I'm sick and a few other items...

I'm sick. Yeah, I know - wah wah! Here it is a gorgeous day in Ohio and I'm indoors with an achy body, sore throat and a killer headache. I believe this illness is yet another fine gift from my son. He's so kind in sharing - I've taught him well. Maybe too well. But on an up note - I finally got the patio furniture and grill I've been wanting for the last 8 years. So not all is lost! With luck - I'll get to bed at a decent time and actually get some quality shut-eye.

The last few days certainly have not been good in the sleeping department. My nightly visits to school and to see Bill increased ten fold. I think it's because I've made or had another breakthrough and I'm not sure what to make of it. I mean, it's a good thing - I simply do not know what the next step should be in my new gift. Once I figure something out - or at least become more comfortable at talking about it, I'll post it here - give you guys the scoop!

A friend/client of mine was kind enough to provide some information on the Banyan tree (read April 6 - Finally got a spell done! for more on why this tree):

"It's a lucky tree and it's rare. I've seen some banyan trees in Thailand, mostly in the temple, but not big ones, just small young ones. People worship these trees because they protect them from the evil or make their wishes come true. The banyan trees also have religious history and the most popular one has been said that the prince from Nepal (some said from India) became a Buddha under a banyan tree after many obstacles during his monkhood."

Thanks Sabrina for this information!

I want to share more with you today - but my headache is simply making it impossible to keep my eyes open!

Until tomorrow...
Allie :)
