But then, some counter-culture traditions like movies and Chinese food on Christmas day aren't really so bad.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356998698106275372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-24432752615864659262007-10-26T08:41:00.000-04:002007-10-26T08:41:00.000-04:00LOVE! the photos!I feel I have too many commitment...LOVE! the photos!<BR/>I feel I have too many commitments and they just tend to bog you down; both mentally and physically.<BR/>Change is good though, whether a change of residence or a change in mindset. :)<BR/><BR/>Speaking of commitments, my husband recently read <I>Blood & Thunder</I>. One quote (which I can't remember exactly) that he shared with me was when a general in the US Army was trying to convince an Indian/Native American to settle down and live in a town. He came back with a reply that said basically, why should he make himself a slave to his possessions like the white man when he was free.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875008154587045790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-19169295302895062822007-10-25T22:31:00.000-04:002007-10-25T22:31:00.000-04:00Excellent musings my darling Reya!

I have had this discussion (argument) with a friend who thinks less of me because I never bought a house! As if my commitment to teaching or my family, or a relationship or my education are less important. Isn't that odd?Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715784900659276067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-47279977610909368012007-10-25T12:36:00.000-04:002007-10-25T12:36:00.000-04:00I've been trying to trade in my bah-humbug attitud...I've been trying to trade in my bah-humbug attitude to this time too - sometimes it's worth it, other times bah humbug still comes out on top.<BR/><BR/>Re commitments - I think we are just so in love with labeling things - rather than just allowing ourselves to be! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871239587214383387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-5872189313615793472007-10-25T09:33:00.000-04:002007-10-25T09:33:00.000-04:00I'm going to try to enjoy this season as well.
