silver linings
Monday, 19 October 2009 19:38I guess the good part of everything that's been going on since Friday night is that I've been praying more. I suppose it makes sense, it's still odd. Jak trwoga to do Boga, as they say in Polish. (In hard times, [all] turn to God.) Part of me wishes I was sleeping more, but you can't have everything.
I've also been cooking and reading and doing minor little chores and projects. It's a matter of wanting to accomplish things.
Yesterday at the church office I spotted an old mistletoe bear. I had quite a few editions of these as a child and when I started going to camp in 1988 at age 6, it's what i took with me because he would survive the northern woods better than my doll. And the American thing to do was to bring a teddy/stuffed animal, not a doll. Plus, Misiu, as he was known, could go in the wash. I think he came to IMSA, but I don't think he made it to Smith. And now he's up in the attic bedroom at my parents house and last night I just became so homesick for him. It's rather nonsensical, but all I wanted was my Misiu to snuggle with.
Starting at Smith, I've grown a wide collection of stuffed animals once again, and I have my favorite doll in the condo still, but they're more for display and sentimentality than anything else.
