Scary/beautiful

An odd day. Such scary financial news, very worrying on a global level and right here at home. I’m pretty much one piece of bad news away from unpleasant choices in my future, but that news hasn’t come in yet, and it may yet turn out well, and then it will okay. But there is nothing I can do to affect the course of events. All I can do is wait… I feel not so much stressed right now as stretched, suspended between possibilities that are just a little too far apart for comfort.

And in the meantime, it’s an achingly beautiful day here, made all the more so by being unexpected. Clear and blue and 75 degrees, green leaves and red berries and three exuberant roses (red, white and a lavender one that feels and smells so soft), the birds throwing themselves around the sky with exuberant whistling songs… And tomorrow is a Special Day so I am thinking of a Special Post, and making Special Preparations.

I don’t know what will happen. I just don’t know. I guess we’ll see. I suppose one reason I was compelled to write yesterday about returning to balance is that I am getting a lot of practice right now. I hope that your balancing act is going well, whatever it may be.

  1. I’m looking at some pretty unpleasant choices myself. Even so, as unpleasant as it might be for a while I know we’ll be ok.

    I’m hoping you don’t have to go there.

    We’re having weird weather here. It actually poured down rain this morning with THUNDER. That never happens this early. Didn’t last long, but now it’s very hot and muggy – thick air. Kinda surreal.

    Probably the financial news will look better in a few days.

  2. This is one of those times when I do wish I was the center of the Universe, heir to a powerful and wealthy family, or master of a portal to a demon dimension so I could command my legion of minions into making sure everyone I cherish and love was set for life.

    If any of these scenarios were true (more so the portal one, which is the most likely), you’d hear the doorbell ring this very moment. You’d go answer to find two horned yet nice-smelling feathered creatures. They would courtesy and say, “We are at your service, Queen Kelley.”

    I can’t offer any certainties, other than the wise saying… You know, the one that tells us we may not always get what we want but we always get what we need. Whether it’s a lesson in balance or a hug or an unexpected sunny day and a celebration.
