Istijlál (Majesty), 8 Núr (Light) 177 B.E. Thursday, June 11, 2020 Day 11 entry for "The Bard's Hall Contest" . It's Thankful Thursday! It's time to make a gratitude list of everything I have to be thankful for. What am I thankful for today, June 11, 2020? One thing I'm thankful for is that I'm almost through another episode of "the dark night of my soul", and can see a distant light breaking on the horizon. An episode of "the dark night of my soul" can be brought on by almost anything. I'm not sure what brought on this episode. I'm past the wanting to cry mood, and I've started to see the light filtering through the dark clouds of despair. I am thankful that my sister came to visit me yesterday, June 10. We had a nice talk and I printed off something for her from the DMV. Sometimes I wish we were closer, but I'm not sure that is going to happen. I'm not going to move to Searchlight and I doubt she'll move to Las Vegas, so the only thing I can do is pray for her. Footnotes |
