Joy!!

Unfortunately not much time for tarot these tax season work days. Sad yes.  And since my relocation last November, the commute to work is two hours a day spent in a car.  The positive is I get to spend these two hours with my son.  We work only ten minutes from each other so everything has worked out.  It is joy to spend these two hours five days a week with him.

We used to leave in the dark, come home in the dark.  Then when the weather was right, amazing sunsets.  The last two weeks, we get to see the sun rise.  What a sight.  Pure joy.  Going home, the sun is higher and not quite ready to set.  But the occasional great picture shows itself.  As we drive along I can't stop myself from snapping picture after picture.  Even on the worst days when it is stormy and windy, nature is truly amazing.  A little dangerous at times for sure.  The winter stormy part of the commute isn't exactly joyful and it has been a bad winter.

My goal: Keep finding joy in the simple things.  They are everywhere. This was last Thursday on the way home a little later than usual.  Sun right in our eyes.


My card of the day today: Understanding (Page of Water) from the Osho Zen Tarot.  Perfect.

'Til next time

    1. Hi Kate. It allows me to pay more attention to nature. The scenery on either side of highway is farmland. Right now snow covered but can't wait to watch it all unfold. It all helps make the commute seem shorter.

    1. Hi Ellen. I feel free!! My son and I have always been close but for many years our "talks" have been by way of the phone with occasional visits. Being able to see him five days of the week whether we talk or not is a blessing. xxxooo

  3. I'm glad your changes have worked out positively.
    When I had a long commute for 9 months I started using books on tape which has remained a favorite way to 'read' and sew at the same time.

    The best of Spring to you and your son, Sharyn

    1. Thanks Sharyn. I hope there are signs of spring where you are. Not so much here but soon, at least one can hope. My son and I listen to a daily podcast he introduced me too. I love it. It makes us laugh, it starts conversations and a great way to begin and end our day.

  4. Your photo of the sun setting over the winter landscape made me sigh - very beautiful!

    1. Thanks, yes, so beautiful. The sun is now too high in the sky for beauty sunsets on our drive home. However, for a short while, the sunrise has been more than amazing. Many photos taken ....
