*Slow to moderate day. 

Don't like the darkness coming early, not going to lie at all. Just get me past my birthday, get me to Dec 21 and the days start getting longer again. I DO like that it is lighter in the mornings right now, it's nicer to not leave in the dark at the start of the day. :)

Still ignored by other friend. Realize that I must not be a friend. Gotta let it go. 

Always hurts when people walk away, but it happens often enough I guess I should be getting used to it. Kind of sad heading off to bed, but do some meditating and refocusing and feeling better. :)

Song:
Ray Of Light
Madonna


Have a good one
Until later
