tonight it is raining

I had a lot of insomnia last night,

I am more peaceful now and think I will sleep well tonight.

I read Rochester's Wife by DE Stevenson and really

enjoyed it and felt encouraged by it.

We went to the Akathist to the Mother of God tonight

and that was really nice.

Then to the diner for seafood pasta

and now home; 

it is raining steadily, big drops, dripping into water... 

peaceful as we are warm, dry in a peaceful home...

So many are on my heart,

so many with such suffering.

May God have mercy on us and console us.
