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.

Three of Swords and In or Out

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.
