The 'Ten of Stones-Home' and a Sense of Belonging

Saturday, August 1st, 2015.  Welcome to the first day of August and here in New Westminster catching a glimpse of the fading Full Moon in the early morning sky where the sunrise is brightly reflected in the glass of a tall building giving me a glimpse of its fiery presence this day.

We had a quiet Friday evening at home after a simple yet very scrumptious dinner.  Oh, and after many days of missing the gym I made it there after work for a very satisfying workout.  It sure feels good to work my muscles.  I might have mentioned this before but I do a simple workout that focuses on the major muscle groups so I can pretty much get in and out of the gym in about forty-five minutes.  I do this because I just focus on doing my reps and my sets with minimal delay.  Thirty second pauses between each rep and about sixty seconds between each exercise.

We were in bed early and it was a bit warm for sleeping so I awoke a few times.  One of us turned the AC back on as it must have been a little too hot for them to get to sleep.  I didn't even notice.  Then it was suddenly time to hop out of bed.  I opened my eyes and knew it was a good to start the day.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Ten of Stones. Home: The traditional concept of home and family has evolved and change over the last few decades, but certain basic notions remain unchanged.  In the traditional British family, where the father went to work and the mother stayed home to manage the house and the children, home was the place we always came back to, where stability and a well-founded set of traditions and social rules applied.  It was both guarded and guided by love, respect and loyalty.  As children, we see  home as a place of security and caring.  As young adults exploring the world, it can be wherever you lay your hat r guitar case.  In later life, it may become your own heart's stronghold and sanctuary.  For some, the concept of home is just that: an idea, a hope, a dream, not merely a shelter from the elements or an investment in bricks and plaster.  For some, it truly is where love resides and is the final destination after a colourful or arduous life journey."

As soon as I laid eye upon the "Ten of Stones, Home" I was filled with the feeling of having come home, of having found my place in the world where I'm comfortable, satisfied and filled with a sense of and of fulfilling my purpose.  I've come home and I've found my place in the world.  How much better can it be...life is abundant and prosperous in the most important areas of my life.  I know where I belong, I'm in a loving relationship in a beautiful home, and I, and we are living very simple, ordinary rich full lives.

Instead of focusing on possessions and collecting a house full of knick knacks and other things that weigh us down we are divesting ourselves of such possessions and experiencing a new sense of freedom and well-being as a result.  Our home is becoming an oasis of contentment and well-being as it is free of unnecessary weight and clutter.  My plain and simple goal is to be able to take all of my possessions with me in my camper van.  I still have a ways to go but I'm getting there.  Become a minimalist and you'll be surprised how freeing it can be...after all it's just stuff...really it's just stuff that you really don't need.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
