I hope this fines everyone in good health, happy, and relaxed. As for me I am doing ok just been a very long, rough week with being in the car approximately 4 to 5 hours every day for Big Dawg to serve paperwork. Today isn’t much different for being in the car plus my monthly meeting with my apprentices along with our Samhain celebration and a wiccaning for a beautiful baby boy.

Enjoy the day no matter what you will be doing!

Feeling a lot less pain and stiffness this morning. Now if the fibromyalgia flare would calm down I would be in really good shape again. But life goes on no matter how we are feeling physically, mentally, spiritually, or any combination of these. So, on to doing today’s regular posts and hopefully a few of tomorrows as well. My brain fog is so bad right now I am forgetting what I am doing as I do sometimes.

May your week kick off with a big positive bang!

Giant Burr Acorn

Giant Burr Oak Tree (not the one in my yard).

This is a Giant Burr Acorn of which I have literally hundreds of in out front and part of our side yard from the beautiful, majestic Giant Burr Oak Tree in our front yard.  So, the acorns were hurting Merlin feet, Star refused to walk anywhere they had fallen, and Cleo could have cared less and walked around or on them. Since two of our companions were having a problem with the acorns, I took it upon myself to first rake them into piles, then load them into my wheelbarrow and take them to different areas for the Squirrels and Deer would have access to them now and in the winter. A very silly move on my part with a raging fibromyalgia flare! I wound up straining muscles in my back, shoulders, hip, and knees. Friday I could barely move, but it is getting better daily using a topical muscle relaxer, my heating pad and I have become best friends…lol. Hopefully I can finally soak in an Epsom bath with essential oils and herbs to help the muscle soreness to disappear pretty much completely. This is why I have been only doing the regular posts on the date they fall on instead of doing tomorrow posts also.

The ones that have fallen in our back yard from the Giant Burr Oak Tree are staying wherever they fell. I won’t do a final mowing within about 10 feet of the the tree so the deer can forge for them in the cold weather with the added bonus of some of the ones front the yard being spread out in that area also.

Druid Quote Source: azquotes.com

This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight, Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic, Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms. Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring ocean Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.

I took a few longish walks this week to find my path again and to release all the negative everything that was inside of me to refill it with all positive things. So this poem really spoke to me as I was looking for a thought to put up. It also helped me to feel better physically which in turn let me get the posts for today up yesterday like I had been doing but was unable to for a while.

There is a lot to be said for walking in the grass among trees and other things pleasing to the eye that Mother Nature and Gaia gives us to look at. They also provide us lovely things to smell like flowers and fresh cut grass just to name a couple. They give us things to feel the different textures that the world around us offers. They help to ease our troubles and worries to hopefully all us to gain a better state of mind. If you do not live in a home where these things are not just outside your front door trying going to a park or forest preserve and walk there. It doesn’t need to be a long walk as you can still experince the afore mentioned things by sitting on a bench or lawn chair or the grass to take in what beauty is around you.

I also encourage you to take some type of trash bag with you and clean up what others have just left on the ground that interrupts the energy we can feel when surrounded or in nature.

Blessed be dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends!

Depending when we get Big Dwag’s Jeep back that is in for repairs to the power steering stuff whether or not I come back on a little later to do the northern hemisphere’s tomorrow posts or not. It is still rainy and cold here so no relief from the fibromyalgia flare I’m in, in the near future. But I felt I needed to go back to doing all the regular daily posts as it is not fair to you for me to give up doing all the posts that you are used to seeing on WOTC just because it hurts me to type.

We all grow a little each day. In which way will you be growing today…towards a positive or negative thing?

The last two days in our home have been way of normal. Sunday, I didn’t get the Monday posts up because I was in too much pain after we drove 220 miles to serve paperwork. Yesterday we had to go bring a new battery to my youngest son, so he was able to start his car again to go to work. As we left to come home a major belt on the Jeep broke 4 blocks from my son’s home. We were able to get it to a great auto repair shop but that’s where the real fun came in. We were there 5 hours waiting for the part to come, the auto parts store lost power we had to wait for the part until power was restored and be put on. Oh, I forgot to mention it rained everywhere we were all day yesterday which isn’t fun with artists and a bad fibromyalgia flare. We left home about 10:00 AM and didn’t get back until around 8:00 PM instead of about 2 PM. Needless to say, our fur children were not happy with us and had very empty tummies their normal dinner time is between 1 and 2 PM. So, I had plan to do today’s posts when we got home but both of us could barely move due to sitting in chairs that were uncomfortable for hours and just being in the Jeep for so long. Anywho onto tomorrow posts that go live today.

Find some time to meditate today even if it is just a few minutes spent outdoors to soak in the nature that surrounds no matter where we live.

Merry meet, Hail, Good Whatever Time of Day you read this!

All the birthday horoscopes from September 2nd, 3rd, and 4th are posted on their respective dates. The weekly horoscopes are posted on September 3rd where they should have been already.

For today I am only doing daily and birthday horoscopes and the current Moon phase. I will be checking emails as we are in the car when we’re not in a no service area (we hit these quite often because of living surrounded by corn and soybean fields wherever we have to travel to) part of the fun living in farm country (which I love) instead of the hustle and bustle of city life. Why only these? Well, I was up until around 6 AM this morning and finally fell asleep and didn’t get up until about 30 minutes ago. Plus missing birthday horoscopes for most of the dates so far in September. Than having to leave with Big Dawg in an hour for him to serve paperwork with me his trusty side kick doesn’t give me much time for all the regular daily posts. So, I figure the ones pertain only to the 5th of September are more important to get than trying to do everything with not a enough time to do them. Hopefully I will sleep tonight and wake up bright eyed and bushy tail already to bring you all the regular daily posts and 1st of the months posts tomorrow morning. I will go back to doing the tomorrow posts for Friday, September 8th along with all of the regular posts for Thursday, September 7th.

I know I didn’t do good on my goal for this New Moon to New Moon phase but there is always the next lunar month to strive for. I am sorry if any one was inconvenienced by me not getting all the regular daily posts up last week through today. Thank you for your patience and support while I was sick again!
