time to look for a hole to crawl into

Sometimes I wonder about my decision to not become a hermit. I mean, hermits have the life. Isolation, quiet, no stress.....what is not to love. Yeah yeah, hermits lack in socialization, but that is the plus side of it. Why do we have to be social creatures anyway? All socialization brings is greed, turmoil, and war. People don't necessarily have a natural urge to be kind to each other, but rather hurt one another and dominate.

Yes, I had a bad day if you haven't noticed. I am ready to find a hole and crawl into it; away from people's sour tongues and lack of empathy. But then of course, when you are all alone, you leave yourself no one to complain to. And what's the fun in that?

Octupus...the ultimate mother

When someone thinks of a great mother, June Clever is obviously out the door but our 8 legged sea friend the octopus takes the prize. Once she layes her eggs, she will stay with them in her underwater burrow for 3 weeks or so until the eggs hatch. Even if she is starving, she will not leave her burrow so by the time the babies swim out, the mother shortly dies from starvation. What a sacrifice the mother octopus gives for the survival of her offspring. It makes me wonder if i can be more like this ultimate octomom. When I feel like being selfish, can I put my wants to the back burner and keep my children's needs foremost?! When someone becomes a parent, they are no longer a single entity but now a guardian and teacher of new life. What a wonderful gift to give, ones own life..life of knowledge and love for ones own future in their child.
