Thanks for the reminder Elizabeth. I will look out for the moon tonight when the clouds have gone.

Might even try to welcome the sun tomorrow, if awake on time.

As for the advice --- earlier someone told me something that had been said about my family.

I was (and still am ) annoyed and offended by the reported story (which is not true).
In fact, have been sitting fuming for a while.


Well I know that I can't settle this peacefully, so I WILL let it go.

I am not annoyed with the person who told me what had been said. The other person is not worth the bother.

Peacefully yours,

Tess (with a smile)
So I will relax and enjoy the solstice.

Hello Elizabeth

Hope you are ok today?

Thanks for the information and advice.

The sun has shone all day today, but now the sky is so dark and the rain is lashing down here in Derbyshire!.

Hoping for another sunny day tomorrow

Take care

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are keeping well and doing okay.

The Summer Solstice or Litha is the celebration of the longest day of the year when the hours of the night and day are meant to be of equal length.

The festival marks the abundance of summer and looking forward to warmer days.

Any event or celebration is well starred. As there is so much rain at present,
things may have to be adapted but you can still celebrate.

The Summer Solstice is in the astrological sign of Pisces.
Although the full moon is waning, it can still be seen very clearly lighting up the night sky.


You may find that you are extra sensitive or think about spiritual matters.

Try to settle any outstanding disputes peacefully. If you cannot, let them go.

Check your security at home, work and for yourself.
Don't be hyper-vigilant, just follow sensible rules to be safe.

Take gentle care all
Very best wishes
xx
