    I hope you had a good night and that your day goes well today.

    Probably due to the full moon, work was crazy last night,
    total chaos and I had to work far into the next shift as well,
    and have to go back this morning to get my stats in before
    the report is collated.

    I missed the Nightly Mission for the first time, and even
    though it doesn't amount to much, I am sorry about that.

    I hope you had a good day.

    Long day today. Very long.

    Last night someone said they saw over 20 serious wrecks
    within a 5 mile stretch of road, separate wrecks, during
    a really hard storm. Glad I wasn't driving there.

    The moon, as far as I am concerned is still bigl enough
    for me to call it full. I am glad the dark moon doesn't
    seem to last as long...I would be in trouble.

    I hope you are enjoying the night. It's Friday, afterall.


    Another work day tomorrow. This is going to be a very
    very busy month for me.


    To all who will sleep on this side of the world,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Sleep warm and dream
    the type of dreams tonight
    that make you smile and
    brighten up your life.

    Wake up in the morning
    with that same smile
    on your face.

    G'Night!

    I hope you had a good day.

    And have an even better night.

    Long day for me, but still a good day.

    It didn't rain today. 1st time in awhile. The road to my
    house has many potholes, thanks to all the water that
    ran across it. And the road to where I work is even
    worse. I thought I did in my car's oil pan last night,
    when I hit a deep rut that went across the road that
    wasn't there the last time I drove the road, but so
    far looks like it's ok.

    Have some fun tonight.


    To all who sleep on this side of the world,

    The Nightly Mission:

    May the Goddess or God of your choice
    be in you tonight and stay there as long
    as you have need.

    Wake up tomorrow and shine.

    Blessings!

    G'Night!

    I hope you had a good day.

    Once again, twice now in the last couple of days,
    the power was off in the area this morning.

    Since I left the a/c on fairly low all night, the
    house stayed cool enough, but...no computer.
    And...maybe worse yet...no coffee, either. So
    I drove to MacDonald's for an iced coffee.

    It was a nice day. No rain. I sat for a short
    while on the porch before it got too hot, and
    the birds and butterflies were out. It was
    nice to see them. No lizards to be seen,
    though.

    August. The hottest month. No hurricanes
    to date. Maybe the constant rain has some-
    thing to do with that?

    The moon wanes and the energy drops.

    I have been told (yes, I have friends like
    this) that my strength comes from fire and
    water, and thus I am often in conflict. The
    two normally mix only during a lightning
    storm. And where did I move? Lightning
    capital of the world. Yet it is the moon that
    seems to affect me the most. Strange...

    Another strange thing...I have moved
    several times. Each time, unknowingly as
    far as I can tell, I have moved to an area
    where many people were slaughtered all
    at once.

    Enough of the weird stuff.

    Or maybe more of it, no?


    To all who sleep on this side of the world,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Ground yourself before going to bed
    and you'll sleep better.

    It is easy to do. Stand up and
    visualize the rain washing all of the
    day's negative energy down off your
    body like the shower washes off soap,
    only through your body as well as
    without. See it washing the energy
    down into the ground, until it is all
    gone. You may even feel this
    happening.

    You should feel lighter.

    When you wake up tomorrow, you
    can do the same thing, especially if
    you have had bad dreams. Your
    day might go a little better.

    Blessings,

    G'Night!

    I hope you had a good day and the rest of the night goes well.

    This has been a frustrating and difficult day for me.

    I lost my computer. I was not sure I could get the old
    one up and running and needed assistance from a help
    line to get the modem working. As is typical, I suppose,
    I was on hold for ages and got disconnected twice. With
    more holds to follow.

    I think I lost a friend, too.


    To all who sleep tonight on this side of the world,

    The Nightly Mission:

    When all is confusion
    and dark, remember
    that the world keeps
    right on turning.

    Pick yourself up and
    keep on with your life.
    Sleep until the morning
    when things may look
    different.

    G'Night.

    I hope you had a good day and that the night keeps you safe.


    To all who sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Sleep safely in the arms of
    one who cares; lacking that
    sleep with no pain or fear.

    Wake up tomorrow.

    G'Night.

    Still using my old computer.

    Today was a good day. And a good night, so far, too.

    A friend who lives an hour or so away tells me a bad
    storm is headed this way, so I expect I'll lose power
    again shortly. It's not such a big deal at night. The
    night is comparatively cool.


    To all who sleep tonight on this side of the world,

    The Nightly Mission:

    When things seem like the worst
    they could get...that means things
    are going to get better, soon. And
    sometimes in surprising ways.

    Sleep well tonight, safe and warm.

    Wake up tomorrow with a smile
    somewhere close...maybe on your
    own face.

    Blessings,

    G'Night!

    I hope you had a good day and that the night goes well.

    My old computer is also not working now.

    I drove to work today in a thunderstorm behind someone
    pulling a trailer with one of those things with a blade
    on the front, no way to pass, and he had no taillights,
    either. I did not swear, which was unusual.

    The road to work is worse, deeper ruts, and a new very
    large and deep pothole, all from the last 2 storms that came
    through. I am still not leaking oil, which is a miracle.


    To all who will sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Take time for yourself,
    sleep soundly and dream sweet.
    Wake up tomorrow and be happy.

    Blessings,

    G'Night!

    I hope you had a good day and the night finishes well.

    I have new computer. Now I have to figure out how to
    get the portraits off the old one and into the new one.

    It has Vista. And I haven't a clue how to work most of
    what it does. Another learning experience. They just
    don't quit. Some days, that's good...very good indeed!

    Other days? Well, I'm not talking about the other days.

    I cannot get my favorite internet radio station to play.
    Someone turned me on to Radio Gothic, which does
    play...so now I am learning to like um music I didn't
    think I would.

    I saw a little lizard on my porch again when I came
    home last night. And a couple of tree frogs. No
    owl, though.


    To all who will sleep...eventually...on this side of the earth tonight,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Fly as high as you can,
    even if you burn off
    all your feathers...it's
    worth it.

    Make sure you have a
    safety net first...just in
    case. The fall is hard,
    and you wouldn't want
    to break your wings.

    Unless, of course, you
    like being earth-bound.

    Sleep well and try flying
    some in your dreams.

    Maybe bring some of
    that into the next day
    when you wake up.

    Blessings,

    G'Night!

    It rained off and on most of the day again.

    There is just no possible way we are still in a drought.

    Had to cut off my fingernails in order to use this laptop.


    To all who will sleep tonight on this side of the planet,

    The Nightly Mission:

    The night comes with it's silence
    and one must listen hard to catch
    the message that it brings, as it
    is often sent in dreams or to the
    heart, rather than through the
    normal channels.

    Sleep warm, wrapped in your
    dreams. Wake up in the morning
    without fear.

    Blessings,

    G'Night.

    I hope you had a good day and enjoyed the passing night.

    Thank you, TS Claudette for another overcast and rainy day.

    I should be grateful it wasn't a hurricane.

    The moon slivers down to a crescent and will soon be dark. Chaos is already
    thriving, and I do not look forward to working tomorrow. All through the day,
    the Lady Inanna displayed her sense of humor, sending equal amounts of fire
    and water to bless those she favors. She has a wicked sense of humor. Inanna
    rides in on chaos, and certainly leaves it in her wake. The wind that precedes
    her rings the bells in all the towers, warning those who stand in her path to run
    for cover. One hardly knows whether to laugh, sigh or cry. Perhaps this one
    will turn to the Lady of Mercy instead (said under the breath, cautiously).


    To all who sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Drown in sleep, sinking down
    through the currents to where
    the best dreams are found,
    sending bright bubbles to the
    surface, sparkling and shining
    on the night's black seas.

    Wake up in clarity.

    Blessings,

    G'Night.

    I hope you had a good day and that the night has blessed you with happiness.

    The moon continues to decrease.

    I got a rare piece of luck today and didn't have to work.
    I think someone noticed how many hours they gave me.

    Life has been an interesting mix of late and shows every
    indication that it will continue that way for awhile. I feel
    like a rowboat. Maybe a kayak is a better term. That's
    what I get, probably, for likening my 'path' to a river.
    Whoever heard of a continuously smooth and placid river?
    Not I. And I'd be bored if it was.


    To all who sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

    The Nightly Mission:

    Gather all the warmth to you
    that you can find. Breathe.
    Grow wings in your sleep
    and meet the morning wind
    without fear.

    G'Night.

    Three Words

    The wind
    out of the north
    comes sweeping around my
    house bearing cold in it's arms.
    It has no heart.

    I hear
    three words over
    and over again
    in the soughing at the windows.
    It will not stop.

    I run
    from window to window
    closing the way in, lock
    and lean against the door.
    It does no good.

    The wind
    slams into my refuge.
    slams again and again,
    shatters it into pieces.
    It falls apart.

    I stand
    in the middle
    of nothing, the anchor
    gone, my hands over my ears.
    It takes my heart.

    I hope you had a good day.

    I hope the night found you well.

    I suppose the moon must be dark by now, I haven't looked.

    Sleep tonight.
    Wake up tomorrow.
