For my Son, William

Medical Bills and Living Expenses for William

You can still help him by sending healing however you do it. Thank you for all the support and everything else you have given us during this scary, rough time in his life. WIlliam has asked to send you her personal thanks and gratitude for helping him get out of the hospital as quick as he did.

I send you and yours blessings of good health, love and a boat load of hugs!

July 17, 2023 Moon’s Current Phase and Northern Hemisphere’s Planetary Positions

Moon’s Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

Visit the July 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s New Moon Phase

The New Moon on July 17 has an illumination of 0%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On July 17 the Moon is 29.29 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

Some Humor for Your Day

I am sorry that once again my insomnia kept me from getting today’s posts up at the regular time. I was up for around 27 hours between very early yesterday morning until I finally feel asleep about 5 AM today. Worry about my son WIlliam kept me up last night as i went into a super fibromyalgia flare again. Stress and my adrenal glands just don’t work well together along with allergies not responding to my normal dose of allergy medicine. Yep, I was and am a train wreck waiting to happen at times and this is one of those times.

With having 5 children, 4 of which have children of their own and a partner. While WIlliam lives alone and has not experienced the ups and downs, joys and heart ache of being a parent or in a long-term relationship yet; he doesn’t quite understand my point of view worrying about him as he is healing from his, to me, horrific injury. In fact, because of my overprotective motherly concern in regard to his, having no cash flow right now due to his injury, granted it was at 2 AM and I should have waited until later to text him, he has asked me not to contact him for a while which put me in tears this morning and as I am typing this.

Maybe some of you can help me understand why a grown child, who just turn 39 years old in June, can’t understand why a mother or father worried about their child no matter how old they are? Or maybe I am overreacting to his situation because of my sleep being messed up and my brain not functioning as well as it should as a result of the lack of sleep? I would really like your point of view as you are further away from the love and worry, I feel for my youngest child. Am I overstepping my boundaries as a parent or not? Thank you very much in advance for your input on this!!

Well time to get posts up for you all today. I will only be doing a few of the regular daily posts so, I can get back to doing the northern hemisphere tomorrow which are the southern hemispheres today posts today. I could not have gotten through this last week if not for your encouragement, love, and support. Thank you for all you do to help me every day!!

Blessings of all positive thing in yours and your family’s lives. Sending each and every one of you that reads this a long-distance hug.
