A Trip Out of Town and the 10 of Wands and 5 of Coins

Saturday, May 18, 2013.  Writing to you from Seattle. Spending a  couple of days here as we're taking in a ballet. The motel is nice although the room is just beds, not a suite and the breakfast nook is just that a nook that fits very few people. However, breakfast was good--bacon, eggs, a waffle, coffee, and an orange juice. I'm just a little disappointed in that I did not have any private time to myself. I like my alone and silent time.

The drive down was pretty good, took an hour to get to the border and an hour to get through. Had showers most of the way and traffic was light to moderate. And we had dinner at Bob's Burgers--good food.

Thank you Spirit.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot Card is the "10 of Wands: The Burden. Responsibilities. Obligations. Overcommitting yourself. Realizing that burdens are a part of life."

I'm not seeing life's journey as being full of burdens anymore. I see life as a journey that has many events in it but our attitudes are what makes the difference as to how burdensome life is and how we work through and overcome them.

Thank you Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Sunday, May 19, 2013.  We’re back at home.  The trip to Seattle was nice, a bit quick, and too much driving.  The return trip involved a few stops and reminded me of why I want to get out of the rat race and live my life my own way.  Consumerism drives me nuts.  We made it through the border in less than ten minutes—a breeze compared to the one hour it took on Friday.  Thank You Spirit.

This morning I did work with Tarot and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the 5 of Coins: Hard Times.  Material difficulties.  Lack of money.  People in adversity helping each other.”

I looked at this card this morning and understood and understand it’s imagery and meaning however I also find that for me it speaks to not conforming to society and expressing yourself, your true self to the rest of the world.  Being true to oneself may involve some financial difficulties but I think that financial struggles can be transcended through believing in oneself as well as looking and thinking outside the box as to how one can go about earning his or her keep in today’s world.  Opportunities are hidden everywhere, we just need to know and understand where and how to look for them.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Man of Wands and XIV Temperance

I am Spirit.  This acknowledgement was with me throughout the night even with the weird dreams I was having, almost disturbing dreams had I not seen the symbolism of them.  The dreams were a mirror of two parts of myself, one I like and one I dislike that were transferred to other people in the dream.  This offers me some enlightenment as to how to move forward with my life.  Thank You Spirit.

Yesterday was an early work day that was most welcome.  Ending the day at 4:00pm was perfect for how I was feeling yesterday.  Today and tomorrow are our last two days of enumeration work unless it is decided that we need to extend our work for a few more days.  The last two shifts are splits and so we’ll be working into a couple of hours into the evening.  It has been kind of fun, meeting different types of people, some who treated us like family.  Great experiences.

Last night’s dinner was another hit, pasta and meatballs in tomato sauce.  I do my best to infuse my cooking with lots of love and happiness.

Thank you Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Cards are the “Man of Wands: Someone who likes problems, and/or thrives on unstable or dangerous situations. “The Establishment”.  Keeping the peace.” and “XIV Temperance: Mix things up a little.  Combining separate elements to create something new.  Moderation (not too much of each flavor).  Flexibility.”

The Ma of Wands suddenly reminded me of my brother but then I thought to myself that maybe I’m  more of an “establishment” guy than I want to admit to especially since I almost pride myself in being a real non-conformist.  Mixing things up a little is what I like to do and maybe I need to do more as maybe I’m not mixing things up as much as I should be.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

A Two Tarot Card Day

Had a decent night’s sleep, did awake for a pee but fell right back to sleep again and awoke at about 6am.  Did my usual morning routine before sitting down with Tarot.

Spirit is and today is a two Tarot Card day.  Today’s two visiting Tarot Cards are the “Youth of Swords: Curiosity.  Research.  Computers, e-mail.  Immature communication.  Spying (or "hacking") and the 9 of Cups: Serendipity.  Satisfaction.  Everything is going well.”  These two cards almost seem to be in conflict however at the same time they work well together for me today.  As I am curious by nature and for the most part things are going quite well, could be better but patience as things are in a state of change right now. 

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
