Easter coming Up

Never celebrated Easter much since moving here.  I always felt that the emphasis was to be on Christ, not the Easter Bunny.  I relented one year when my daughter was younger and bought her a plush bunny that turned inside-out to become a silk egg.  I placed it beside her bed and using flour, placed my fingers together to form bunny tracks leading from her bed to the door, where they just disappeared!  She was amazed and had a lot of fun trying to figure out how the tracks mysteriously vanished.  That was the only time I celebrated that way.  The main plus for me is the Easter cantata which I usually have a solo to sing, and a new Easter outfit.  I bought a new dress this year, the first one in the last several years especially for Easter.  I have a solo to practice for - but not hopeful so far, judging from my rehearsals.    I think I miss the Easter egg hunts for the children when I was growing up.  Although I still believe that the main focus should be on the "reason for the season" which is Christ and his sacrifice and victory.

The Passenger

Balancing Act

I started with 1 blog and somehow ended up with 4.  Two were created when I made a name change.  Not sure why that happens when you are working within the DESIGN or EDIT  feature of your original blog.  So far, the only one who has read anything I have posted is my daughter and two friends.  I thought that the search engines would find you using the key words in your title.  One of my blogs deals with a health issue - so I had wanted to share my thoughts and struggles there, but in a more protected fashion.  But I still don't see any followers or comments.  Downer.  Right now - I am primarly using Transplanted Kentuckian and the other health-related one.  This one is more regional for me since I mention more of my background during childhood.  The Transplanted Kentuckian is to relate more of my personal thoughts and experiences as a previously unsophisticated kid from Kentucky.  This is NOT a slam on Kentucky - I love being from there and love all my roots there.  It is just that my life is so different since I first married and moved to different states, finally settling in California.  No one in my immediate family (parents / siblings) had even gone beyond high school or traveled outside the U.S.  I have spent a month in the Philippines, visited Tokyo for a few hours (we took a LONG bus ride to the hotel and watched sumo wrestling for a few hours between flights).  We stopped over in Seoul, Korea on the way over and Tokyo on the way back.  May not sound like much, but before age 16, I had never been anywhere other than Kentucky or Tennessee and Indiana, where I lived.
Getting off subject - but I think that that is something about BLOGS that I like - you can ramble.  It's like a diary that you don't mind sharing with everyone.
