| Thursday Mornings Dream ... I was dreaming of Freddy Krueger. He was walking down the alleyway, hands extended, scratching either wall with his claws, looking as menacing as possible, until ... until ... he started singing Lords of Acids ' I Sit on Acid' and I find that to be the most disturbing part. If you're not familiar with the song, let me post the lyrics so you can get the full picture... ( The lyrics are rated R )- Going through the motions:discontent

| Hi, North America’s bats are in trouble, and I need your help to save them. A mysterious disease called white-nose syndrome has already claimed the lives of an estimated one million of these often misunderstood flying mammals. The spread of this terrible disease shows now sign of slowing, with white-nose syndrome killing nearly 100% of the bats at some hibernating sites. Please help me save our bats from this emerging disease by urging your U.S. Representative and Senators to take decisive action to fight white nose syndrome and save bats. It’s easy to take help. Just send your message online at: http://action.defenders.org/actforbatsThe survival of several species is at stake. White-nose syndrome could precipitate the demise of several species of bats in the United States before scientists have a chance to determine the cause and a possible cure for white nose syndrome. Unchecked, white nose syndrome could also result in the loss of crucial, economically important ecological services freely provided to humans by bats, and the increased costs to farmers, other businesses, and various levels of government, if bats are no longer present to keep insect populations under control. Our bats are an important part of healthy ecosystems, eating insects like mosquitoes that can carry West Nile Virus and other pathogens and consuming other bugs that can threaten our forests and crops. We can save these helpful animals! Please join me in taking action online at: http://action.defenders.org/actforbatsThanks for helping! | |

| ~ Dancing Faeries ~
If there’s one thing faeries are good at, it’s dancing. They are light, airy, graceful creatures with an innate sense of music and motion. They infuse every dance with joy and beauty. You can call on the Fey to help improve your skill at any type of dance. For best results, invoke them regularly while practicing and also before dancing at a ritual or other public event. This spell is anchored to a green ribbon strung with bells. Tie the bells to your ankle or wrist, and say:
Faery charm and Faery grace
Guide my every step and pace.
Lithe and lively be my feet
As they’re tapping out the beat.
Laughing faeries twirl and prance:
Let their beauty fill my dance.
Turn on the music and dance the night away! You’ll be as alluring as a faery yourself.

| | Your Word is "Fearless" |  You see life as your one chance to experience everything, and you just go for it!
You believe the biggest risk is being afraid and missing out on something amazing.
Sometimes your fearlessness means you're daring. You enjoy risky activities.
And sometimes your fearlessness means you're courageous. You're brave enough to do the right thing, even when it's scary. |

| ~ Reduce a Stressful Situation ~ When facing a particularly stressful situation, use this spell in conjunction with mundane efforts to help ease the tension. You’ll need a well-ventilated area, a piece of paper, pen, fireproof cauldron, a calming essential oil (such as lavender or ylang-ylang), and a cotton ball. Write down things that you have been stressed about, pouring them into your letter. Then, tear the paper into tiny pieces and place them in your cauldron. Light the last piece of paper on fire and drop it in with the other papers. As you see them burning, visualize the stressful situation leaving you. Once the fire is completely out, retreat to a calm area of your home. Place one or two drops of oil onto the cotton ball, inhale the scent and say, “All is well.” Meditate, write in your journal, or listen to soothing music to further reduce your stress. by.....

| -- written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s --
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. | |

| Do you know what it means to miss new orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know Im not wrong... this feelings gettin stronger
The longer, I stay away
Miss them moss covered vines...the tall sugar pines
Where mockin birds used to sing
And Id like to see that lazy mississippi...hurryin into spring
The moonlight on the bayou.......a creole tune.... that fills the air
I dream... about magnolias in bloom......and Im wishin I was there
Do you know what it means to miss new orleans? - Going through the motions:restless

| Theres a moon over bourbon street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
Ive no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While theres a moon over bourbon street
It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can only show my face at noon
And youll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
Ive the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While theres a moon over bourbon street
She walks everyday through the streets of new orleans
Shes innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light
How could I be this way when I pray to God above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While theres a moon over bourbon street - Going through the motions:excited
