Mid week...

Interesting developments yesterday.  It was Tuesday so that means "action" day.  As far as that word represents a level of action different than pre-retirement.  :)  But I listened to the end of Daniela from yesterday, WBD, and a bit of BTV.  No listening this a.m. as we speak.  Trying to clear some room today just for fresh air thinking.  Windows still open and record setting high temps forecast for end of the week.  I will hope to get a walk on the beach in when I hit sister #4's on Saturday and Sunday.  Put NPR in the background...but turned it off.  My need for news is very low this a.m.  

Yesterday - listening, gas station to fill up for Saturday - first time since mid September... - Shoprite, ALDI, ran dishwasher, did a load of wash, 1 p.m. CA DC, finished The Beach at Summerly.  And right before I headed out for my walk, family friend and grandson swung by to give me gifts of the quilt from the quilt raffle (they won it) at the church supper and some chocolate from Ecuador and an article about the chocolate from the Smithsonian Magazine.  To'ak is a bean to bar chocolate maker from Ecuador. This fine chocolate bar is made with cocoa from Ecuador (Manabi, Nacional). To'ak Ecuador Manabi Nacional Andean mints – Alchemy 65% is a dark chocolate with a balanced taste, with aromatic notes of mint.  I am afraid to eat it when I saw what it costs...LOVE the quilt and I know I will love the chocolate.  

Today will be walk with family friend and grandson, return book to library, pick up some back ups as I want to get going on the books my son gave me last week...but they are always heavy reading so I need some light when I need a break.  Noon EOLD discussion group, Lansing DC tonight.  Clean the apt - not sure what time slot I will slip that into.  Got a great email yesterday from FIC - Foundation for Intentional Community.  January trip to Costa Rica to check out ecovillages.  Wish I got this email in 2019 when first retired...  :)  

A kind word from you could be all it takes to bring the smile back to a loved one’s face. No matter what may have come between you of late there is still so much you have in common, so make the first move and be happy together.

A new sort of bond may form with someone you consider a friend. Perhaps you discover a mutual interest or suddenly see your friend in a new light. This can be beautiful, but before you make any commitment, make an effort to get to know the person a little better. Your image of him or her might be clouded by idealism. You might not see the person objectively.

The Pisces moon faces off with Venus this morning, dear Libra, which could lead to a rough start of the day if you feel unrested. Focus on elevating your energy levels through healthy exercise and nutritious foods, doing what you can to support your physical self. Movement around the office could lead to a promotion or new opportunities when Luna aligns with Uranus this afternoon, so be sure to demonstrate a strong work ethic. Stress dissolves tonight when Neptune activates, especially when you stretch, soak in the tub, or hit a yoga class. Do some light cleaning before the day comes to a close and Pluto triggers your solar fourth house.

I will be hitting the candles and incense as I clean today...not sure what people I may cross paths with...time will tell.  Have a good Wednesday.
