How to Read the Tarot

Begin by brewing a cup of tea,
a nervine, lemon balm or chamomile,
this is after all, your future.
A reading at the dark of the moon is best,
before the night creatures crawl
and bad humours fill the air.
Pick a circular deck, with a fairy-tale motif,
and no reversals.
Hold a question in your heart,
shuffle the cards and place them on the table.
Choose only two.
Like the ancient Israelites,
these are your seer stones, Urim and Thumimm,
black and white, yes or no.
Isn't that all you were asking?

I'm sorry you lost a good leader. I do hope you get enlightened about the circumstances soon. And I hope you get a chance to talk to him about it, to tell him how much you appreciated him, and comfort him if he needs it. He might also let you know if it might be good--or awful--to think again about taking the open position. Probably your vow was correct, though!!

I'm back, after reading this quotation, posted by somebody at Facebook!

“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand--and melting like a snowflake...” ~ Sr. Fancis Bacon

Feeling for you.

I have a friend in health care who says no to the extra hours and shifts. If you say no, you will have time to rest, and the higher-ups will have a problem they have to fix, not a problem you are fixing for them. They will have to hire more people.

If you want to shift back to 4 days a week, evenings, ask for it.

Don't live in fear or restraint, dear. If everyone is leaving, they aren't likely to fire you for 1) saying no to extra shifts or 2) asking for a change (especially to evenings, avoided by many employees).

I offer my advice because you have asked for help and don't know what to do. I don't know what to do, either, but I see these options as available to you. Change is scary and hard sometimes, but sometimes necessary. If things are bad, change can lead to good.

Go in love and hope and courage, and I think things will fall into place for you. Run it by the cards.

1. surgery	ID #746262
Posted: 2-3-2012 @ 10:25 am EST

I have finally decided to have the knee replacement surgery that I've been needing for at least the last 2 years. My company switching from 8-hour shifts to 12-hour shifts really spurred this action. I am in pain most of the time...and it severly limits activities I once enjoyed. This has not been an easy decision...considering the cost, time off from work, etc. etc. But there seems to be no good atternative. Fortunately, right now, I have health insurance. And I'm cashing in my 401K to have money available. Surgery is sceduled for March 19th and 21st---having one knee relpacement one day and 2 days later the next. Lots of therapy after that....Prayers and healing thoughts are most welcome.
