Eternal Curse: Battleground 7.1 (wip)

Mira and I carefully and quietly snuck out of our private quarters and then out the hotel’s side entrance, as we headed to the poorest and most dangerous part of the city, so we could find the shanties. There we gave an old man a gold coin and a piece of plant based writing material, with a strange symbol on it that we’d been instructed to draw out. The symbol appeared to be the shape of the letter ‘U’ overlapped by three rings. Two parallel horizontal rings intersected at a one-third perpendicular across a longer vertical ring, caused all three together to resemble the appearance of a cross. We were told to give the coin to the first elderly man we saw and to show him the image so that, then, we would be lead to the secret caves.

Happy New Year’s Everyone! – 2015

Wikipedia

I would like to invite you to share a good-bye, something you’re grateful for, and a hope or want for the near or far future.

So many people have come and gone into this world in the past year. For me, I personally lost a sister-in-law. She and I weren’t as close as I would have liked, but we were pretty close. She was the first of my in-laws to accept me for who I was, no questions asked. I will miss her greatly.

I’m gratefully for the many blessing I’ve received throughout year, especially during my selfish moments when I was so undeserving of such blessings. I’m grateful to be the person my Lord created me to be, even when other don’t understand me.

Like so many others, I hoe for better heath and a overal improvement of life. Most of all, I hope to be able to remember my blessings and experience more happiness than sadness in the year to come.

Be safe this holiday and be blessed throughout the year.

It’s Christmas Eve! – 2014

Wikipedia

Christmas is a special time of year for so many people. Christians celebrate the birth of Christ. Others, who observe this occasion, spend time with loved ones and spread cheer. I think, also, that many people try extra hard to be a better versions of themselves than they usually are, during this time.

Christmas isn’t just for Christians and I think it’s great. Why wouldn’t I be grateful for any occasion that brings out the best in people? So, to anyone reading this today or some time down the road, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you.
