Not much news tonight. The year 2011 is ticking away and the strange line of time demarcation that opens a new year is heading towards us. I think some people think the world is coming to an end of sorts. I don't, though in some ways much of the world's population seems to be doing it's darnedest to either blow ourselves up or pollute ourselves to death. Our media tells us all the bad stuff, but I think there is much good happening too. In any case, even though New Year's Eve is one of my least favorite of all occasions, I hope you have a good one, spent wrapped in the warmth of friends, or in solitude, whichever you prefer. However you spend it, may it bring hope and love and new possibilities - and even dreams come true - in its wake. Today will be the last reiki session for Emily (aka Cassie). I still haven't heard back from the Sanctuary, but she feels happier to me.
Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-gratitude, an effort to teach myself to embrace the idea that it's OK for me to want things and OK for me to have them and at the same time to inspire in the Creative Forces of the Universe, a desire to provide me with my heart's desires.)
