As I am starting this, it is still Fat Tuesday, as well as the Eve of the Chinese New Year 2005-Year of the Rooster! (By the time I finish it looks like it will post the next day.) The new moon is in Aquarius which hilights sensitivity and perception. Aquarius is a sign of individuality and the Aquarian moon can bring out passions of the mind. Dreams while the moon is in Aquarius involve the teaching of right actions for day to day living. The instruction recieved during this period can be psychically draining and the physical body can be affected the next day. If one is taking the necessary steps already, the instruction will involve plans for the future.
As for Fat Tuesday, my earliest memories of church are that of a Catholic. I was baptized and had catechism as well as First Holy Communion (it's WAFER thin!) My Grandmother on my dad's side was very involved with the church. The joke in the family is that when she went to visit the Vatican, the Pope got down on one knee and kissed her ring. "Forgive me, Kitty for I have sinned." (OMG-Blasphemy!!!) My Grandmother's funeral was the same day as Mother Theresa's.
The most beautiful thing about my Grandma Kitty, besides the fact that she had hair down to her behind, and could float in the lake on her back for what seemed like hours at a time, was her love of Monty Python. She took me to see The Holy Grail when it came out. I must have been in about 5th grade. It's one of the few times that I ever did anything alone with her. It was kinda hard since she had 10 kids and I lost count of the Grandkids (I'm STILL #1! and I have the #1 Greatgrandkid too!) It is one of the best families anyone could ask for because everyone is accepted as is. (and with that many people-we've got just about every IS there IS!!!)
I'm not sure what I would give up for Lent if I was going to do so. I could lose the coffee. I could lose the attitude. I could give away all of my secrets. I'll get back to you on this.
