To Conform Or Not to Conform?

RDP Thursday: Conform

This is my granddaughter, Luna.

She just started to walk and she is just about to turn a year old.

She likes to play with her big sister Jemma ( they absolutely adore each other ), she loves to mimic the sounds and faces that her Mom and Dad make- the sillier the better. Her BFF is their dog, Opie ( who looks like a four legged Ewok )

As far as babies go, I thought she was hitting those milestones babies are supposed to hit by their first birthday. So sure I was happy for that.

Healthy and happy, way to go Luna!

A few days ago I asked my Son for gift ideas for Luna’s birthday and he said,

” She’s a demon. She loves to chew on everything. So chew toys for sure ”

Luna was doing this weird crawl and run thing and she sort of reminded me of one of those demons from ( you pick the horror movie ).

I looked over at Hamish’s new box of toys on the counter,  I texted back, ” okay ” and told myself to banish the thought. Those were Hamish’s new chew toys.

My daughter in law texted me back next and filled in the blanks,

“No new chew toys. She has enough of them and they’re all over the place. She also chews on our shoes ( *and I think humans) , she likes to stick her hands in the toilet, she gets into Opie’s food and she’s running all over the place now.”

I set back, I read the text over again. Luna certainly is a little devil, no doubt about it.

I replied, ” A demon grandchild? How did I get so lucky? ”

Julio and Nicole thought I was being funny.

LOL.

I was, sort of.

WP Prompt:  Who is the fictional character you relate to the most?

MYRIAM LAPLANTE

Pick a ghost, any ghost and that is the fictional character I can identify with.

Sometimes I feel like I belong  to a home with a dishwasher and books and   a friendly  dog who likes to greet you at the door when you come home  and there are other times I drift from one event to another,  to an attic,  to a cemetery in the blink of an eye.

There are other times when I feel real and I’m sure that people around me can see me and when I say something they can hear me too, but then there are other times they look right through me.

I’m not sure what it says about me, that I feel like a ghost haunting my own life but there you have it.

Say What Now?

WP Prompt: Do you think everything happens for a reason?

I have never believed that ‘things happen for a reason’ and let me tell you I believe in things like ghosts and curses and monsters and haunted houses and to a lesser degree UFO’s ( but I don’t buy into Ancient Astronauts building the pyramids, that’s just stupid- I can’t believe any life form would walk away from real estate they know they can own and master )

What I do believe is that the Universe offers us uncountable options and choices every second of our life and some of those choices make the next choice easier or harder.

We write our own fate and that is no small thing- it’s an adventure you go on with no GPS or Maps or timetables to guide you and is that such a bad thing?

Beside who wants to believe that someone would sit down and write your life and say, ” I’m totally going to mess and hurt this person from the minute they are born until the second they die ”

What could any entity possibly get out of that?

In a word, my home decor style can be described as:

My collection of gargoyles sit on my mantle piece, I have framed copies of ” Lucifer ” and  The Sin by Fran Von Stuck on my living room wall. I have a little book shelf with my collection of curious like my  dragon fly, and little bones and bird shells and my below are some of my books about all topics curious macabre.

I even keep my cd’s of  Gregorian Chants there.

Still, my place is sort of bare bones, but with a few things here and there I think it speaks to who I am.
