Ephiphany 2009
When I was a child, I didn't understand why I couldn't just put the wise men with the rest of the crèche when we set it up. It was explained to me that the wise men weren't there the night that Jesus was born but arrived 12 days later which is the feast of the Epiphany. Which is when we would add the wise men to the crèche.
Epiphany also means a sudden intuitive leap to understanding, especially through an ordinary but striking occurrence. (I don't know why but an old joke just keep running through my head. You know that Eureka! Is Greek for the bath water is too hot.)
I have had a few epiphanies during my life. Most of them at those strange crossroads that occur during ones life. There comes just a moment of clarity that is so bright that I wonder why I haven't thought of it before. The answer was staring me right in the face and I was too preoccupied to notice. Once I act upon this information, I feel better and life seems to be moving in the correct direction again.
Tomorrow the kids go back to school and the house quiets down a bit as we return to the normal schedule of our lives. I am going to sit down and figure out what I can get done in the next month and then do it rather than thinking about doing it. Then I start with point A and work my way to Point B.
I am debating about going to Costume Con. I don't think I will have anything new to show there and I haven't figured out who to talk to about getting on panels. If I do go, I'll probably bring Ariel with me since she loves costuming too. I might even pull together the Doctor Who puppets for the doll show that they have. If I do, I'll have to rebuild a few and may be make a Matt Smith one as well.
I am grateful for epiphanies.

Perhaps I should start looking for an epiphany of my own.

The RC had been doing this more and more I think to take into account that most Catholics don't go to mass in the middle of the week anymore.
