The 6 of Wands and Being Thankful more than Prideful for Talents and Successes

I had a quiet day at home yesterday.  Good for the heart and soul.  We ran a few errands in the afternoon then got together with a friend for dinner at Wild Rice New Westminster—the Shanghai Braised Beef I had was very good as were the Polenta Fries and Lamb Pot Stickers we had for appetizers.  The service was mediocre though.

Then for a short while after we parted company with the friend we watched the set up many takes of a movie shoot right outside our building.  The working title of the movie is Nautilus, a new installment or remake of a Godzilla movie.  The street outside our building resembled the aftermath of an explosion, a burned out car and rubble littered the street and through the magic of movies we were now living in San Francisco.  Nautilus here in New Westminster.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “6 of Wands: The Parade.  Appreciation for those who stand up for themselves.  The courage of one’s convictions.  Admiration, acclaim, pride.”

Although it is good to believe in one’s convictions and have a degree of pride in one’s accomplishments we must guard against allowing ourselves to feeling superior to others because of our accomplishments.  Our talents are not merely our own, they are the gifts of the Divine and molded by those around us.  We need to celebrate our successes with an eye toward being thankful for the abilities granted to us by a greater presence than our own.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
