When angered words are sent to you, don’t accept it. Send it back with love. Treat the messenger as a delivery person at the wrong address. Angry people do not understand peaceful communication. What do you do with someone who doesn’t understand that? You allow them to express themselves alone. Eda Pugliese-fey
Boy, timing is everything! I never do anything until time feels right. Since January I’ve needed new tires, so I researched prices and tossed the info in the car for when I felt ready to buy. Today I asked my friend Mike Kremer (he’s also my pest control guy!) to check my tires for me while he was here, and I’m reminded he works for Walmart in the Tire Dept on Palm Bay Road. On his advice, I headed down there and, bottom line price after discounts for 4 tires for my Toyota Prius installed was $379.68! I also have a store rebate of $40 for signing up for a Walmart credit card, and I have 12 months same as cash to pay for the tires. I’m glad I waited! I walked through the garden center while they were doing my tires. An associate was watering the plants, I offered to help but she laughed and said that wasn’t permitted. Then I did a few walking laps around the store. I love looking at all sorts of cool merchandise and not feeling the need to own any of it. I stepped into the waiting room and did a few sets of chair dips. Having a desk job, I like to sneak in a little exercise whenever I can. They had just finished ringing me up when Mike came in and walked me out. I kept my best tire as a spare. The tires felt great on the highway! I’d cleaned out the car before I took it in and now I’ll chose carefully what goes back in: the ever present beach gear and change of clothes, the Tao of Pooh, Coleman Barks’ cd of Rumi’s I Want Burning, the necessities. Now I’m ready for that road trip.
I woke up this morning to find Yinnie my mini cow hanging in the driveway with a little calico bobtail cat that looked about 8 months old. When I walked out, she ran over and stood on her hind legs so I reached down and scratched her head. She began climbing up my jeans, so I picked her up for a cuddle. YinYang got up and walked toward the cat door, and the calico bobtail scrambled to get down and ran in it before Yinnie. “Oh no, you don’t,” I thought, as I ran into the house to see them emerge from the cat door one after another into the hallway and casually stroll into the kitchen for breakfast. Since she seemed well fed, I put her back outside. One kitty is enough.
MEANING: On many cards, we see a cluster of buildings off in the distance. In the Ten of Pentacles, we finally arrive in that village. The family is carrying on the affairs of everyday life. The Ten of Pentacles stands for the ultimate in worldly and material success. This is the card you want to see if you are wondering how your latest enterprise will turn out. Wealth and affluence are yours. When we achieve material success, we naturally want it to last. This is the conservative, Establishment side of the Ten of Pentacles. Why rock the boat when life is fine just the way it is? In readings, this card often stands for convention – following established guidelines and maintaining the status quo. Sometimes it is important to trust the known ways, but only when change is inadvisable. The Ten of Pentacles is also concerned with permanence. Change is an unavoidable part of life, but constant change is uncomfortable. We need stability and the chance to work for a secure foundation in life. In readings, this card may be telling you to concentrate on the long-term. Work toward a lasting solution. Now may be the time to settle down and make the arrangements that will work for you far into the future.
