Home from Hospital

My friend is being released from the hospital at 11am today. Because I have a car, a full-time job, vacation time, and a supportive boss, I have the happy duty of being the one to pick him up and take him home.

I talked to him twice yesterday, if only briefly. He sounds so much better than he did the day before. The tightness of pain mixed with determined stoicism and self-control was gone. He sounded like he was getting better.

I am so grateful.

Belated Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday (yesterday!) to my LJ godfather, thomryng -- a scholar, a gentleman, an incredibly creative artist, and an admirable man of faith.

You continue to inspire and amuse with your thoughts and words.

May this year be joyous and abundant in every possible way.

Birthday Oracle Request

Every year I do a tarot reading on my birthday -- but it hasn't happened this year, and is not likely to for a few more days. Besides: I've been in so much turmoil, I'm not trusting my inner senses very much, especially when reading on my own behalf.

So here's a birthday request to all the oracular types on my friends list.

Would you scry the coming year for me?

Whether you read tarot, runes, tea leaves, or whatever. . . I'm not asking for anything long and involved (unless you want to.)

Anyone who wants to participate, please leave the insights from your reading as comments on this post. I'll keep them screened, and then share if there are any common themes.

If you'd prefer not to be identified as the source of a reading, just let me know.

I know that this is an incredibly busy season.
Thank you in advance to anyone who wants to participate!

Since Folks Have Asked

Since a couple of people have asked, my birthday was last Friday, the 14th.

It was just as well you missed the drama. ;-)
