Now the Day is over . . .

"Now the day is over, night is drawing nigh . . .Shadows of the evening . . . steal across the sky . . . Dear Lord give your children, calm and sweet repose . . .With thy tend'rest blessing, may my eyelids close . . . "  (from a favorite childhood hymn - can't find author's name to give credit)

          

My friends, it's been an amazing day.  The truth is,I couldn't bear to watch the planes hit the towers again today.  I got a quick glimpse of the news before I went to the doctor and that was enough.  I spent most of the day reading your journals.  If I didn't comment, please forgive me.  Your memories, tributes and opinions meant so much to me.  We have all had such different experiences with a common thread running through them.  We are truly brothers and sisters in the most wonderful nation on earth. 

My friend Kathy (onestrangecat) sent me the tag you see in my side bar.  I just love tags with my name on them. Two years ago I didn't even know what a tag was . . .

I'm thinkin' about thinkin' about going to sleep pretty soon.  I pray that angels will guard your sleep as well.  Blessings and prayers, Penny
