It crosses the sky with the sun during the day. This photo shows an extremely thin <em>young</em> moon, caught March 28, 2017 by Eliot Herman in Tucson. Look for the young moon to set just behind the sun later this week.</td>

<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2731" style="text-align: left;">Tess was a precocious eight year old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money. They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn’t have the money for the doctor bills and our house.</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2732">Only a very costly surgery could save him now and it was looking like there was no-one to loan them the money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother with whispered desperation, “Only a miracle can save him now.”</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2733">Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes.<span id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2734"></span><span id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2735" style="font-size: 16px;">Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall’s Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.</span></div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2736">She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good.</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2737">Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2738">“And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2739">“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really, really sick… and I want to buy a miracle.”</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2740">“I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist.</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2741">“His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2742">“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, softening a little. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.”</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2743">The pharmacist’s brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does you brother need?”</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2744">“I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up. “I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2745">“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered barely audibly. “And it’s all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to.</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2746">“Well, what a coincidence,” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents – the exact price of a miracle for little brothers.” He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2747">That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specialising in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed without charge and it wasn’t long until Andrew was home again and doing well. Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place.</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2748">“That surgery,” her Mom whispered. “was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?”</div>
<div id="yiv4348568770yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487848025124_2749">Tess smiled.

They are continuously doing something or being with someone, distracting themselves in all sorts of ways, just so they won’t experience a moment of aloneness.</div>
<div id="yiv3093766643yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482152976227_4938" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; line-height: 23px;"> </div>

<div id="yiv3093766643yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482152976227_4942" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; line-height: 23px;">Since we were children, many of us had to go through difficulties in life, some of which caused us immense suffering and were emotionally traumatic. Later on, in order to avoid experiencing any further suffering, many of us tried our best to repress our emotions that are associated with those traumatic experiences. But no matter how much we repressed them, they are still hidden deep inside our psyche, calling us to pay attention to them all the time, but we choose to not even stop for a moment and focus on them. We are so afraid to come in contact with our emotional world that we try to avoid it in any way possible.</div>
<div id="yiv3093766643yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482152976227_4943" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; line-height: 23px;">In essence, we are trying to escape from ourselves. Not surprisingly, whenever we happen to find ourselves alone and unoccupied, we quickly start to feel uncomfortable. To avoid that discomfort, we rush to do something that will distract us from ourselves. This is the main reason why so many people watch <a id="yiv3093766643yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482152976227_4944" style="color: #4e4e4e; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://track.mlsend3.com/link/c/YT01MjAxNzkzODc0MDA3MjAzNjQmYz1vMmQ3JmU9NDAxMCZiPTc0NTMwODI1JmQ9bzdxNGM4aA==.m01KZApOnmhK_V1FuFp8SDKip4Yd0YWCviZSSyApwZ4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" name="yiv3093766643yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482152976227_4944">TV</a> for hours without end or mindlessly surf on the internet. Or why so many people overwork. Or why so many want to be constantly in the presence of others. This also explains why before going to bed at night, many of us consume sleeping pills, so as to avoid confronting the repressed, darker part of our psyche. We are so scared of our very selves that we are constantly somewhere between keeping our minds occupied and keeping our minds shut.</div>

We’ll always be insecure, stressed, depressed. That’s why, no matter how painful coming in contact with our deeper selves might be, we should gather courage in our hearts to take a look within, and then our life will be totally transformed, in an incredibly positive way.</div>

Every day, make it a habit to spend some time on your own (I’d recommend at least 30 minutes). Find a silent room in your house to stay, sit on a chair or lie on a bed, turn off any electronic devices, and be sure to let the people close to you know that in this period of time you don’t want to be disturbed.</div>
<div id="yiv3093766643yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482152976227_4968" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; line-height: 23px;">While all alone, in silence, start paying attention to your sensations, feelings, and thoughts. If you’ve not done such a thing for a long time, chances are that you will soon start feeling uneasy — your body might start shaking, disturbing emotions might be felt and unwanted memories might pop up. If and when this happens, don’t rush to escape from what’s happening, no matter how scary it might seem. Stay there, mindful of anything that you’re experiencing, physically, emotionally, and mentally.</div>
<div id="yiv3093766643yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482152976227_4969" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; line-height: 23px;">As I mentioned already, what most people are afraid to encounter is their past traumatic experiences. But when you are all alone, doing nothing but being attentive, hidden memories are bound to jump into your awareness, and it’s very likely that they will awaken a lot of repressed emotions, which might make you burst into tears, feel sadness, and bring myriads of thoughts that will agitate your mind. When, however, all these memories are brought into the light of consciousness, a healing process starts taking place. The divided mind begins to come together. The darker side of your psyche merges with the brighter one. And then, through that process, you start experiencing inner harmony. You feel physically relaxed, emotionally cleansed and mentally refreshed. You become revitalized, reborn into a healthier state of being.</div>
<div id="yiv3093766643yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482152976227_4970" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; line-height: 23px;">By choosing to spend time alone on a regular basis, you’ll learn to live at peace with yourself. You will stop distracting your mind with superficial things that are <a id="yiv3093766643yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482152976227_4971" style="color: #4e4e4e; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://track.mlsend3.com/link/c/YT01MjAxNzkzODc0MDA3MjAzNjQmYz1vMmQ3JmU9NDAxMCZiPTc0NTMwODI5JmQ9aTVkMWk0Zw==.Tlvbb33Y4CaJdmzpP5PIsSMkO6YFWxRdOhicLEvGSf0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" name="yiv3093766643yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1482152976227_4971">wasting your time</a> and and energy, and you will not want to shut yourself from life — on the contrary, you’ll be able to experience each and every moment to the fullest, squeezing the juice out of life, without feeling chained to the burdensome fears of your past. You will stop trying to hide your deepest parts of your psyche from yourself and those around you by pretending to be someone you are not — you will feel free to express your authenticity, finding that there’s nothing left to hide.</div>

<p style="text-align: center;">So many times we wonder why our lives have taken the turn that they have, and we remember the hopes and dreams of our childhood that some how changed to other realities. Such has been my own story in life, and as I get older, I find I am not alone.<br/> I grew up in an average low-income home, ample but frugal and improvising and creative. We always had what we needed. As I became a young woman, I dreamed of prince charming, four children -- the American Dream. I even did my college term paper on a story by Sinclair Lewis and his book about the same, hopes and dreams.<br/> As time passed, I married, had two children that were miracles and as that marriage ended, I had hopes and dreams for a better tomorrow.<br/> I remarried later on and, for over twenty years, I remained in a very violent, abusive, adulterous marriage because I didn't want another failure. I prayed often. I asked God for insight and wisdom and forgiveness for my errors in judgment. He listened. He guided. He gave me two more children by adoption along the way. Two beautiful babies were placed in our care by an unwed teenage mother. It didn't save this marriage either. My hopes dreams and prayers were only practically answered.<br/> Three years ago, after a most violent night, I prayed to the angels above and wrote in my journal. I asked God to show me by some way that it was alright to seek safety with my daughters (my other children were grown by now), and to forgive me for my failure once again. I didn't want a divorce. I didn't want to believe the things I knew were true about my husband. I still loved him. I was in such denial about everything.<br/> I awoke the next morning and was led to go find a "for sale" sign and place it in our yard. A short time later, the house sold. Another smaller one became available and I was able to purchase it.<br/> My children were so supportive, especially Angel, the youngest. She had always been so aware of my feelings when no one else had ever been.<br/> She encouraged and gave such words of wisdom (she was twelve years old at the time). God provided a new job paying more money than I had ever made. He provided mentors and encouragement from so many sources. He gave us a beautiful home. My hopes dreams and prayers to the angels above were certainly being answered.<br/> I was blessed to meet a new man that had in some ways been in my life for more than twenty years. I had known his family, not him. He came along suddenly and showed me that I was worthy of respect and love.<br/> We were married recently and one day I was driving along our beautiful country road to our farm. I realized that God had given me a guardian angel to share my life with. He gave me my beautiful children. He gave me a husband that I had lost hope in ever finding.<br/> I suddenly came to the realization that my life was what I had hoped for. It had to take turns along the way to get there. I even realized that I had to have the bad relationships to allow me to mother my beautiful adopted daughters. They are one of the greatest blessings of my life and they needed me.<br/> Their adopted father is not in their life and God knew that would happen too.<br/> He knows all and He knows why our perils are to improve us -- not to impair us.<br/> Believe, have hope, and your dreams n prayers will be heard.</p>

One day there came a storm in the sea and the island was about to drown .Every feeling was scared but Love made a boat to escape. All the feelings jumped in the boat except for one feeling. Love got down to see who it was…it was Ego! Love tried & tried but Ego didn’t move. Everyone asked Love to leave Ego & come in the boat but Love was meant to Love. It remained with Ego. All other feelings were left alive but Love died because of Ego!<br/> Think over it.

It tells of a girl named Maria and her little brother Pablo. They were very poor but always looked forward to the Christmas festival. Each year a large manger scene was set up in the village church, and the days before Christmas were filled with parades and parties. The two children loved Christmas, but were always saddened because they had no money to buy presents. They especially wished that they could give something to the church for the Baby Jesus. But they had nothing.<br/>
One Christmas Eve, Maria and Pablo set out for church to attend the service. On their way they picked some weeds growing along the roadside and decided to take them as their gift to the Baby Jesus in the manger scene. Of course they were teased by other children when they arrived with their gift, but they said nothing for they knew they had given what they could. Maria and Pablo began placing the green plants around the manger and miraculously, the green top leaves turned into bright red petals, and soon the manger was surrounded by beautiful star-like flowers and so we see them today.</p> I can be admin of my group please?tag:themesbyhippy.ning.com,2012-12-25:3490552:Topic:4075762012-12-25T02:42:53.082ZRosas † Negrashttp://themesbyhippy.ning.com/profile/RosasNegras606
