A mile

I drew the Nine of Pentacles from the Green Witch Tarot and decided to compare it with the Rider Waite-Smith version.  Seemingly they are completely different, but yet, satisfaction, security, and appreciation of the life that one is living is apparent in both.  Sometimes I wonder of the roads not taken.  I can speculate but unless one walked the journey of the other we/I don't really know. 
Be happy in the moment, that is really all we have.

What's Next

What's Next?  What a great question.  I just heard it on t.v. 
What's Next?  Aspire to be more than you are now. Learn more, do more, experience more, try more, be more. 
At the top of your game? Learn a new game.

The Hanged Man

Perspective.  We do not have to sacrifice ourselves to get something in return.  Life is for living and there are good days and not so good days.  Hang around long enough and enjoy and experience both.





The interpretation of the Hanged Man did not inspire me or make any sense.

Six and Seven

Six and Seven, all good girls go to heaven.

Whatever the day brings I am going to stand my ground.  Call me misbehaved, fine by me.

Who's that girl?

The last few weeks I have found myself lounging around; yesterday I laid down and woke up almost two hours later. What?  I never was one for naps.  I started taking them during my recovery, but that was years ago.  I think I am in my pre-retirement years and if so, I better find something more for me to do than two hour naps.  I often wonder why so many continue working after reaching retirement age? Some maybe cause financially they need too, some because they think the world will not go one without them, and some maybe cause they take too many naps. 
I no longer want to work that many hours, I might need to, but again I don't want to. Still after 45 years I wonder if not, I might find myself in a crisis of identity.

Recognition

Well it's down to last few months of 2018.  As I set and study this card I am thinking it is time to reflect on what has brought me to this moment, this day, this year.  Recognition of this time and place.  Gratitude for what I have and what I still may accomplish.  I am reading a trilogy of three women and their families and tribulations at the turn of the last century.  One of them is a peasant, poor, and papist.  It amazes me that in order to be godly you were supposed to be poor. I have been without and I have set in this garden of plenty and I will tell you having more is easier and not necessarily less godly.  Today I will appreciate my garden of plenty and acknowledge my blessings.




The Goddess Tarot

You don't say.

I am arriving at that place in life that authoritative men just don't get under my skin as much.  I have resisted and rejected people, most especially men who tell me what to do.  Mostly when I draw a king, I mentally determine that no one will tell me what to do that day.  This King of Swords with is idealistic though not realistic, opinion(s) will not hold sway for me.  And further more I am not going to let him annoy me.  He is who he is and though he thinks he knows what's best for others, he does not. Well at least not all the time.
