Pearls of wisdom

She seems to be offering pearls of wisdom to me.  What I do with them?  What we all do with them, is entirely up to ourselves.  Some work and some don't and some are stored on a shelf to be used another day or forgotten entirely.  Today when someone offers me one, I will pay attention and give it the consideration it is due.

Among us

Angels among us? You betcha.  This last week I have been working with a couple that I helped buy a home a couple of years ago. A week ago the house next door to them blew up, literally; from a natural gas explosion. Their home has been condemned and they have to start over.  They have mentioned several times that they knew angels were watching over them and I knew this too when I experienced my trauma seven years ago.  Today as I remember family and friends, I will also keep my guardian angel and others that support me on this and the etheral plain in my good thoughts

Who's that girl?

When I was a young girl, I spent as much time outdoors as possible and I loved to garden.  I need to return to those days to find the healing and comfort long lost by being indoors.  I notice it even more now that I work indoors and not in outside sales. I think post retirement I will collect my social security and work part-time in the local nursery or the garden centers at a big box store.  There, amid the flowers and greenery I think I will find that young girl again.

What ifs

Tinnitus, the incessant, mostly constant, high-pitched whine or ringing in my middle ear.  Suffered from it for years. Some days it almost overwhelming. This card of the Devil makes me think of it and the what 'ifs' in my life. The nagging worrying of things not done, done incorrectly, and many more misgivings.  Right left? Two steps forward, one back? This that?  On and on it can go. 
That's what I think tinnitus is; worry, self-doubt, and inner criticisms.

Get up!

It is a Holiday Weekend, the unofficial start to the Summer.  Ninety-two degrees is the forecast today.  No dancing around the fire-pit with those temps.  I remember with fondness that today would have been the last day of school until September.  Thoughts of staying up late and playing hide-n-go-seek, and catching fireflies, and running barefoot, and, and, and.  I have lost the wonderment and this Summer's quest is to get it back.
I have had several offers to stop by 'friends' homes this weekend and have not accepted one of them. We have gotten old and dancing around with joy is not in them. They say the five people you spend time with is a reflection of you, time to go in search of others that want to get up and dance. Older we may be, there can still be some celebration and joy.

Futile

Yesterday's 'Challenge Accepted' today is being met with resistance.  I have some how scanned this Ace of Swords upside down, so it is meant to be read as reversed or the 'shadow side' per the author.  I wonder if the caterpillar knows she is going to being going through metamorphosis and who she was is not what she will or can be.  Resistant to the challenge is not something that she can choose. 
Feel the fear and do it anyway.

Challenge accepted

Finding something worth doing.  Doing it and doing it well, even when times get difficult and challenging.  Hanging in there and going the distance.
