Turn it around.

 

Maybe I will sit under the Full Moon and view it from a different perspective tonight.

Three moves

 

It's in the details. Think that person is overly opinionated. You might be right. Those Knights of Swords are literally three moves ahead of you. Like a game of chess, they do not make a random move. They have studied the situation from every side and factored in the randomness of others and circumstances and just about have it all figured out.  They excel at the, practice makes progress to practice makes perfect... You better be on your game if you want to match wits with a Knight of Swords.

Click my heels

 

After extricating myself from the tangled mess I got myself into, portrayed in yesterday's Eight of Swords, I am home to rest and recover. I may not have the shiny castle or even a lovely cottage by a pond, but what I have is mine. Well, mine and Kitty's. I am grateful for home. I think even more so in these coming days when we will all go in lockdown again and the coming months of winter.  Time to finish preparing for the months ahead, books, and food, and chocolate and tp. A hair cut before lockdown and also treats for Kitty.

Neosporin and band-aids

 By our own doing or happenstance sometimes we can get tangled up in things that are going to be a bit painful or uncomfortable to get out of.  The question(s) we can ask ourselves is what reward am I getting from being bound to this situation? Is it more comfortable or just easier to stay put than to extract ourselves?  Makes me think for a minute of my father yelling "I will give you something to cry about." Then as now sometimes it is easier or the wiser course to just shut up and put up; at least until the opportunity presents itself to get untangled.

This cat is a lot different looking than the kitty as the Fool a few days ago.  

I will just take hush puppies

 

I never enjoyed fishing. For one thing too boring sitting in a boat or on the bank and waiting and waiting. I am sure for some there is sport and technique to it, but waiting to rip and tear a hapless fish from the water doesn't seem like much fun to me.  Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime, gave me a different lesson. I did not want to fish, but needed to find a way to feed and take care of me, a lesson of the Ace. I learned different skill sets. Now as an aging Page I need to learn a new trade or past-time. Sitting in a boat ain't it, but something else, modified and enjoyable. The learning of which is the true benefit.

To-Do List

 

I now can say and accept that I am semi-retired. Still working on wrapping my mind around the fact that I do not want and to be honest cannot work full-time; this from a girl/gal/woman that has worked at something for many a year. Papergirl at eleven to thirteen, worked the corn fields fourteen-fifteen, restaurant work for many a years and then on and on. So what to do with this extra time? What is on my to-do list which has now changed as my body has changed from age and trauma?  Knowing I cannot do them all, at least not all at the same time; what is the one thing I can do that will that will influence my opportunity to do the others?

Grand adventure

 

"Our kitten has been stalking this butterfly for a while. She's been patient, sneaky, and determined. Just as her paws are about to close--- oh, hey, would you look over there. Focus broken, new adventure spotted." ~ from the accompanied book by Melissa Cynova

We have all done this, started one thing and somewhere down the line find ourselves scratching our head in befuddlement, wondering how and when did we get sidetracked. Life is a grand adventure, we just forgot to enjoy ourselves along the way. Sure we might misstep and end up in a heap at the bottom of the fall, but there is a new adventure even there.  Live today, tomorrow is its own adventure.
