Money can’t buy you happiness
but it does bring you
a more pleasant form of misery.

Porte Ponderings:

A clam shell left on the river shore
after the clam was devoured.
Sitting, gleaming, empty in the sunlight.

DAILY TAROT: K KING OF WANDS

I lead with passion and courage.

A strong charismatic leader, looking forward to challenges because they enjoy the rush of adrenalin that solving a difficult problem brings.  The King of Wands helps us to turn all those thoughts and dreams into real plans and tangible results.

If you don’t see
the book you want
on the shelves,
write it.

Porte Ponderings:

Today is my Grandmother’s Birthday. She lived to be 93. She always loved a good dance, joke glass of wine or scratch lottery ticket. She loved her cats and dogs. I believe walking kept her spry.

DAILY TAROT: XIX THE SUN

Artists are prophets.
They define the meaning of our lives
and point the way.

~ Tony Bouza
Former police chief of the Minneapolis Police Department
Born on: 10th April 1928

Porte Ponderings:

Remember the original Ghost Busters? My sister took me to a theatre to watch the new Ghost Busters movie. Not a remake but a continuance in the present. The quality of a big screen is just so amazing. I couldn’t believe how many of the original actors are still living in their “golden years”.

DAILY TAROT: VIII EIGHT OF SWORDS

I have the power within me
to free myself.

It is time to let go of negative patterns and embrace new perspectives.
Every fence has a gate. You can choose to stay within the enclosure or open the gate and venture out of the confines. Look at the river or go over the bridge.

If it weren’t for the rocks in its bed,
the stream would have no song.

Born on: 9th April 1932

Porte Ponderings:

The day after the solar eclipse. The skies cleared and we were able to seed 99.38% totality in our back yard. The sun dimmed, but not to darkness. We used a wielding mask and have no issues today.

DAILY TAROT: VI SIX OF PENTACLES

I am grateful for the gifts and
blessing I have received.

You may have a fresh start
anytime you choose.

~ Mary Pickford
Actress
Born on: 8th April 1892

Porte Ponderings:

Today there is a lot of hoopla over the solar eclipse. As usual, we probably won’t see this once in a lifetime event due to clouds 😦

Too many people in powerful positions have closed too many roads today for fear of the crowds. I can’t even drive to my own trailer because the road will be closed by the Municipality. Ridiculous. As far as I’m concerned this is an unnecessary use of political power and restriction of freedom.

It reminds me of the overstepping during COVID restrictions where property owners weren’t permitted to go to their cottages, but the Provincial Premier went to his.

DAILY TAROT: KN GNIGHT OF WANDS

I am moving towards my goals
with passion and enthusiasm.

If you aren’t making some mistakes,
you aren’t taking enough chances.

~ John Sculley
Former CEO of Apple
Born on: 6th April 1939

Porte Ponderings:

What an unusual site in a tree. Is it a petrified snake or a tree penis? No wonder I don’t often see snakes when I’m on a walkabout. Cypress trees have the strangest outcroppings not to mention their Cypress knees.

DAILY TAROT: XIII DEATH

I embrace change
in all it’s forms.

One of the most feared cards. Rarely meaning actual death but instead ending something and starting something new. Change. From one level to the next. Good or bad? Change, ever occurring, leading us in a different direction.

DAILY TAROT: V FIVE OF CUPS

I am ready to deal with my
losses and regrets and move on
with my life.

Packing up and getting ready for the journey home. It has been confirmed that our landlords are selling the trailer we’ve been so fortunate to rent for the past 3 winters. It is time to celebrate the friends we’ve made and the good times we’ve had at Sleep Hollow. The big items have been loaded into the box of the truck. Now to do the wash, pack the overnight bag and clean the trailer so it can look it’s best for the next owners.

New adventures are awaiting.

The world is as good as you are.
You’ve got to learn to like yourself first.

DAILY TAROT: XXI THE WORLD

I deserve my success and I am
proud of all that I’ve accomplished.

“Assured success, recompense, voyage, route, emigration, flight, change of place.”

Less than 1 week and I hope to be home. I’ve enjoyed my Florida winters, but live for my Strathroy Ontario springs. ❤
