Default New Journey thread

Hi,

I want to taper off Gabapentin (Neurotin) if I can.
A few mins ago I took roughly 1.50 mgs (one and a half capsules) instead of my usual 200 mgs.

==========================

Wed afternoon (today) we have a full moon.
The changing cycles of the moon can represent this:

http://astrology.about.com/od/founda...p/FullMoon.htm

~The waxing moon (Wed morning) can represent new beginnings along with increasing health and wellbeing.

~The full moon (Wed afternoon) can be a time of the balance.
Supposedly, we can feel the full moon three days before and after - a six day period.

~The waning moon (Wed evening) has symbolized removing or dropping things one does not need, . . . clearing negative influences.

I probably should try to go to bed.
I have a hair appointment in the afternoon.

Mari

Bizi,

Steve,

You are so lucky you saw the Full Moon.

I am working on going to bed -- still up at 5:00 am.

Mari I know what you mean. A couple of months ago I was so wound up,and distressed about a problem,that I didn't sleep all night,all morning,and finally got to sleep at around 3:00 PM in the afternoon.

I called my councilor at around 9:00 AM,and told her that I could not make it to my appt. that day. BF

I saw the Moon the night before it was full. I didn't see it last night,but the night before. We had over three inches of rain on Thursday. So I saw it on Wednesday night when I went to the mail box. At least I think that it was Wednesday late at night.

I like to be low profile,and get the mail late at night,and I go to the post office mail box in front of the post office to mail my bills in late at night.

I live in a small town where people talk. I don't want them talking about me. I guess I'm a little paranoid. I'm not comfortable with people around. People look at me a lot. BF

Steve,

The moon was beautiful.

I used to like driving to the post office in the middle of the night when no one would bother me and everything felt peaceful.

Yes, I often used to do the same thing in my former seaside colony.
The main deal was there was no vying for a parking place!!
