firefly124Today I'm grateful for my Gods, particularly the support and guidance They give when I need it. Even when in the form of a much-needed kick in the pants. I'm also grateful for the friends and community I've found at HTAZP.
Meanwhile, note to self: for future reference, the Feast of Fear is one of those festivals that really requires taking the night prior off. And not just because the preparations involve dream incubation. Not one of your more light-hearted and easygoing festivals, as should be rather evident from the name. I'm moderately surprised I'm still conscious, though part of that may be procrastination, as I have a feeling I'll be finishing off this day's Work in tonight's dreams. Not comfy stuff, but clearly stuff in need of being dealt with. Not sure how much detail I'm likely to get into here, but suffice it to say that as the name of the festival suggests, it's all about confronting whatever it is that you fear, figuring out what aspects of it (if any) are the healthy keep-you-out-of-trouble kind of fear and what aspects are the paralyzing-so-things-that-need-to-be-done-aren't kind of fear, and figuring out where to go from there.
