anyway the wind blows

       Next time I need to plan better. I feel like for as much time as I spend writing lists, I say that a lot. I said that in email the other day. I am pretty sure I said it a couple weeks ago too. It is true. Mondays are the day I post where and when you can find me. Sunday at 7:15 pm, I have no idea where I am going or when I will be there.
      My ocd is quiet, I feel really good about the statements above.
     

I'm really into tarot cards, divination, horoscopes etc. I am a rational person. I feel silly putting stock into what effect a person's birthday has on their personality. But also- I enjoy feeling silly. Whether it is a self-fulfilling prophecy, a spin on the placebo effect or that somehow what the stars are doing on the day one is born has a huge impact on the person you are destined to be, I have no idea. I enjoy these things, that is enough of a reason for me to spend time indulging in them.
       I read my cards almost daily. Last night I pulled a single card from a deck I seldom use. I am not clairvoyant, I just pull a card and read what the accompanying book says that card means.  I want to share a piece of what the book said this card meant. Do you know how much joy the universe gains from being able to give to you? When you delight in what you receive (sic) the universe is fully received by you.  
       It spoke to me. I love to give gifts. I love when I see a thing, and it reminds me that a person I know loves that thing. So I give this thing to them and their eyes go all big and shiny. Giving gifts to adults is a pretty safe thing to do. It might thrill them like I hope, or it might be a miss but they will be polite about it. Giving gifts to kids though, that is the best. It is a higher risk. If the gift is a flop, even kids with great manners are usually unable to hide their disappointment. If it is a hit though, some of them will literally bounce off the walls with their happiness. I love that.

Lately I feel like I work a lot of hours. I wear many hats. I worry a lot. 

That's one way of looking at it, but here is another:

     I have a job I love, and because I excel at it, I am in high demand. I have many skills, and I have found ways to best apply them. I have a many things I care deeply about in my life. I have an abundance of things I care deeply about.
    The universe has given me so much. I have done my best to always recognize that, to be thankful, but perhaps recently I had forgotten to delight in it.  Etiquette dictates that we show gratitude when we receive a gift, but delight shows our sincerity. Delight is what we give back when really this is exactly what I wished for.
        Tomorrow, today when you are reading this, is Monday. I have no idea where I will be. This is the first week of a new month, I have no idea what this month will have in store for me. It is my intention simply to demonstrate my delight.

Ok- Maybe I don't quite look delightful here, but I like it
& it didn't fit anywhere else. 

Did you stay until the very end? Are you on to my tricks now? There is a very high probability of travel in the next couple weeks. I won't ask you to hold your breath this time, but pay attention.
