Today’s card is from a deck I saw online and HAD to have. Why? Well this card is one of the reasons. I mean…dragonfly swords? What’s not to love about USGames Tarot of a Moon Garden?
While I am mad for dragonflies (have one tattooed on my arm!), they are not what pull me into this card today. No. The first thing was the knight’s helm. Empty. But where was the knight? I saw the unicorn with the interesting interpretation of what seems to be the Eye of Ra.
I saw a piece of armor on the other side of the unicorn. Then I realized that it was two leg pieces. What’s more? Those weren’t empty.
I tracked back to the unicorn and then I saw him, or her. Leaning against the unicorn, is a knight who has just had enough of the battle.
Taking solace in his companion, our knight rests. His sword is ready if he needs it, but for now, he rests.
I am reminded that I don’t rest enough. I don’t take down time as often as I should. I work 8 hours (9 if you include lunch), then come home to do readings, work on the blog, write, take care of the animals, the house.
Now I don’t think my life is all that unusual, darlings. We all live a busy life. But sometimes I live it as if I’m a paratrooper on a plan with a jump master screaming, “GO GO GO” in my ear.
I have to wonder if that is necessary. Today I have a full schedule. Part of that is chatting with someone about cleaning my place for me. Having that off my plate would be nice. And she is an organizer to boot. So I’ll be talking about that as well.
We all need the right kind of rest. What is your “right kind?”
That’s your journal prompt for today.
“What is the right kind of rest for me? What makes me feel refreshed?”

#seekjoy, y’all. Pass it on!
I’ve been mad busy for several weeks now, sick dogs at night, and was traveling, too. So I haven’t gotten the decent kind of sleep I need (7 hrs, unbroken). the last couple days I had to go to a wake and a funeral, too, and I had to get up early. Last night was the first night I didn’t ‘have’ anything going. I was on fb right before bed and watched this utube video of kittens and cats playing in boxes and containers. it was adorable. and I thought to myself, if you watch that and go to sleep, you’ll sleep well. And I slept 8 hrs straight without waking once. And have felt good all day!
