Started with a "555" :)

Hmmm...woke up to 555 on the clock this a.m.  On a day when I am meeting with the money lady re my RMDs and got a signal that I needed to NOW convert my SS account.  :/  Glad to see "The time for change is upon you."  Heard from son yesterday - possible new tenant coming by to look at this upstairs unit.  He and his father had a big task of cleaning up after his messy tenant who had a pet...  I will hope that he gets a clean freak next who likes to do lawn work.  :)  No word from sister #6...hope the police report was a support for her piece of the accident puzzle.  I will go with the "Trust in the Universe and you will thrive".  

Yesterday - walk with family friend - what a gift her friendship is for me, EOLD nervous system session - GREAT, then 2nd session by the author:  "My book on death and dying for Bloomsbury, Achieving a Good Death: A Practical Guide to the End of Life, was published on October 1, 2024. All proceeds from my books fund scholarships for American University students." - more GREAT, then Lansing DC in the evening.  Think all the input was behind my 8:50 p.m. to 5:55 a.m. sleep/dream time last night.  

I had given landlady/landlord the blueberries and strawberries on Tuesday and I got a warm scone left outside my door yesterday morning...they are too good to me.  

Today I will walk over to the money lady.  I think I reported in yesterday that I have a 14 day, 12 miles driven run going as of Tuesday.  Will see what I supplement my walking with after that depending on weather.  Mild and murky per weatherman this a.m.  Tomorrow massage Friday.  Saturday - heard from the organizer yesterday for the Help your Neighbor day.  8 a.m. to noon.  Hope I get raking job NOT painting...we will see.  

Don’t try to ignore a situation that clearly needs to be dealt with in a forthright and forceful manner. The fact that someone made an error no longer matters. What does matter is that you help them to find ways to make it right again. 

Your thoughts race as the moon continues through Sagittarius, dearest Libra, forming connections with Jupiter, Chiron, the lunar nodes, and Saturn. You may struggle to maintain a healthy filter, but speaking impulsively could leave you with messes you'd rather not clean up. Luckily, it'll be easier to measure your words once Luna enters Capricorn midafternoon, and heightened intuition will guide you toward happy resolutions. Just beware of sweet talkers within matters of the heart while Neptune activates, bringing deception to the air. Meanwhile, the sun aspects the nodes of fate, encouraging you to return to your body while releasing stress. 

You're feeling especially loving and passionate, Libra, and likely to want to pursue a romantic encounter with the special person in your life. Money matters look positive, as your intuition regarding money management has been working well and is likely to continue. Your psychic and intuitive faculties are wide open and receptive. Don't be surprised by what you pick up today, even from strangers.

Keep a good thought that it is a good day for me today to address, accept, move forward with peace of mind to the best of my ability.  Fingers crossed on that one.  Have a good Thursday.  

Well that was a day...

Picture of sister #6 aka "Crash Adams" as I talked with sister #4 yesterday.  Sounds like she is OK physically.  She responded to one of my texts.  She did go to work.  Police report due today so we will see if I hear anything.  Talking to sister #1 and 4, this had all of us checking our auto insurance policies as "new hip sister" had us all checking Medical Directives when her hip surgery turned into stomach surgery.  It also had me checking my mileage -12 miles driven in 14 days as of post Shoprite shopping yesterday.  :)  

Yesterday beside looking on internet for pic of accident - which I found.  Shoprite, clothes washed, dishwasher run, walk to and from library.  Picked up 3rd in Marcie Rendon series and a new author caught my eye and I picked up Karen Rose's Cold Blooded Liar.  CA DC for an hour, then to FEN all volunteer meeting.  Today schedule - Noon: EOLD -Nervous System Support (could not be coming on a better week!) , 3 pm: FEN webinar, 7 pm: Lansing DC.  

Shoprite was a $44/$22 day.  Did buy blueberries and strawberries for landlord and landlady.  Hosting dinner when sister #1 was here of late and window washing and pantry door repair - VERY small thank you for coming to my rescue.  

No word from brother.  Last night was a bit chopped up as to sleep.  Went to bed at regular-ish time 7:20 p.m. but got "dinged" awake by 3 texts all in close timing 8:50, 9:09, 9:27 - I usually sleep through the dings, but woke up and read.  Then up for good at 2:44 a.m.  Will try to get apt cleaned before family friend walk at 9 a.m.  

You may disagree profoundly with a colleague’s opinions but that does not mean you can’t get along with them. In fact, if you make an effort to swap viewpoints today you may be surprised by how much you learn from each other.

Your voice travels far today, dear Libra, as the moon moves through Sagittarius and the sector of your chart that governs communication. People will be eager for positive vibes and good news, so try to look for opportunities to brighten the mood. Adventure calls out for you during this time, and you'll find excitement in the prospect of taking a short trip with your friends. Consider getting a weekend trip on your schedule, feeding the parts of you that crave new experiences. Close out the day with a bit of personal research, feeding your mind to gain new wisdom. 

Your excellent analytical skills may not be up to par over the next few days. You seem overwhelmed by your emotions. You have a hard time hiding your feelings and processing the information you receive. Instead of trying to understand people, you tend to interpret their actions and imagine things that aren't true. Be careful of your judgment at the moment. It's way off base!

Not sure how much more my mind can hold.  Lots of thoughts came out of the FEN volunteer meeting and the The Ethical Frontier podcast.  Lots of thinking going on in the world, just not front and thinking as one looks at the day.  But I will go with my cosmic guidance and not think too much today.  Have a good Wednesday.  

Lots filled the day yesterday

Hadn't pulled this picture out in a bit.  But yesterday drew me to it this a.m.  Yesterday I did another of my usual long walks.  I think today I will just do a library and back as I have Shoprite, dishwasher, clothes washing, CA DC, FEN all-volunteer meeting, and I was rubbing my knee last night and this morning.  I think I talked to myself about not HAVING to do 5-6 miles a day everyday...will try to settle back in with that thought today.  

I sent a card to my brother today.  As always, can't control response, but going with my gut.  Sister #6 called and she was in a car accident yesterday on her way home from school.  Thought is the car will be totaled.  She is able to walk back and forth to school which is a good thing.  Had her looking at her car insurance policy to see what is covered and what is not.  No rental car that she knew of.  Not sure about collision.  It is a 2007 car.  Volvo.  Think it is good she had a sturdy car.  From what she said, she got pushed across two lanes of road and into building.  Right by the police station so should have plenty of eyes on recreating what happened.  

I had to reach out to landlord again...pantry door came off its hinges - 2 of 3.  I banked some furniture up against it so it would stay in place until he came to help.  He was down at their beach cottage for the day working on something but came right down when he got home.  Fixed the door and put the screens in.  I will hope to not call him again for quite awhile.  

Got a request to share some ideas for possible articles about aging and health.  I am thinking the ask-er will think twice about opening up that Pandora's box.  :)  

Today - Shoprite, walk to library and back, CA DC, FEN meeting.

The more you try to make sure nothing goes wrong today the more likely it is that something will, so stop putting so much pressure on yourself and react to events rather than try to dictate them. Life is supposed to be fun, so smile more and worry less.

Your inner romantic takes the lead this morning, dearest Libra, as the Sagittarius moon and Neptune form a soft exchange. Allow yourself to be swept away by sweet moments, giving your mind a reprieve from stressful situations or dynamics. Intimate conversations could change the way you think about certain people or situations when Pluto activates. Keep an open mind and allow your heart to evolve. This energy can also intensify blossoming relationships, giving you a chance to show your true colors. Flirty vibes carry you into the night when Luna aspects Venus, encouraging you to embrace real connections. 

Today you may feel like something is holding you back, Libra. Everything was going just fine until now. If you believe the stream of chatter in your head today, you will be regressing in every area of your life! For example, you may be afraid to go any further in your relationship because of your past failures. Use this time to lay the past to rest.

Cosmic guidance is giving me a nudge in the direction of relax and reconsider.  Will try and heed the advice.  I am verklempt about a list of things right now.  So I will try to smile more and worry less, embrace real connections, lay the past to rest.  Yikes...wish me luck.  :)  Have a good Tuesday.  

MD 2025 - tale of two sisters :)

I think you can pick the "food fare" for sister #1 and former companera de trabajo and me for Mother's Day 2025...  :)  Oh well.  I was happy with the fact that the Unionville walk was complete, sunny and just felt good.  I keep flashing back to the aches of March versus today...besides the massage, what else shifted in my mind and body to rid me of the aches.  But I will take it.  AND thank my massage lady again on Friday for her work last month!  

Finished my card to my brother.  I had some apologizing to do.  Not so much the what but the how of my words and actions of late 2024.  ZEN DC tonight.  Glad for that with all I have thought about the last few days. And started one of my son's MD books.  The Fourth Way.  It is a book that I have to read with a highlighter so no speed read but looking forward to it.  Page one sentence hooked me - ...behind the surface of life which we know lies something much bigger and more important...  Oh boy.  I better get my focus focused.  :)

Yesterday writing, reading, walking.  Good watch on The Open Mind and ICT News.  Good back and forth with son.  Sad news from cousin's gentleman caller who cousin put in charge of sharing sad news about her day/our uncle.  I am not supportive of what they recommend for treatment of a 95 yr old, but I will keep my thoughts to myself.  

Today - walk, return my June W&T book that I finished.  ZEN tonight.  Landlord left screens that he cleaned for great room windows outside my door...I watched a couple of YOUTUBEs and tried, but no luck.  I will wait until he brings it up and can help me.  I was very glad that my walk up time was in the 4 a.m. hour instead of the 2 a.m. hour like yesterday!  

Your material and emotional values are likely to be at odds during the early part of the week and you will need to find ways to satisfy them both. If helping other people costs you money then so be it. Doing the right thing is its own reward.

The Scorpio full moon rises this morning, dear Libra, putting money on your mind. Now is the time to bring more maturity to your finances without being overly restrictive of yourself. A harsh square between Mercury and Pluto could lead to ego clashes, and you'll want to tread carefully if a conflict arises within your professional or romantic partnerships. Reassess your situation when the nodes of fate stir this evening, helping you fully absorb details, both small and large. Sever ties with that which does not serve you, and try to make healthy choices when Luna aspects Uranus and Saturn tonight. 

You're about to experience a major change in your life's direction, Libra, and it may occur today. Keep your mind open to all sorts of possibilities. You're likely to receive some important information. Of course, you may not realize its importance right away. It's only with the passage of time that you will look back on this event as pivotal. Make sure you don't miss it.

I am all in on the passage of time to bring life into focus.  Keep a good thought for that. Like the look of the week ahead.  Fingers crossed.   Have a good Monday. 

What a morning it is...and it was 2:22 a.m. when the car alarm went off out front :)

The wake up call led me to another angel number so all is not lost.  I am thinking it is going to be a long day...  :)  I am thinking I will be on my first walk to Unionville in 2025 if my memory is right.  Also including a picture of the mousepad sister #1's companera de trabajo bought for me along with some other goodies - Paraguayan chocolates and another snack item propio de Paraguay.  

Lots of video viewing yesterday.  Jason Chen got me with 4 videos.  Ask This Old House featured the lady who handmade the front railings the landlord put in at our entrance.  She is also the daughter of sister #1's airbnb owner.  

Walked to the Shoppes again yesterday.  Did on Thursday also for the egg special.  :)  My goal for today is to write to my brother.  I reached out to former school #2 boss.  She was operated on Tuesday.  Yikes.  Don't know the full "why".  People don't share much about health stuff with me.  Landlord came down after my walk to wash my back windows.  Did make a difference.  And it was a two person job the way we did it.  

Got notice yesterday that the newest local restaurant closed its doors for good as of Friday night...they were the ones featured on a local TV station about their Mother's Day sold out event...gift cards can be exchanged for credit at the owners' brewery.  Restaurant business is not for the faint of heart.  Great location on the river.  Will see if someone else will give it a go. 

You may be tempted to make concessions to someone who has been demanding more from you in terms of time and effort but it won’t be enough to placate them. Instead, make it clear you intend to stand your ground whatever the cost.

Enjoy your Sunday to the fullest, dear Libra, unapologetically embracing the simple pleasures that make life rich. Just be mindful not to overspend, especially when Luna and Mars square off. Now is a good time to examine if your spending habits are sustainable and how your social life influences your bank account. Relaxing in the great outdoors offers the perfect alternative to costly brunches, so consider rallying your buddies for a picnic instead. Slow down and take stock of any preparations you must make for the work week ahead, giving yourself a chance to fully unwind before heading to bed. 

You're likely feeling confident, optimistic, and enthusiastic today, Libra. You feel as though anything is possible, and indeed it is. If you feel a bit of wanderlust and are anxious to explore new places and meet new people, you may soon receive the chance. Life is one great big adventure. You're fortunate to have the sort of spirit that embraces it fully.

Mother's Day 2025.  

 

What a morning and it is only 6:39 a.m. on a Saturday :)

I looked down yesterday when I logged on to my DC yesterday and saw 333.  :)  I have felt empowered the last couple of days since my Wednesday EOLD discussion.  The names from the last few days that set my hair on fire:  Our Grateful Journey-Dr. Rob McCurren; Jason Chen; Eric Mathison/Jeremy Davis.  I have reached out to all to thank them for their work.  

Yesterday - finished my latest Rendon book, ordered up the next in the series. Short walk.  Lots of rain.  

Picture of the stool is the handiwork of sister #4.  She took what was a thatched (is that the right word) stool that had worn out and she re-did it with a plastic tape weave.  Love it.  Much more festive looking that the other one AND perfect for the color thing she has going on for her front porch.  :)  I guess she felt uplifted by her money person discussion.  Very good to hear.  

Started my W&T book club book.  The Berry Pickers.  GREAT dovetail with Rendon books.  Transient workers picking blueberries in Maine.  Beet pickers in the Dakotas/MN.

Waiting to hear from landlord as to when he is coming down to give me help on washing my flip down/flip out windows in the kitchen/great room. So today windows, then walk is my thought on sequence.  No rain forecasted. 

Next week - ZEN, CA DC, FEN volunteer meeting, EOLD-Nervous System session!, Chris Palmer session, Lansing, meeting with money person about my RMD, Massage Friday!!, workday for Seniors-hoping for lawn cleaning work but not too much nature where ticks need to be factored in...  Good week ahead.  

Don’t take anything for granted this weekend where business and financial matters are concerned. The planets warn if you assume that you won’t be cheated you most likely will be, so make sure everyone can see you are too sharp to trick.

Luna takes her final steps through your sign, dearest Libra, forming a harsh opposition with Chiron early this morning. Give yourself extra space to collect yourself before starting the day, and consider sleeping in if you could use additional rest. Essential conversations will pop up throughout the coming week as Mercury makes its debut into Taurus. Choose your commitments wisely during this time, as the stars align to reshape your life. Reinforce your footing this afternoon when Luna enters Scorpio and opposes Mercury, but avoid acting out of stubbornness. Watch out for competition and ego hits later tonight while Pluto stirs. 

A friend may offer you a gift today, Libra. It could involve money, favors, time, items you need, or something else. Be discriminating about what you accept, and make sure you offer to reciprocate. Insist, if you must. As generous as your friend may be now, later he or she could feel used or else call in some favors that you aren't willing to perform. Accept graciously, within limitations.

Sounds like I need to stay on my toes this week.  Keep a good thought that I stay on the right side of history - mentally, physically, financially.  :)  Have a good Saturday.  

Interesting up and down Thursday

 Have to smile and cry thinking about yesterday.  But to speak to the "777".  My walk was to the Community Center to vote on town budget - it passed 714 to 571.  Always sad when that small a number determines the end, but I can only vote once, for me...  Number of eligible voters is 8,ooo-ish.  Counting people who own property in town but don't live in town as a factor.  Last year at May vote - it was 689 for and 944 against, 21% of the 7,924 eligible.  So there was more rounds of voting.  So after voting, picked up W&T book club book for June - The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters.  Hope company will not cause me to miss this last W&T before we take the summer hiatus.  Then I walked to Shoprite to get my $2.99 eggs with my digital coupon.  That is where I "hit" the 777. $7.77  Eggs plus a card to send my brother.  Will work on that this weekend. Then home to have my landlord knock on my door to deliver two MD packages from my son that were delivered to the hairdo place downstairs AND see if he could drop by on Saturday and clean the back windows...I told him I was going to try, but the flip down and out windows were beyond me.  He said it was a two person job but I have not been able to enlist a second person since I got back in January.  :/  Oh well.  He said he would pop in on Saturday and be my second.  :)  

Worked on some blog stuff and wrote son about the Michigan connections I learned about at Wednesday EOLD presentation.  Hope he will scout it out for me.  FYI:  the books he sent me for Mother's Day - The Fourth Way by PD Ouspensky -The Fourth Way teaches how to increase and focus attention and energy in various ways, and to minimize daydreaming and absent-mindedness. This inner development in oneself is the beginning of a possible further process of change, whose aim is to transform man into "what he ought to be." and Obelisks: Towers of Power by David Hatcher Childress - David Childress, popular author and star of the History Channel's show Ancient Aliens, brings us a stunning tale of archeological investigation on a megalithic scale. Childress looks into the enigma of obelisks and their purpose. Egyptologists tell us that obelisks are granite towers that symbolize a ray of the sun―a megalithic symbol of the Sun God Ra, later to be called Aton. Son book gifts always stretch my thinking to say the least.  

Heard back from the money person.  Will meet with her next week.  Downloaded my latest statements to see what I have to RMD about.  

A smile part of yesterday was me asking a NC friend if he and wife were off to Ireland for 2026 UNC football game and he reported out that he was going to another Emerald Isle (NC beach) as of Saturday.   

Just looked down to 4:44 a.m.  :)

Your confidence will soar today and all kinds of crazy ideas will get into your head. Fortunately, as the sign of harmony and balance it’s unlikely you will do anything too outrageous or dangerous – though it won’t stop you wanting to!

Luna moves blissfully through your sign, dearest Libra, putting you in an affectionate mood. Your popularity rises during this time, marking the perfect excuse to prioritize personal goals. While there's no such thing as charming your way to the top, increased charisma will bring added benefit to the efforts you've put in. Don't make any commitments before reading the fine print while the sun and moon form an unbalanced aspect this afternoon. A lucky energy surrounds you when Jupiter stirs later tonight, encouraging you to seek adventure while reaching for the stars. Trust your wisdom while following your intuition to make the most of these vibes. 

You're a dedicated soul to spend precious personal time doing household chores, but certain things need to get done. If you still haven't done all the laundry or read all the magazines, then tackle these first. Completing them will motivate you to move on to the next task. Before you know it, you will be sitting pretty in a neat, organized home. Libra.

Today - rainy so we will see about walking, have some writing to do, going back and forth with sister #6's daughter/youngest of the nieces re talking to her mother about will, POA, and health care stuff.  #6 is 64 this year and middle of the road health condition mostly due to overweight and her decades drink of choice of TAB cola and diet coke now.  :/  Will see where their talks take them.  Sister #4 did go to someone to talk about the buy out offer she had gotten for her LTC policy.  She got her answer AND the guy said go ahead with putting in the pool in her backyard.  #4 turned 68 this year.  

Have a good Friday.  Keep a good thought that I see/feel my lucky energy.  :)
