Welcome to Gaia! ::

*nods* I've heard about that statistic.
As Floridians, we don't realize how lucky we are with all the sunny weather. When we move somewhere such as the place you live currently, we HAVE to be outdoors and try to get as much sunlight as possible.
Though sometimes, the sun here is TOO bright and especially like now TOO HOT!

Yeah, it's sad here. I would prefer tropical or at least a healthy balance in the weather. That's why I will always love Michigan. (born and raised there) I just miss experiencing all four seasons and storms. I feel so alive when there's a good thunder storm going on.

I can relate to how you feel about the night Pistl. I feel so much more awake and aware at night. I love the calm it gives me. The air is so much more different at night. It's crisp and electric to me.

*imagines that spring night*

Ah...that is one of the best. I also love the night after a storm.

So it's really strange...but I keep getting this feeling. Like this constant nag at the back of my consciousness. I keep having these dreams where I see myself in a tattoo parlor with my family getting a tattoo put on my back. It's always from an above, but off to the side sort of view point. After searching through images and meditating on it, I've discovered that the tat I keep seeing myself getting is those of angel wings. As far as tattoos go though, it was always something I thought to myself, "hm...interesting, but I'm not so sure it's for me." Now all of a sudden, and completely un-provoked (as to my knowledge) it's constantly at the back of my mind. I began to wonder if perhaps I should. I wonder if there is some strong significance to my doing so. I can also say that in my mind I see this happening while on my trip back home that's coming up soon. Now I am on a quest to understand this. Am I making any sense?

Hmm...that's a thought, but I only actually kept him for 2 years max and hadn't had him/seen him in almost 3 years. It did make me cry and sad for the rest of that day that he died. Don't be sorry for bringing it up. I'm not sad anymore. I'm ok now and have let go. He would actually be the third one I've had that has passed away. So, I'm not sure that's it. Especially since I was much more attached to Tye and had him for much longer and I was around for it. I keep seeing angel wings which hold special meaning to me. I keep debating on if I should get the tat. Ray found a lovely pair online that really hit home when I saw them. It was funny since I was just telling him about the dream and wasn't interested in getting them and he randomly went and did a search for wings.

I was thinking on it and meditating when I went to the tanning salon today. I wonder if it's symbolic for the changes I've been making in myself inside and out. Sorta like I'm letting go of all the things that brought me down and bettering myself. Like I'm finally free of the things that had been weighing on my heart and mind. Just personal stuff really that had to deal with me and me alone. Inner things.

I'm almost thinking I may go through with it. Heaven knows how special wings are to me. heart

Hahaha....I meant changing myself outside of the internet. It's funny that I can be more myself online then offline. I've been getting to be more trusting of others and more patient. Not to mention a lot more outgoing and I handle myself better under stressful circumstances. I'm much less uptight and serious about everything as well. Along with finally overcoming my depression! All of this and I haven't even started counting the changes is my appearance since that's a whole other deal.

Here's the picture of the wings I think I may get. What do you think?

Same! Ray showed them to me and they took my breath away. I think I'm gonna go for it.
