Writing seems to be "my thing" this month... :)

Writing poems, writing for the blog.  Writing every morning. Wrote a comment on NC friends blog this a.m. Got an email that a blog post of mine will be on GDS blog on Sunday Nov 23.  I wrote about solo aging.  We will see what response it gets.  Walk, write, read - those are my things.  I don't know if that is setting the bar too low as to what makes life make sense, but it so does make my life make sense.  Lady last night mentioned again about the Big J joys and the little j joys. Maybe I have always been a little j kind of gal, if "j" has been "a thing".  But I will move on.

Yesterday - lots of writing, some reading, regular Monday route walk.  PA DC.  Talked to TX/NM/MX friend.  She got back from NM on Saturday, in TX until Wednesday, then driving to MX for Thanksgiving.  Makes my T'Day adventure seem pretty tame, but it is a lot for me and I will challenge myself to be present...wish me luck.  

Today 3:03 a.m. as I write so plenty of time for everything :) - Shoprite, wash clothes, run dishwasher, CA DC, IOWA DC.  Will see how IOWA goes under the facilitation of a new leader.  

Had my soldier's soup and cookies as part of meal #2 yesterday.  Dee-lish.  I am very fortunate to have such a cook live upstairs.  

You can be a bit too laidback at times and that could be a problem today if you assume that a situation will work itself out for the best. If you refuse to engage with it that problem could very quickly turn into a crisis.

Spend with caution throughout the coming weeks, dear Libra. As Mercury retrogrades into Scorpio and the sector of your chart that governs money, you'll be more susceptible to buyer's remorse. Unexpected expenses may place additional strain on your finances. The more responsible you are with your bank account, the easier it will be to survive this planetary backslide. Luckily, the Scorpio Moon aligns with Venus and the nodes of fate later tonight, putting you in a fiscally conservative and organized headspace. Use this energy to revamp your budget while outlining monetary goals for the next few months. 

Recognition could finally come for hard work and goals reached. You're feeling very good about the situation. Your self-confidence and mental strength are high. You'll receive a lot of letters or calls, some from far away. Don't be surprised if you spend most of the day talking.

Spending is not a problem for me.  I do not "do" this time of the year with gifts or gatherings so I am in an observing mode watching do what they do.  Laidback...not a word used for me much, but looking away from what could become a bump in my road...I will take a look at that this week.  

Have a good Tuesday - my poems of the last few days.  One for birthday, one for recovery.

November 13

What a gift of life and love is opening before you./Fields of lavender, shows of majesty overhead/Beaches as far as the eye can see/Family and friends at every turn

Some scan the horizon in wonder and dream/You travel and find adventure in every day./There might be days of raucous change ahead/But there will be many more days of joy and peace.

Some days will be full of sun and sand and ocean./Some days will be framed by the backdrop of mountains and pink sky.

You will thrive in both/You will make time for family/You will make time for friends/You will make time for the man with whom you have created it all

You are being gifted in so many ways./You gift to so many by being you./Gift yourself today with some moments of calm, joy and peace.

But then get right back to being you in your busy and loving world./It is that true you for which we all are grateful to have in our lives. 💖

-------------------------

Gather Strength

As you heal - From all who appear at your side - gather strength//From all who keep you in their thoughts - gather strength/From all you have gifted with your friendship - gather strength

Once strong in body, mind and spirit - Let your energy heal you from the inside out/Let your energy lift you to give thanks/Let your energy inspire you to take the next step

And whenever and however it feels right for you - Take in all the love around you/Sing with your granddaughter/Dance in the garden
