One of the things I’ve noticed as I’ve gotten older is the wavering levels in faith. For some people the questionable number of remaining days spur the need to re-connect with their somewhat dusty religious practices. For others a tinge of depression seems to make doing anything seem fruitless. And for still others, a peaceful attitude takes hold.
I believe that being spritual and being religious are two entirely different things. My interpretation is that spiritual feelings and beliefs come from within, and religious beliefs come from outside of us. It doesn’t mean they can’t be united, or cohesive, but they are not to be confused as the same. Religion tends to be man-made, and I think that is where the murky waters flow. I’d like to believe my faith resides within and is stronger than the wrathful religious teachings of my youth. My faith has never let me down whereas my religion has.

March 9, 2012 at 6:09 pmHi Jackie,
Good luck on your blogging! I came up with the theme by using my old family photographs and developing a retro-styled look. Then I took my ideas to Lauren at TechCon and she created several different options for me. We went back and forth for a bit and then were both happy with what you see now. I highly recommend using a webdesigner if you want something that reflects your spirit and voice. Oh, and have fun with it!

March 14, 2012 at 7:26 amThroughout this awesome design of things you actually get an A+ for effort. Exactly where you actually misplaced me personally ended up being in your facts. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be much more correct here. Having said that, allow me reveal to you what did deliver the results. The writing is certainly very powerful and that is most likely why I am making an effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, despite the fact that I can notice the leaps in reason you come up with, I am definitely not certain of exactly how you seem to unite the points which inturn produce your conclusion. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your point but hope in the future you link the dots much better.

March 15, 2012 at 12:55 amHi and thanks for your considered response. As a graduate student I’m faced with endless analytical papers and “proper” ways of writing. In this space my intent is to simply share my views, my wonderment, on aging and being a woman. No rules, no writing “hafta’s.” I have no doubt there are many visitors who want concrete peer-reviewed research if they are going to continue to check in. There is a place for such work, but not here. This is a place in which I write from my heart and emotions. I’m hoping by sharing my own musings others will share theirs. When a dialog gets started on that level there will be much to learn.
Thanks for your visit, and for letting me know how you feel.
🙂 Gail
