Time


The 8 of Wands from the Sacred Circle tarot by Anna Franklin.

What bothers me the most is not having enough time to do what brings me joy.  80% of that would be playing with my cards.  Now that I am above ground again and back on the path, I want so much to write a blog everyday, keep up with all my fav blogs and spend time with a deck or a book.  Fitting this time in eludes me.  So far.  It frustrates me.

My job creates a very busy, not exactly stress free, day.  And I do it well.  Unfortunately, once home there isn't much left.  I have been successful working back in an exercise routine and have been faithfully sticking with it.  That happens as soon as I get home.  I made myself an exercise calendar marked with what needs to be done on a particular day, hung it on my closet door and sign off after I am finished.  Worked.

Perhaps the 8 of Wands wants me to sit down and figure out a plan for the "me" stuff I am so missing.  Not likely will I be able to do something every evening so my goal will be to work a few hours in over the week days and plan my weekends to give me a whole day to myself.  That will have to be flexible but mostly workable.  At least it would be a start.

There is just too much to do and not enough hours in the day ... I need more hours and I need more mental energy left for the evenings.

Some books say the 8 of Wands will bring me a message of love or romance ... hmmm.  Probably not.

  1. I wish you good luck with scheduling time for yourself and your cards. Perhaps it's an idea to make a list with relaxing tarot activities. (making mandala's meditating with a card etc), In that way you can recover from the working day and do something with your cards at the same time

    1. Thanks, Ellen, for some great ideas. Fitting in a meditation session is also on the list. Problem is by the time I get home, exercise ... then I have to prepare myself food and eat it ... well by the end of that, I am ready for a hot bubble bath (which is heaven for me) and bed. I know .. do a mediation in the bath. haha. Am off to work for the day. You have a good one.

  2. It is really tough to schedule everything in. I remember Carla at Rowan Tarot doing a pie chart of how she spends her time, and how much free time that leaves - not a cheerful sight. Still, congratulations on planning your workouts and sticking to them - that's definitely something! :)

    1. Yes, I am proud of sticking to the workout routines. I do best with a routine, just need to figure it all out. Obviously work pays the bills so comes first. Can only do what I can do ... little bit here and there.
