More Than
My love for you
is more than
a flash-in-the-pan
or infatuation
and I wear no
rose colored
glasses
perched
on my nose
My love for you
is deep
and abiding
saturated
within
every breath
I breathe
and each cell
calls out
to you
that I am yours
always
Comfort
Come and
walk with me
among the
cedar trees
with sharp
tangy scents
tickling
at our senses
and the
rich green
of the forest
so bright
that shadows
feel
disorienting
and our fingers
lace together
in comfort
and connection
Admiration
Sweet treats
created with
aesthetic
perfection
brings home
the truth
that cooking
is more than
the creation
of food
but truely
includes
presentation
that makes
the mouth water
even before
you’ve had
a taste
Today’s meditation was a nine minute long #DailyTrip session from the @Calm app.
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.
Today’s draw is the Seven of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of slow growth, sustainability, domestic harmony, hard work, and practicing patience while the fruits of your labors develop and take form.
The Seven of Pentacles has then been combined with a Forest Bathing card, which says, “When visualizing a bouquet of flowers we often imagine a lovely arrangement of perfectly proportioned colorful flowers. I invite you to create a bouquet using the fallen bits and pieces of nature you encounter along your path. I wonder what will be revealed…”
Like the activity described in the Forest Bathing card, our lives are much like a bouquet of random things collected along the way from day to day. It’s not some perfectly arranged spray of flowers and ornamental greenery, but rather the beauty of something more rugged and natural that comes together over time.
Each experience picked up adds to the whole, and what at first may look like a mishmash of random things, when brought together ultimately creates something beautiful.
The message in today’s Seven of Pentacles and the affirmation card is a reminder that whether events in our lives are small and feel consequential, unpleasant, or beautiful on their own… When added to our lives as a whole, they create something unique and beautiful. Our lives are all unique and beautiful.

Philosophical Question: What is happiness?
Three of Swords and In or Out
Happiness is savoring one’s life while step-by-step making the choice to lean into the positive instead of wallowing in the disappointments, painful experiences, victim mindsets, and the pessimism these things can create.
What path moving forward can help you attain more happiness in life?

Prompt for May 25th : A simple pleasure I want to protect
Reading Summary: The banishment of unpleasant things (all three reverse cards – Justice, Hierophant, and Five of Cups) that have spending time with my partner creates for you (Father of Cups).
Take Away: You have a tendency to fixate on fairness, or rather the lack of fairness in the world around you. This makes it extremely difficult for you to see positive perspectives or connect with optimistic thinking.
Spending time with your partner allows you to connect to the world around you with a more positive outlook, and to see things from their perspective instead of the negative perspective you are used to. This doesn’t necessarily take away your own perspective, but helps to round it out so that it doesn’t all look quite so bad.
He is aware of this tendency in you to lean towards the pessimistic, and is always happy to not just accept how your mind works, but provide alternate perspectives for you to consider without trying to force anything upon you.
The blend of acceptance and guidance often goes unnoticed and underappreciated, but it’s something that you treasure a great deal.

I taught Ms B how to make recipe cards on the computer, and then created a “back up” file so that when she messes up the template I can just refresh it back to the original instead of trying to repair it later.

Spring comes
in a riot
of colors
that flash brightly
from garden centers
and grocery stores
front yards
and porch stoops
as the celebration
of life
begins
with bursts
of blooms
that fill the world
with life
and cheer
Prompt: “Draw (at least) three cards, and use them to create a new ending to a movie you wish had ended differently. Share your cards, as well as the name of your movie, and the new ending that you have devised from the cards.”
Movie: City of Angels (1998)
After having seen the ending of this movie for the first time, I’ve always chosen to turn the movie off at the cabin scene instead of watching it all the way through.
The ending is just too heart-wrenching and painful. I think it makes the movie even more striking, but I just can’t deal with the emotional upheaval that it causes.
The New Ending
Left Card – God looks down at Seth and Maggie from on high, and is pleased with what he sees, the happiness and love that the couple has found, and forgives Seth for having fallen in order to love Maggie as a man.
Center Card – God blesses them with stability in their relationship and lives together. The type of stability that provides a rock of strength under their feet, even in rough or difficult times.
Right Card – With that stability, Seth and Maggie plant the seeds of love and family. They have five happy and healthy children; all with a touch of angel magic within them.
