Well that was a bust...but not in a negative way :)

As I shared with my son this a.m. "THE plan was to go to one of the swimming ladies' homes at 3 p.m. for a chili "linner" and then to New Hartford for the 7 p.m. sound bath.  Meal went off without a hitch (I can walk to eat - hostess was 85 yrs old and one of the ladies I met for summer swimming at the town pool).  Got home at 6 p.m. put together what they said to bring to the sound bath, got in my car, drove a mile...and turned around.  Alone, driving in the dark - decided that I would be more content home reading my book.  And I was.  :)  I know my limits.  The hostess had made a great chili, rice, cole slaw meal and I had bought corn muffins at Shoprite on Tuesday.  So I was in heaven for my second meal of the day. I have nothing on my paper calendar all weekend if you want to chat before you head to work either day.  :)  "

I will keep The Integratron:  Fusion of Art, Science, and Magic in Joshua Tree as my last sound bath experience.  There is no better and I was with my son.  I do have to keep reminding myself to continue to curate memories.  And going out in the dart and driving to where I know no one - did not feel "curate-able".  I was very happy crawling into my bed after that great meal and reading my latest Silva.  

Very interesting conversation with swimming lady hostess.  She is a week into having a cat...not lost on anyone that I am not a pet person, but the "having company" drove her to the adoption route.  Out of my range of understanding to take on but that is me.  Her daughter is coming up from NYC on Monday so she can see if she sees any pitfalls.  Hostess was encouraged by her kids (2) to get the cat.  Being me grief and aging did come into the conversation over chili.  Her husband died Jan 10 2011.  I will have to think about that day.  I did not really interact with her much until this summer.  

Yesterday - All In with one of the Emanuel brothers...what a trio.  Walk.  Got my recount assignment for Wednesday Nov 12 12:30 p.m. until done.  They are projecting 4 hours.  Hope I get my paycheck for election work before Thanksgiving.  :)  No Thursday shows to watch yesterday. 

Today - Boston Blue, All-In regular, LONG walk (have window open in great room this a.m.-very mild), read more Silva.  Told son to give me a call if he has a minute before he heads to his weekend work.  Through a linkedIn post I got connected to Mettle Health...going to spend some time on their site today.  Mettle Health is a first of its kind place for anyone confronting illness, disability, aging and death. We can’t change a diagnosis, but we can change the way you navigate it. From the practical, to the emotional, to the existential; we can help you reframe the way you think about your situation and find your mettle.  Mettle:  a person's ability to cope well with difficulties or to face a demanding situation in a spirited and resilient way.  Sounds like a goal.  :)

You can, if you wish, force through unpopular changes but in doing so you may create bad feelings that come back at you at a later date. If there is resistance to your plans this weekend maybe just leave it for a while.

Behavioral changes you've worked hard to initiate will feel more fluid and organic, dear Libra, thanks to sweet connections between the Scorpio sun and nodes of fate. You'll be inspired to build upon these shifts, especially when it comes to your wellness journey. The Gemini moon and Neptune pull you into a dreamlike state, helping you visualize next steps with increased creativity. Your emotional resilience increases once Luna enters Cancer and aligns with Venus, motivating you to embrace bigger challenges. However, you should consider ways to reward yourself along the way, celebrating essential milestones as they emerge.

Have you ever longed to be a movie star or participate in some way in the film industry? Today you might get your chance or at least learn some of the technical skills required. You might take some time to learn about computer graphics or the ins and outs of camerawork. You could also meet some people involved in this industry.

Not sure about my movie star status :) but I do feel like keeping my eyes open to what the "it" is as to the road ahead.  Spirited and resilient.  Have a good Saturday.
