I finally caught up with my other journal this morning. Yet one more way of avoiding the car shop.

About Me
- Gannet Girl
- Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans. What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

I think I am going to give up liquor. It is going to be a very long Lenten season.
i do read your other journal from time to time, though i haven't visited recently. i'm so out of the liturgical loop that i almost fell on the floor when one of my collegues invited me to a pancake supper at her church tonight - because it is Mardi Gras, Shrove Tuesday, however you choose to call it. when i realized tomorrow is Ash Wednesday i felt i had fallen into a rabbit hole - what? no? already? impossible!!! but easter comes very early this year, so of course everything else does too. we hurtle onwards through the year, how time flies when you almost never pull your head out of the hole in which you are living.
I can't believe it's Lent already. I do so love this time of year though. Pamela
