Another "schedule" change :)

My day took a turn at 3:30 p.m....Eating meal #2 and heard a "crunch" in a tuna sandwich that should not have had a crunch.  So the tooth that was giving me trouble last week...broke off so I called the dentist and he got me in at 4 p.m. and by 4:30 p.m. I was home with my amalgam patch.  Feel that this squares that circle for my travel next week. Walk.  Call from TX friend.  OK to put poem on the card for the memorial service - of course!  Feels so positive about that.  TX friend was preparing for the influx of family and friends to New Mexico.  I am glad I will be there in my words.  Much more comfortable that in person.  Sister #4 called.  She had just taken car in for check up pre trip.  Need tires.  So now tires for her, tooth for me...we will be eating peanut butter and honey sandwiches on our trip.  :)  We did talk about the Baltimore bridge situation.  She and her Tuesday morning breakfast group talked about what we needed to take on the trip in case we needed to break out of her car if we found ourselves under water.  :/  Of course we could always take my car with roll up windows.  :)  Did do my wash - dishes and clothes.  Got my backpack down.  Will work on the packing today.  Good CA DC.  

Also did some homework on The Five Invitations after TX friend asked me about it as a follow up to her daughter asking if I knew about it.  My response to TX friend:  some Frank O quotes: “Rest comes when we become more by doing less, when we don’t allow the urgent to crowd out the important” “Spiritual practice helps us settle into the utter simplicity of being ourselves. The healing that it engenders happens when we bring awareness to the places that have hardened in us through the conditioned habits of grasping, resistance, and avoidance.” "Don't Wait; Welcome Everything, Push Away Nothing; Bring Your Whole Self to the Experience; Find a Place of Rest in the Middle of Things; and Cultivate Don't Know Mind."

Death is not waiting for us at the end of a long road. Death is always with us, in the marrow of every passing moment. She is the secret teacher hiding in plain sight, helping us to discover what matters most.

And some Ram Dass I have heard of late and had already told you but as the group gathers... Love everyone and tell the truth.   Resist nothing and allow it to be. Be here NOW.   In this moment I am fine. The next message you need is always right where you are.  Every time we think we have measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and we're reminded that that capacity may well be limitless.

Also got a picture update to picture frame and email from son.  Trying not to think about how 3k in mstr options last March would be worth 150k today :/ would have made for a different trip :) in rome now though and Athens on Monday.  He knows it makes me a nervous wreck as he describes how he does that option stuff.  Allows him to have the life he has, but...not for me.  But that is why he is on a 3 months European tour and I am going to Shoprite ($55/$37 day...not stellar) and the one town over to get tooth fixed.  :)  Check more cities off his schedule:  SPAIN-PARIS-ITALY-ATHENS-LINDOS-SOFIA-BRAN-BELGRADE-BUDAPEST-BERLIN-BARCELONA-NEW YORK-DETROIT.

Today walk and put some thought into trip next week.  Read more of my Jobs book.  Apt to be cleaned. EOLD discussion at noon.  Tomorrow looks like the "U's" will both be playing.  

The more time you take over an important decision the more likely it is to be wrong, so be bold and decide what to do about it today. Find a quiet place where you can be alone with your thoughts and ask your inner voice to guide you.

You'll feel grounded and connected to your emotions this morning, dearest Libra, as the moon migrates into Scorpio. You can find much relief when you interact with the beauty surrounding you, though a harsh connection with Pluto suggests you might not have much time for leisure or fun. Luckily, Mars steps in to bring some zest to your daily agenda, helping you feel accomplished and at ease with each item checked off your to-do list. Find motivation in the fact that with each small step you take toward the future, the more secure you become in the moment.

This is a great day to deal with legal matters of any kind, Libra, including plans for a wedding, if one is in the offing! Your financial situation should be thriving and stable, and long-term educational goals may come to the forefront. Now you should be strongly focused on matters that are particularly important to you. Work performed today toward those ends should be accomplished quickly and efficiently. Go to it!

Not sure what it is that will get my focus today, but I am inspired by my cosmic guidance to take a look.  Will hope that my candles, incense, diffuser will fill the air with inspiration.  Fingers crossed.  Have a good Wednesday.
