

Anyway, I just got home from our caya coven Mabon celebration, and let me just say, what a celebration it was. I think that I am absolutely just so lucky to be able to be a part of such a dynamic, strong, caring, and inspiring group of people. I want to just list everyone, and say how much I love them, and how incredible I think they are, but there are so many I just know that I would forget someone accidentally and end up regretting it.

Suffice it to say that there are those who amaze me, who inspire me, who make me laugh, who I respect, who I look up to, who I appreciate, who have great laughs and wonderful hugs and beautiful faces and tremendous strength and magnificent power, whose love and hope and joy and endurance and talent make every moment I spend with any of them an absolute joy.
Every time I go, I see these people, and I think how blessed I am that they know my name, that they welcome me with open arms, that they think of me when I'm gone and greet me with smiles when I am there. How fortunate am I, that I am a piece of this.

Blessed be, my friends, blessed be.
