For today I've dawn the Ace of Swords from the
Original Rider Waite Tarot: this card is all about having a clear vision, bright ideas and deciding
what is fair. But then I noticed how a crown is held on the tip of the sword:
Today for
me this card is also about taking over the crown. Being the first in charge and decide
how things are organized best.
Both my
girls came down with a nasty cold (snotty and feverish and a soar throat). S (poor girl) has
to go work until 8 PM (I will drive her) and M is resting/sleeping on the couch.
Yes, that
leaves me in charge of the pack. Today I have to decide about right and wrong
and be a fair judge for all of us(especially for our naughty and stubborn little
boy). I also have to come up with some clever ideas to make this a bit easy on
me. so no cooking but a lot of orange juice should be enough. I've already done my grocery shopping while Jofee was asleep an my
girls were “watching” him. Of course I want set some personal time for myself
aside too: To play in my new notebook or read some pages from “Shadow of Night”
part two of the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. A book a
about witches, vampires, daemons time walking and lots of other mystical ingredients (yummy)
And last
but not least I want to keep my head clear from murky pitiful thoughts of “poor
me”. It is what it is and I have to deal with it as good as I can. There is no
need for perfection just for loving kindness for all four of us
I see we've both drawn Aces today! Sending some virtual chicken soup to your family and wishes that they will feel better soon. I wish changing one's thoughts was as easy as changing the channel on the TV, especially when so much emotional stuff going on!

DeleteWhat a wonderful way to describe the constructive, beneficial power of the Ace of Swords. I know you will wield it skillfully and thoughtfully. Do take care of yourself as well. (Going to look at the Harkness books because I can't remember if I read any of them before...)
ReplyDeleteReading is a great way to take care of myself Zanna. I am rereading the first two books before I'll start with the last one which has been published this year :)
