Look On the Bright Side

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped today.

Retro B(arbie) Tarot - Five of CupsToday’s draw is the Five of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of apathy, boredom, a pessimistic mentality, and discontent.

Poor Barbie reading her heartbreak book with tears in her eyes instead of looking at the freedom she has gained in her break-up.  Here we see the epitome of looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Today is orders day and I’m so very not into getting my work done. At the same time?  There were so few orders that I’m chafing at the idea of just how little came in this week.  It’s bad.  Like… real bad.

Today’s card is to look on the bright side.  Stop grousing about the work, and then about the lack of orders.  You’re literally bitching about both sides of the coin here. Turn those complaints around and look at what you still have and what good you can get from the situation.

#DiscordTarotholicsJun2022 Challenge Prompt
Questions for June 2nd thru 4th

Dixit Game Cards v3 JourneyAbout feelings…

Top Row – Others are always watching. Some will be supportive and others won’t. Some will be looking for how they can exploit your vulnerability and growth, and others will be amazed and encouraged. Don’t allow the awareness that others are watching make you close down and cage your emotions out of fear of those with bad intentions.

About friendship…

Center Row – True friends are there with you not just when there are exciting adventures to go on, but also when there’s work to be done. The magic is in finding those that are there for both.

About loneliness…

Bottom Row – Sometimes when your emotions are out of sorts, and you are feeling alone and lonely, you just need to open your eyes and look around. The solution to these feelings is in reach and the others you seek are right there with you.

Learning to Lose Gracefully

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was more of a mourning experience. I learned today of Poppy Palin’s passing and while I did my stretching, I spent my time listening to Poppy’s last three videos where she says goodbye.

R.I.P. Poppy. You were a wonderful woman with a giving heart and far more admired and loved than you ever realized.

Everyday Enchantment Tarot by Poppy Palin - Eight of CoinsToday’s draw is the Eight of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of hard work and skill development, apprenticeship, skilled labor, gaining experience, and working towards expertise at something.

You are of an age in your life where you are going to start losing people. Your grandfather, father, Mr R, the number of friends that passed in the first wave of Covid, people you love and admire. Many have passed on, and many more still will. Can you get “good at” grief? Or is it new and fresh every time?

These are the thoughts on my mind today, even as I ask for a positive message. Today’s card tells us practice makes perfect, but that there will always be room to learn more and improve. Don’t give up. Even the pain in life can be a learning lesson for the positive if you are open to it.

#DiscordTarotholicsJun2022 Challenge Philosophical
Question for June 1st: Do people need other people for true happiness?

Everyday Enchantment Tarot by Poppy PalinReading Summary: Humans are social by nature (Three of Pentacles) and many truly need people in their lives in order for life to feel complete (The Emperor). On the other hand, there are always going to be those that would rather live in hardship rather than be social (Five of Coins).

Take Away: The answer to this is that it’s different for different people. Some need others in their lives, either by just a little or a lot. Others are happier alone, even if that means more hardships and extra work. Sometimes, this is the nature of that person, but more often it is spurred by past trauma.

Imodium is my friend.  I also took time to rest today even though, as usually these days, I’m feeling like I’m not getting a damned thing done around here.
