Hugging FList, Making Tea, Lighting Candles

[qos]

I had a difficult night last night: waking often, and having weird, disjointed dreams -- but then I got up and read my Friends List this morning and found that just about everyone else had an ever rougher time -- and more than one are struggling with ongoing issues that were particularly acute last night.

So I'm sending out hugs and virtual tea to eveyone and declaring today "Be Gentle Day": let's all be gentle with ourselves, our loved ones, and our co-workers today, because it sounds like there's major unpleasantness going around.

Maybe the unpleasantness got to me first, because I feel much better this morning than I have for about the past week. All the fews in my daily divination were upright! *beams out good thoughts*

Hooray! Glad to read that things are going well!

What mam_adar said. Last night, I woke up a couple of times, because of cats wanting in and out, but that was about it. This morning, I feel much better than I have in a couple of weeks ... so maybe it DID hit us first.

Sorry it seems to have moved on, though.

Hope everyone who had a rough night is gentle with themselves today, and that everyone around them is likewise of gentle spirit.

Me three. The last two nights my allies have shut me down completely, and last night I slept the night through (very rare for me). I feel a lot better than I've felt in about two weeks. It's been a rough time.

Things that make you go hmmm...

Maybe there's some truth to the philosophy about empathic perception of human suffering. What with the tragic school shooting yesterday, you have to wonder if human emotion can actually manifest and bleed onto other people.

Myself, I just had a weird dream last night that involved something to do with having a baby who later turned into a tomato. I was very upset when some woman hollowed her out with the intention to serve her as a canape at a party. :( Rather unsettling.

That would unsettle me too!
