Greetings and welcome {smile} This is a place to post and share friendship around the world. {{All}} are welcome. Walk in Beauty always with love.... mermaid
Just want to pop in and acknowledge the wave of Pisces birthdays over the next week, Sarah's today. Happy Birthday Sarah!!
Trying to get my act together workwise, now that the multiple sclerosis is mostly remitting and I'm no longer on a medical benefit. Love the place I've moved into.
I was just shutting my computer down for the night and as I was closing my FB page I saw a post from {{elfina}}} who has come down with shingles!
Can you all send out some extra strong {{healing energies}}} her way... {{elfina}} am holding you in my thoughts for this to be a mild case as I have had them and it is not something I would wish on anyone! Sending more {[healing energies}} across the Pond to you dear friend and will be back in the morning.. til then
I received an email notification that Diana had left two posts here but can't find them so am going to copy paste them in from the emails.

Hello to my dear friends here. Before doing a little catch up with what's going on here at the "Willowden," thought I'd comment on the previous posts and do a 1-card reading for Hathor.
Hathor, sending out lots of healing & protective energies your way so that you remain cancer-free. These nasty health bits can certainly be frightening, vexing, and bothersome, and my heart goes out to you {{hugs}}. I'm not on Dapsone yet, though the rheumatologist stated she would consider trying that if the present course of treatment isn't showing enough progress. At the moment I'm on an anti-malarial would you believe? Odd they use that to treat Lupus, but if it works, then so much the better. It starts with a P and ends with a "quil", but not sure of the exact spelling at the moment. Still early on in the treatment course, so not sure how it's all going, though I'm doing blood work Friday and a follow up with her the first Monday in February, so should know more then.
Now for your 1 card reading. THE TEMPLE PATH was the card that surfaced for you. Keywords: Spiritual Purpose & Support Meaning: Receiving this card represents your own spiritual revolution. The winding path you are on leads to a blessed temple in a lovely garden, symbolizing the spiritual destiny your soul has had in mind in this lifetime. This card is here to tell you that what you're going through now is all part of your soul's process. You are on your karmic path and headed in the right direction, and the choices you make now are important for your personal growth and life lessons. The lights around the temple represent the spirit world - your family and friends, angels and guides, all the loving spirit helpers who long to assist you. Call upon them, and be open to their wisdom & inspiration. This is a wonderful, life-expanding time, so keep in mind your personal priorities as well as your spiritual connection. Following your higher intentions will help you move your life forward in dramatic ways, and connecting with spirit - and your higher self - will have a wonderful influence on all that you experience. AFFIRMATION: I open my heart to my spiritual truth and a deeper connection with spirit. Guidance and inspiration come freely and easily to me. Thought I would break this post into two parts at this juncture, with the remainder to follow in the post below this one."

Elfina: I'm so sorry to hear of your bout with shingles, especially following on the heels of your knees {{hugs}}. Sending boat loads of healing your way. I do hope Pat's surgery goes well, and that John's presence will help you both in your recoveries. It sounds like you will have some lovely renovations made to your home to loom forward to though, so hoping that all goes well.
Liz, sheesh, what's with the boiler problems? Really hoping you are able to get that all sorted out once and for all sweetie. Wondering if you or Paul are experiencing a harsh aspect to your Pluto and/or Mars at the moment, as that seems like a very Plutonian/Martian issue. I remember once when we had a major pipeline issue with the toilet, my Pluto was being whacked a good one, forcing s$@! to the surface so as to say {grin}. Still amazes me how accurate astrology is, even after 35 years of working with it. Yes, Lupus is a rather nasty autoimmune disease, particularly as it can assault anything in your body at any given time during a flareup. However, at least we now have the diagnosis and a treatment plan, so hopefully can keep organ damage as low as possible. I've been told to expect the painful joints, malaise, and fatigue to be nearly constant even when a "flare" isn't occurring, but I'm looking into alternative treatments to assist in an integrative approach, even incorporating crystals and gems. One day at a time {smile} Ed had his blood draw today for tomorrow's appointment with his liver specialist, so I'll let you all know what things look like as soon as we know.
All of the spring cleaning and renovations Liz and Elfina are doing has given me the itch to see about having a company come out and clean our rugs. Apartment rugs aren't the best quality and nearly three years of wear with two people and a large dog takes its toll! We watched "Guardians of the Galaxy" on dvd, and what fun we had! Impressive special effects, humor, action, and an upbeat story made for an entertaining movie. If you've not yet seen it, I recommend it for good ole escapist fun {grin}.
Okies, that's it for now, but sending love to all and hoping Kermit and Robynne are also doing ok.
I am copying a post that {{elfina}} left on her Facebook page so that there is a little update in here on her and {Pat}.
"Pat is home and resting with ice on his eyelid. The Dr. got all the cancer with very few stitches needed. He will be hurting for a few days . I am glad it is done. John took him as I stayed home because I'm still not able to wear my bra all the time as it hits on the blisters and they are red and sore. The Shingles meds seem to be working but it will be awhile before they heal. Still have pain from them but not as bad as the first few days."
Sending out more {{healing energies}} across the Pond to both of you dear {{elfina}}} and as I said on your FB page, try going without a bra and wearing a very loose pure silk shirt. It helped with my shingles when I had them although just a silk shirt in winter was a tad challenging! {grin}
I can't do a graphic as I've only a knook tablet with no art program since my laptop took a nose dive, but the wish for you to have the Happiest of Solar Returns remains nonetheless {smile}.
