Calming Saturday :)

Foggy morning.  I was surprised to see how late I slept today.  Just getting to my machine at 6:10 a.m.  Hour later than usual but #3 Locke has me so hooked, so when I woke up an hour ago - later than usual - I stayed in bed to read.  Calm pic - "calm April 23" was the label.  April 2023.  Will look back and see what brought it to mind back then, but for today.  Just feel calm this a.m.  Did not hear back from son after I sent emails yesterday - one updating him on my patched teeth and one with the Daily Stoic info.  Have a plan for getting back to my blog boss.  MUCH calmer than my initial submittal which I am glad he did not respond to with a "thanks, but no thanks" as to me getting involved.  :)  Walk to Shoppes.  Ran into the town's "pollinator lady".  For someone who is not plant/nature oriented...we have a cordial relationship.  I do enjoy her energy for what she is doing.  She just had ankle surgery so we walked part of my route together as she tried to limber it up.  

Excited this a.m. for putting some of my landlady's granola in my pancakes!  Then "click off" all my Shoprite digital coupons.  Eye on $.99/lb grapes, 12 for $12 Progresso soups, OJ, 8 lb bag of navel oranges.  Walk to Unionville.  Big rain forecasted but not until later.  Will calmly submit 3 ideas to my blog boss.  

Will see if #4 sister calls to let me know she got home safely from her Florida vacay.  Will see if #1 sister calls from Mexico.  She is due back to US manana.  I did go to the town's historical museum yesterday for #6.  Museum had posted they were selling old yearbooks.  Sister #6 had thrown hers out in one of her reviews of her life and times.  :)  Now she wants it.  I went over right when the museum opened (only opened 1-4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays March-December.  Takes a winter hiatus.  Glad I got there when I did.  A man came in right after me and said he was looking for a bunch...one being #6's year...sorry, but not that I got it.  :)

You will get a chance to improve something you made a mess of the first time around and this time you must get it right. Don’t listen to those who say you have no hope of success. Enjoy the looks on their faces when you prove them wrong.

An excess of people-pleasing catches up with you this morning, dear Libra, as Luna continues her journey through your sign while forming harsh connections with Mars and Chiron. Consider how you can draw better boundaries in the future, vowing not to deplete yourself for the benefit of others anytime soon. You could feel pulled in multiple directions as the hours pass and the moon enters unbalanced aspects with Saturn, Uranus, the sun, and Neptune. Try to zone out by preparing for the work week ahead, but avoid starting too many projects at once, or you could be left with one big mess. 

 Feeling a bit off due to overindulgence, Libra? It's important to acknowledge that your energy might be low today, which could make concentrating on tasks challenging. Take it easy and allow yourself some downtime to recuperate. Do just enough work to keep things ticking over, but don't push yourself too hard. Grab a good book and a cup of tea, and settle into a cozy spot on the couch. Let yourself relax and recharge. Your body and mind will thank you for it. Prioritize rest and self-care today so that you can bounce back stronger tomorrow.

Have to smile when my cosmic guidance reminds me of my time in Houston when I used to "get over my skis" and I think of when I would be making coffee in the a.m. (I was always the first one in the office every day) and load up water, coffee, turn it on, walk away...coming back to get my coffee to see that I forgot to put the pot under the flow...and coffee all over the floor.  That would remind me to slow down and be present in each task.  "...just enough work to keep things ticking over..."  Keep a good thought that I heed my guidance.  Have a good Sunday.
