I'm weird, get over it

Today I'm thinking a lot about the easter holiday and how I no longer want or need to celebrate it in the traditional ways.  That makes me weird to the world.  Heck, that makes me weird to Christians.  I don't believe the resurrection happened on a Sunday morning at sunrise after Jesus was crucified on a Friday.  The Bible tells us 3 days.  Friday to Sunday at sunrise isn't even 2 days.  It's up to interpretation, I suppose.  Speaking of Sunday, that's another thing I don't get.  Isn't the Sabbath technically on Saturday if we go by our present day calendar?  Am I understanding this wrong?  The 7th day is the day of Sabbath, right?  When I look on my calendar that means Saturday.  Yeah, just another way the church has changed things.

My heart cries out to feel some change in our world, but I'm still in the changing ME stages, so I'm not even going to attempt to change anything else.

Hey, I did another weird thing today.  I made a dentist appt for our family.  That in itself isn't weird, but making an appt at a dentist that is over 2 hours away is a little odd when there's an abundance of them locally to choose from.  Just looking for someone who might listen to me and our concerns and this one looks like he might fit that bill.  A traditional dentist who eventually went the other way.  Turned his back on the myths of traditional dentistry.  I like him already.  I don't do anything "traditional", now do I?

I think the hardest part about realizing you're weird is knowing that my oldest child isn't going along with me.  She is at the stage in her life where she's making her own decisions.  The other children have no choice but to follow mom at this point.  At least they seem to like it.  I can see it's painful for her to watch me abandon all the things I once thought were "normal".  She doesn't agree with me on much of anything these days.  Not eating, health, spiritual matters, worldly matters.  If I like something, she hates it and vice versa.  It's hard for me as a mom.  This young woman that I adore and love isn't on the same path that I am and she thinks my path is really crazy.  I see her moving away from me a little more each day and I have to find a way to be ok with that.

That's a little of my weirdness today.
