Make a Wish!

Appreciation

I really like this card.  I can relate to the simple joy of walking along and encountering a beam of sunlight.  I would step into the beam and hold my arms out and relish the warmth and light.  I also really like the traditional Nine of Cups as represented in The Rider Waite-Smith deck. That dude is simply happy with his nine of cups, and this gal is simply happy to greet the light.  Since the Nine of Cups is the Wish Card, I wish for Joy, easy enough when I keep my thoughts full of gratitude.

Winter's goodbye

SPRING!

You sure wouldn't know it if you looked outside my windows.  Seven inches of snow yesterday and still some coming down this morning.  It started about 5pm and as I looked out the windows I saw the Robins hopping around trying to figure out what to do. One inch came down pretty quick and the trees were covered by 6pm.  The Robins arrived several weeks ago returning from their Winter retreats and now this.  Best thing to do today is Shelter-In-Place.  Stay warm and safe, just like these eggs in their nest.

I noticed that I started Sunday with this deck with an ace and each subsequent day 2-3-4.  I wonder if the cards are hinting at something?

Innovation

You never know how good you got it.

That sentence may or may not be true.  Some know how good Life is and appreciate the good days and the not so good days as well.  This card reminds me of my Mother telling my sisters and brothers how when she was a little girl she could remember helping her Mother and Grandmother make ketchup, letting us know how fortunate we had it with the bottled version.  I recently did the Whole30 with my Sister and Niece and one of things I made was Ketchup; couldn't use the store bought as sugar was one of the things we had to eliminate for the month.
If I get the opportunity to join a group today, I will take it. SPRING begins sometime today, during the  snow showers predicted this afternoon

Fortitude

A new start with each day.

I wonder at any point does the caterpillar think about the upcoming metamorphosis and think, no, 'I am going to stay just as I am? 
I have had at least 22362 new starts.  That's the number of days in my 61 plus years at 365 days a year and adding an extra day for leap years and the odd number of days since my birthday. Some of those days are very memorable, the others not so much.  I guess this Ace of Air/Swords has come along to remind me today, I am different than yesterday, even if it is just a tinge, and tomorrow - different again.  It makes me think of a line in Sharyn Woertz's post yesterday, "every step we take marks and deepens our unique path"

Talking Stick

A chance for you voice to be heard.

When I drew this card I heard "Fake News" I guess because we hear so much of what it is not true.  Back to what Dad said, don't believe everything you hear. Childhood truisms.  Disturbing that such a sacred item like a Talking Stick has been abandoned. 
Today I will really listen when someone has something to say.  Changing things always begins with oneself,

On the wing.

These birds have all gathered to listen to my drumming.  One of my wings is not working, maybe I should head South to the healing waters of the Ocean. 
How lovely it would be to wake up from your perch and say today I think I will do this and just do it.  To flow with a different rhythm and dance across the sky.  Still, I guess birds have their responsibilities. I realize I am rambling so I am singing off....
