Goodmorning Moon

Just wondering if anyone else has morning rituals. Every morning I say good morning to my dieties, and every night I say goodnight before I go to bed. Why? It's my way to remind myself that They and I are connected. Also a way to keep connected, to just basically say "Hi there. I know that You are there and just thought I'd let ya know that I'm still here."

I find it easier and easier these days to be less connected with the Cosmos since the day to day life stuff encroaches. Still, when I find myself looking up at the night sky, and I see billions of stars and the face of my Goddess...my breath exscapes me and I suddenly reconnect. Oddly enough, the most connection I ever feel with the Universe is at night when staring up into the sky. Perhaps that's why I'm more a "fly by the seat of your pants" kinda ritualist.

Still, it's nice to look up and see the face of my Goddess, to see the rising of my Lord Ra. I don't know many other faiths that can say that about what they believe in. And just that little 5 minutes I spend talking them in the morning before I open the doors to work seems to keep that ever fragile connection between us. And every day I say the same things to them. I tell them that I love them, I call to them with phrases of adoration, and I ask them to be with me now and forever.

So what do you say to your Dieties upon awakening, or going to bed?
