In the wasteland of shattered dreams and lost lotteries, the hopes and dreams of everyone at times seem hopeless. When you have done all you possibly can to revive a mariage, business, partnership, friendship, love relationships or family feud we must give up and move on to bigger and better hopes and dreams with better planning, prayer and faith, to make our hopes hopeful, and our dreams come true putting the power of Heaven to fuel our faith in the achievement and manifestation of our greatest dreams and desires. Yes, never disbelieve in yourself or your dreams as they are you, who you are and what your future will be. Your dreams are you and if they benefit Mankind they will benefit you however, if what you desire is revenge, hatred or worse then you have no future unless it is prison or death.

So hope onward and upward and your present and future will manfifest into your desired dreams. See the sun and moon each day as a symbol of Heavenly Hope whose light shines on everyone if we open our eyes to see it.

It is 1:04 PM on the hottest day of the year in Connecticut with temperature already over 100 degrees. I have taken a different strategy this year coping with the excessive heat and remain as cool and calm as possible by taking on nothing stressful or anxiety building, avoiding crowded stores or waiting in line at a gas station, training my attention to pleasant thoughts, like my thankfulness for airconditioning. My phone is muted and I noticed fewer spam calls today. One appreciated message I recieved from my publishing agent encouraging the completion of my new book.

I welcome all to try and enjoy the day out of the raging heat and burning sun and just chill if you can and know one more day of this awful heat wave is coming tomorrow as well. A plunge in a lake or ocean is cool until you come out and gasp for air and sweat. One more day this week and temperatures return to something normal in the 70s and 80s.

As a precaustion for all Americans about to experience excessive heat over 100 degrees this week and elsewhere around the world I wish to warn all of Heat Stroke symtoms because I had it last summer and didn’t realize until I researched the symptoms on Google what illness I had. First symptom is nausea, second is sudden exhaustion that lasts for several days. The following text is a discription of Heat Stroke from Google. I survived the stroke after several days recovering in air conditioning and rest. Consider this post as a Public Service Announcement for all who will be experiencing the excessive heat in the next several days.

” Heat stroke is a medical emergency characterized by a dangerously high body temperature (usually 104°F or 40°C or higher) and altered mental status, such as confusion, seizures, or loss of consciousness. Other symptoms include hot, dry skin (or excessive sweating in exertional heat stroke), rapid pulse, rapid breathing, and nausea or vomiting. Prompt medical attention is crucial to prevent severe complications or death. Key Symptoms of Heat Stroke: “

1:06 AM hope all are well. I AM pleased tonight as I made it through another day. It was an odd day but it had its merits. As I age I do slow down and get somewhat forgetful but I had other issues on my mind 50 years ago and forgot things then. In the Fall and Winter of life all things change. Priorities change, people change, friends change or leave and move away. Spouses pass away, family members also. We are pushed into solitude which becomes times of soul searching. As we age past our 60s and 70s we often reflect on our past life with amusement or sorrow. We become targets for scammers who bait us with prizes, relationships, friendships. One of the biggest scams recently is the Afordable Care Act. A pure rip off for the elderly. I noticed there are no more television ads promoting these fraudulent insurance companies. As we get older every crook and scammer is out to get us and steal our life savings. If I were a violent man I would deal with these fraudsters differently but, as a man who prefers peace and prayer I ask God to protect me and alert me to all criminals who seem to be multiplying and plaguing the world today. Keep safe my friends and stay well and know if something seems too good to be true it is a fraud.

Welcome my After Midnight Friends. It is 3:10 AM as I write this post. I have noticed over the past few weeks there are more After Midnight Friends joining me from around the world. I thank all of you for your late night interest. There is one constant thought I have all day long and remains persistent in the late night hours. It is the hope and prayer of living another day. I awake happy every morning that another night has passed and look forward to another day of activity and creativity. As a writer and photographer and artist I become enthused with my work at all hours of the day. Late night seems to be my most creative time but the day involves thoughts of productivity, organization, business contacts, trips to the post office, grocery store, city dump, etc. all daily duties that make me move into an organized day and keep my world from falling into chaos. I Am certain everyone reading this tonight or today may be going through the same motions and thought of another day. Let us all be thankful that we may recieve another day to live in a good way. I see only peace, love, prosperity and hope for the new day to come. I wish all my readers the same, may all your After Midnight Thoughts be pleasant and may you rest well.

Yesterday is gone and today is here but without sunlight. Let the moon be our guide and spirit be our host for the sleepless hours. Ask for inspiration, love, compassion and hope. These are the wishes for a new day. God speaks to us all but so few listen. He says believe in a new day of hope and happiness. So many suffer it seems almost impossible for relief of their suffering. The one survivor of the Indian plane crash that killed 240 passengers this week must be reeling from God’s blessing him with life. Why me must he ask God but, only he can answer that. That so many of us are well and happy without injury or dispair. God blesses those who believe in him, see his vision for the future and pursue their course to Ascension. Those who do not or refuse to believe God exists are fools and their fates are riddled in ruin. Have faith that tomorrow will be wonderful, and you will manifest all you desire. I look forward to the sun rising today though it is 2:25 AM and darkness is all around me. Turn on a lamplight of faith that tomorrow will be a good day of promise and know God exists for us and created us. His frustration with humanity must be overwhelming but he will not give up and allow all who believe in him and have compassion for his creation will Ascend and be with him forever.

Everyone has doubts. What are the odds of waking up tomorrow? What are the odds of winning a mutimillion dollar lottery? What are the odds of meeting the perfect soul mate or Twin flame and living out the rest of our lives together in bliss? All I doubt is simply a riddle of infinity. I doubt very little these days. Politically I doubt Trump and his team of cohorts will survive the 2026 midterms without being impeached or worse. I doubt that the “No King Protest” on Saturday will humiliate Trump and bring him to his knees in his birthday parade of thousands of military men and women, and millions of Americans who hate him. I will contain my doubt to all I cannot control and hope all I wish for comes true.
