Good Thursday Morning Dearies!

I hope everyone is having a lovely Thursday so far. I am Spring Cleaning. I know it is a little late for Spring Cleaning but it is 105 outside. I just hate to see July and August if the temperatures are already like this. Alaska here I come! I started outside this morning. I went and bought a new water hose and also Round-Up. I was going strong at 5:30 a.m. I had to dodge two wildcats every time I made a move.

“AND HERE I MUST INTERJECT A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT’

I mentioned wildcats. I don’t know if you heard it on TV last night or not. But if you live in a wooded area were wildcats are known to roam, you need to be aware of this. There is a tick that lives on the wildcats. The ticks fall off the wildcats and gets on our indoor cats (only if you let them out). The ticks get on the indoor cats when they go outside. And give them “wildcat fever,” this is a fatal disease and there is no known cure for it. They said the cats get sick and they don’t know what it is till they do blood work. Then they find out the cats has “wildcat fever,” and it is too late, just a matter of time before the cat dies. They said the best way to avoid this is to keep your cats inside.

I caught hell last night for playing with two of my wildcats. But I don’t figure Stinker is in any danger. He is not close to them or around them. I am the one around them and I have always made it a practice to check myself for ticks.

Then I get throwed in my face perhaps I caught something from them. Remember when I had all the knots suddenly appearing on my head. Nobody knew what was causing the knots. Who knows I still have them popping out and (knock on wood) they haven’t killed me yet.

I love how this goes from me working my butt off to wildcat fever, Gee! Well I am going to go get me some more Cranberry juice (I have got to the point I crave this stuff, weird, huh?) and start posting. I hope everyone have a lovely day. Remember to keep your cats inside. Give’em a hug and kiss for me!

One more thing, you will notice there is a new post on the blog today, “Saint of the Day.” I have been asked by several Practitioners if I would include this daily and I said yes.  So “Saint of the Day” will become a regular feature now. If you have anything you would like to see or request, just let me know and I will get it on here for you.

Today’s I Ching Hexagram for May 28th is 8:Holding Together

8: Holding Together

 

Hexagram 8

General Meaning: Holding together brings success. But high-level teamwork is achieved only when the right players on the right team share a clear goal at the right time. A team forms its relationships in a delicate manner; chemistry is brewed in the vat of shared experiences. Latecomers cannot share the same depth of union as earlier members. Whole-hearted commitment is required for team success.

All successful teams have a shared vision and a leader. If a team’s leadership is up to the challenge, the team will prosper. In personal and business affairs, just as in basketball, it is hard to win without a strong center.

Accept the structure of the team or partnership if you wish to receive its benefits — otherwise go off on your own. In holding together with others, cling to your own principles, but be willing to subordinate your personal desires for the good of the group. Perhaps you are contemplating becoming a leader of some group; remember that to become the center of influence binding people together is not only a considerable challenge but a serious responsibility. Assess yourself carefully first to see if you are up to the task. If not, it would be better not to commit rather than to go forward without proper preparation.

Happy, Happy Hump Day To Everyone!

I hope everyone is having a great day today. I am adding a special treat in my postings today. I ran across some old Chinese remedies and I will be posting them today. They are tonics and ancient but they still work today. So copy and paste or get your pens out, these are some good tonics. Have a great one, dear friends!

Happy, Happy Thursday, Yes Indeed A Happy Thursday To All!

Good Thursday Morning dear readers and friends! I am not going to write forever I promise. I just wanted to say, “Thank You for all of your prayers, petitions, candle lighting and everything else that was done for my area of the country.” I have always believed that when Pagans come together, we can accomplish great things. I truly believe that now more than ever. Yesterday, I told you I was going to transfer some more info over from my old group. I got throwed off the internet by a fast-moving storm. I turned the TV over to the Weather Channel and there was a huge storm mass coming our direction. The storm was all red which means this storm system is capable of producing tornadoes. One minute the storm was a huge mass, the next it had split right down the middle. The front part that was still headed our direction was slowly dissolving and eventually disappeared. The other mass took a northerly path and missed us totally. That system was the last system headed toward our direction. What was so unusual was the last system splitting the way it did and then just dissolving. As I watched that system, cold chills ran over my body. I knew exactly why this had happened. It happened because of you and your prayers. I wanted to say thank you, dear friends for helping those of us who are in dire straights. Please continue to pray for them. Also continue to pray that our weather stays clear were we can clean up and get those that lost everything a place to stay and anything else they may need. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Today’s I Ching Hexagram for April 18th

Today’s I Ching Hexagram for Everyone:

48: The Well

Monday, April 18th, 2011

Hexagram 48
 
General Meaning: Throughout various cultures and political systems of the world, the well has served as a universal symbol for that which sustains life and provides a constant, inexhaustible source of life-giving nourishment for mankind.

Like the well, human nature is the same around the world. The passage of time does not change its essential dimensions, nor take anything away. Still, just as a well can be deepened to produce clearer, cleaner water, so can we enrich our lives by delving deeply within — into our natural selves, or souls.

Beware of shallow thinking. Like a little learning, it can be dangerous. The image of the well suggests that along with depth comes clarity. Be patient, and penetrate both your problems and your own nature to the core. If you do not lower your bucket to the depths, you’re very likely to come up empty. When greater depth is desired, a lessening of speed is often required.

An Amazing Day…Create A Masterpiece!

An Amazing Day…Create A Masterpiece!

Welcome to Today!

If you choose, you will find that today is an amazing day.

It is filled with countless blessings and opportunities.

You’ll find plenty of reasons to smile and even more to laugh.

You will be given the chance to say “I love you”, “I’m sorry”, “Thank you”, and anything else you want.

In all truth, today welcomes you with no rules.

The only requirement to see all it has to offer is that you live it.

So many people will awaken to this beautiful day and embrace all its blessings.

Why not you?

Today is a new day! It’s your day.

Today, you awaken to a day in which you have the power to make and inspire change.

In fact, it is the ONLY day in which you have any power. You have no control over yesterday. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is a day you haven’t even met, it is beyond our reach. Tomorrow is waiting to reveal itself depending on the actions of just one day… TODAY!

What will you do with today?

Will you finally break free from the victim mentality and take control of your life?

You have been blessed with immeasurable power to make positive changes in your life.

Change things up today!

You will never convince me that we go through everything we go through just to end up where we were when we started. We are here to evolve… to refine and improve ourselves… to inspire and help others do the same.

Today is a new day!

It’s yours to shape. Create a masterpiece!

Happy, Happy Monday!


Good Morning all you lovely people! It is a bright, bright sun shiny day here. I hope the weather is the same wherever you are. I went to sleep last night and slept like a baby. I went to sleep during one of my favorite shows, “Snapped.” I like all the murder mysteries. My husband tells me I have a warped mind. But I have converter him over to “Criminal Minds.” That is about the only one he will watch with me. While the show is going on, he wants all the background to each of the characters. Right in the middle of the show, now! It occasionally gets on my nerves especially when they are playing a new one. I told him the other night I was going to print him out   a score card, maybe that would help, lol! All he wants to watch on the TV is shows about Hitler. I asked him, “how many times can that man kill himself.” Every time I leave during the afternoon, he expects me to come home with a movie. If I don’t he looks like he has lost his last friend. I like he gives me lectures about how we need to cut back but we can afford a movie. I guess that is why we are cutting back were we can watch the movies. I wonder how they would taste with salt and pepper on them! Have a great one!
