Today, the baby girl, her good friend, and I went to my best friend and my baby girl’s godmother, Debbie’s house to help her celebrate her wedding vow renewal to her husband who is my baby girl’s godfather as well. I was so happy to attend because I haven’t seen my Debbie in what feels like an eternity. The ceremony was beautiful, I would even venture to say more beautiful than the first time around. This time it is after ten whole years of actual marriage and not merely a promise. Moreover, the same gang bore witness today as did a decade ago. That also gave today a very special feel.

Ironically, I was tasked by Debbie to be the event photographer and she lent me her camera to take all the pictures and in all the excitement, I completely forgot to take my own pictures. I showed her the pictures and she was very happy so that is what matters. Sorry that I neglected to get pictures for myself and for my blog, perhaps Debbie will send me some pictures and I’ll be able to paste them in at a later date. Debbie was a beautiful bride once again, in a long summery dress of blue and white with a floral pattern very tastefully done. Her hair was loosely braided and tied up in a topknot with wispy tendrils framing her beautiful face. Jim her husband was in a polo shirt and shorts, he was just happy to be there amongst family, friends and his wife in their backyard with a definite big party to follow.

It was a very happy day for everyone all around.

jealousy, letters, postaday2012, writing

Write an anonymous letter to someone you’re jealous of.

I don’t think that I have been jealous of someone in a long time, if ever. Those who are prettier than I, smarter than I or richer than I, get my well wishes. I do not mean to come off as being superior in any way, that is really not my intention. I simply never wanted to be jealous, I never wanted to have something or achieve something at someone else’s expense. I always thought that it would diminish me and make me less somehow. I wanted anything that came my way, to have come organically from me. If I wasted my energy being jealous of others, I wouldn’t have much energy or time to do much for myself.

I had my share of teasing and bullying in elementary school and high school for everything from my looks to my book smarts, but instead of projecting any sadness or anger outwards, I internalized it and those feelings of anger and sadness had their focus on me and the things that were wrong with me.

All of this, after rereading what I had written is all about me and that’s okay.
