Whatever you do or begin today will bear the stamp of your individuality more than anything else. This is the day to assert yourself anew.
According to the astrological calendar today is really my birthday. So, happy birthday, again, to me. Today has proved to be more positive than yesterday and certainly more pleasant. While I mentally compose “thank you” notes to the person responsible for my present unemployment- harmless entertainment as long as I don’t send them- I have been drifting through the day. Sunshine and those long stretchy shadows of winter afternoons are as entertaining as the snow this morning. Saw a gold finch at the feeder. He slipped in under the beaks of the blue jays, the gang of thugs presently dominating the feeder areas. The cardinals need to come back, drive away the jays. Or the woodpecker king could arrive. He doesn’t do much but tap on the tree branches, but it is enough to keep every bird in line. I am sorry the crows are gone. I’ve become quite attached to the avian outcasts.
Oh well, assert anew, away and above. Some days it is best to quack like a duck and other days it helps to moo.

/ January 20, 2012I am with you on being currently unemployed, but as the, one of many possible, saying goes, “You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one!” So put your book down and go celebrate your 2nd birthday! Happy Birthday!

/ January 21, 2012I am going to loose myself in snow and ice and the great superior shore. I plan to build stone markers and rock people and walk the beach and try not to fall in. Then I am going to sit by the fire and write long winsome poems about it. All of it. Or I might just sit and stare at the lake.
