Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny day which not even the smoking mountain could ruin. (No, Redoubt hasn't quite blown, but it was smoking and light ash fall occured over here.) I spent the morning at a friend's church, which was very fun, I enjoyed babbling on about books with Mrs. B. When I went back to the Chateau, I turned on my computer, listened to music and read. Perfectly peaceful way to spend my Sunday afternoon. In the evening, I called Jhaniel and we chatted for quite a while before she went to dinner and I watched Cranford again. Well, half of it again.
Today is colder, and greyer- I cannot quite see the mountain. I've spent a good ammount of time practicing piano and violin, and a lot reading. No surprise there... But once again, I've come to another Vienna Teng song that just reflects my mood. So, here for you all is Lullabye For A Stormy Night. With Bambi. You can't get much better than that.
It reminds me, for some odd reason, of one night when I was small when Mum told me a story about the fairies dancing outside in the rain so that I'd go to sleep. Mum, do you remember that?
This is a beautiful song- I'm really liking Vienna Teng!
ReplyDeleteYou know, it struck me as I sat here listening to this that this stage of life you are in at the moment is so precious. You are living each day authentically, you have the space and time to just be yourself and you are getting to know exactly who you are. I didn't get that time. I met Stuart at 17, and we spent every single day (and many nights) together from that first week of friendship. We "dated" for 2 years, were engaged for 2, and married when I was 21.There were many emotional gaps in my heart, and I leant on him fiercely from day one. We have been inseparable, yet it has done a lot of damage for both of us over the years. Now I am very much a Mamma, and a wife, and there's only a tiny wee bit of me that's me. I'm working on that.
Anyway, I just wanted to encourage you and say hooray for some years of getting to know oneself, and truly doing the things that delight you. Reading your blog refreshes and inspires and reminds me. :) Thankyou.
Okay, I have to say I love the song, love love love, but I've never been much of a Bambi fan. The two work remarkably well together in this video, though.
ReplyDeleteAnd that was great fun talking to you! Though I did a double-take when you wrote 'evening'; I had to remember the time difference, haha.
Saminda: Thank you so much for those words. It really encourages me, because sometimes I feel like I'm just in a sort of stagnant stage- going nowhere and not doing much. I know I have several years of schooling in front of me where I hope to develop my own person.(My reason for not getting romantically involved with anyone.) I'll be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteJhaniel, I know what you mean, I was never the Bambi girl, but I just thought it went well with this song. Yeah, that one hour time difference made it from late afternoon to evening for me. ^_^ Sometimes, too long goes between our talks.
Thanks to both of you!

Yes, darling flower fairy, I remember making up stories and songs for you at bedtime, especially when you couldn't sleep. Love you child, sleep tight and have lovely dreams.
