And So I speak... I don't get online much.  I am in a place where my time online is limited by others time online(three teens), and my own being so busy that I just don't often find the time for much other than checking email, shopping, or myspace checking or craigslist.

Tonight my beautiful love and I get a classy night out. We won a limo ride to a dinner all expense paid at a nice restaurant in a city an hour away.  We are looking forward to it although my mainly butch grrlfriend is in a tizzy about her attire.  I am more girly/femme or used to be much more so.  that at least means I have more choices of what to wear.  I think we will have to go to the shops later today to find her a new pair of shoes to go with one of the few femme outfits she has.

Since you dpn't yet know much about me my dearest journal readers. I have decided to pull a topic from the news today as a jumping off point from which to journal.

I cannot believe there is still such intolerance and idiocy on this earth. just a fewmonths ago I was so excited for my granddaughter to be born.  I told everyone who would hear my theory. 

This is a girl child who will be born and raised with a new way of thinking and a new kind of life. with two grandmas who love one another, a grandmother and grandfather who live seperate lives, brown uncles, and godbrothers, a set of traditional great frandparents and a single great grandma, even a great great grandmother.  two aunties and a great uncle who aren't that much older than she is and maybe someday even another aunt or uncle raised by her two grandmas who love one another.  All with different paths spiritually in life. She will have choices and lvoe from all of these people and will be so loved she will never feel hate towards others because of thier lifestyle. She will grow up as one of the first in the next few generations of these children who are going to slowly be able to have these huge diverse families and lives... and she will radiate that same love and maybe someday be a teacher or leader to bring love and knowledge and openness to the world.

I still believe she will be a great person and do those things.  you can already see the love and wisdom radiate from her.  but some days.... i read stories like this one above.  And I am afraid our world will not let our children be who they are meant to be.

SIGH.

today I am excited for tonight... but a little sad for those who weren't raised by a hippie mother. Thank You today Mother for raising me to be who I am.  Even if it took years to fully blossom.  and please have faith my Mother that I am doing all I can to teach my children and thier children well.
