Full Moon Baby - Day 26

Tonight the full moon is in Scorpio, opposite the sun in Taurus.  This is the moon I was born under.  I'm a full moon baby.  The moon is so beautiful tonight. Very large. I can imagine what she looked like coming up over the ocean, or over the mountains.  Scorpio is all about hidden things,  and because it is a water sign it is about emotions.  Moon is also feelings and emotions so a Scorpio moon can trigger a lot of deep feelings, some we didn't know we had hidden. Scorpio is intuitive too. 

Taurus is an earth sign, practical, loving, stubborn, want stability, pleasure seekers. We want to know why and how.  Prove it to us.

People with the Sun in Taurus and Moon in Scorpio have very complex personalities. They are passionate, mysterious and pleasure-driven people. ... Taurus Sun Scorpio Moon personalities tend to be secretive and they are usually guided by intuition. Their sharp intuition often makes other people rely on them for advice.

I am so glad the sky is clear tonight so I could take these pictures.  Yes I know I only touched on this subject briefly but because this is my birth moon it means a lot to me.

My First Wedding - Day 25

 I found a letter my mother wrote to her sisters dated January 8, 1945. There was a recipe for her meat loaf and she wrote, "though I'd think you'd have a hard time getting the meat."  This is because it was during the war and meat was rationed.   Mother mentioned about her sister Dolly who made a wedding dress for me.  She wrote, "It is beautifully done and Maurie (I went by my middle name then) looks like an angel in it.  We took pictures of her in it in front of our xmas tree and when we print them I'll send you one."

 Here I am in the dress

The Brellue - Day 24

 This rainy Saturday afternoon, day 24 of my blogging every day in April. Gosh only six more days to go.  

I like to be silly.  Even goofy too.  I make up lyrics to familiar tunes and don't hesitate to sing them in my house.  When my son was little I read him Dr. Seuss books and cracked myself up laughing so hard that he didn't know what was so funny - except Mama was almost screaming with laughter.  I never could read those books out loud without laughing.

That got me thinking what kind of things would I dream up if I was writing a silly book.   Well here is one silly animal I sketched.

The Brellue is a pretty one.  I hear he is lots of fun.  I wonder if there are some more like him behind the oven door.  You should be glad he doesn't look like you.

There are more - like Little Miss Yink, the Preen, Miss Maruple who always wears purple.

Bedtime already! Day 23

 Boy have I been procrastinating today.  Now that it is almost bedtime I don't even remember what I actually did.  Oh yes, we had a food delivery and the bread did not arrive.  It was one of the things I needed the most.  But we can go to the grocery store more safely now for a few things and it just might be good to get out.

I spent a lot of time looking for a folder with my silly animal drawings for a blog. Finally I found it - in another room. I had forgotten I moved it. 

Ok I'm going to say goodnight and get myself to sleep.  

Angel Hugs to you all.

Importance - Day 22

 Here it is after 10pm and I am just writing my blog for the day.   I spent the day very happy that the dentist appointment was behind me.  So relieved.  I continued with my sorting through papers and notebooks and made some good headway.  Took a nap, played some games, was on a zoom call.  

My blog today is a poem that I've loved for many years.  I'm sure many of us can identify.

IMPORTANCE 

by

Carol Combs

I've mending I must do and beds to make,
I should not sit and watch the red sun set

Behind the hills of afternoon; nor take

this time to dream when I have work. And yet

supposing that I go at duty's call

to make the beds and sweep the floor; what then?

these things have no great value after all,

tomorrow they must all be done again.

I have too many of such tasks to do;

Therefore, I shall forget them, every one,

And I shall sit and feel the rising dew

And watch the haze around the setting sun,

And I may find time for the housework too

When this, more important thing, is done.

This is sort of what I've been doing today in my own way.

I'm blogging every day this April with a group of creative, caring, loving people in Effy's blog-a-thong and it's been such fun reading and writing.

Anxious But Let's Get it Done - Day 21

Since I'm fully vaccinated I'm catching up on things that I've put off since staying isolated from Covid.

Today is getting my teeth cleaned and seeing if I need a tooth pulled.   After a childhood filled with surgeries, doctor appointments, dentists and braces, I have every right to feel anxious. Sometimes I am more anxious than others.   Today I am anxious but not focusing on it except for writing a blog about it.  I am feeling bits of warm pulses of anxiety energy running through my body.  I allow myself to feel it instead of pushing it down.  I do some mental eft tapping, take some slow deep breathing and blow out the anxious energy. Thankfully I have more tools to use now than when I was a child.  Back then I just swallowed my fears and suffered a lot of stomach aches.  

This is how I feel about going to the dentist.

Going to the dentist

Rewards are important and I've been thinking what I will give myself.  I know I want to get a new phone, so that will be a possible reward.  Depending on today's outcome will decide if food will be a reward.

Please make it easy - Day 20

 Since getting fully vaccinated and waiting two weeks, we've cautiously ventured out.  Even though it's nice to know that we are more protected now than before, I still want to be careful.  Now we have some catching up to do.  Dentist appointments, Doctor visits, Eye Doctors and more.  I felt a bit overwhelmed and anxious thinking about it all.  Plus I have had agoraphobia and going outside my comfort zone has been problematic at times. 

I am very much into talking with my angels, pulling angel cards, doing angel readings for others. I've taken some really amazing classes with Radleigh Valentine that were so helpful. So I asked my angels and spirit buddies to help make all this easier.  

Sunday night before going to bed I decided to write a list of things I wanted to get done on Monday.

1) Write my blog

2) Pay bills

3) See if I could renew our driver's license online

4) Renew prescriptions

5) Go to Lowe's

6) See what it takes to make some changes with our insurance plan.

I managed to do everything on the list in the morning except Lowes.  But after lunch I got a 2nd surge of energy, so we went to Lowes to see about ordering a new slide in stove top.  I felt a little anxious when we left but kept thinking about my angel crew helping me and doing some mental tapping.   Would you believe they can't even order one until the middle of June? I had to laugh because that was easy.  I mean we didn't have to stand around waiting for paperwork and all that.  We have one burner that will work sometimes.  I also bought a single burner hot plate and may order another. 

On the way home we stopped at the grocery store and picked up some fried chicken and a rotisserie chicken. That was a nice treat and will make meals easier. 

I emailed my brother to see if he could come over and help me get my printer working again.  He's my computer guy and if it wasn't for him I'm not at all sure I'd be online. 

This morning he came over and again I asked my Angel group to help make this printer work again and to make it easier.  Archangel Michael is the angel to call to help fix things including electronics. 

 

Now my printer is working again. 

I have a dental appointment tomorrow afternoon and instead of just calling in one angel I am going to take them all with me and hopefully that will be easy too.

So if you have something that's difficult or makes you anxious just call on your angels for help.  You probably won't hear a voice from the clouds but you could get some new thoughts or see a feather, some coins or you will be nudged to look at your clock or watch and see 3:33, 11:11 or other special numbers.  There are so many ways our angels can help us and again
