Well, heck. We’ve been talking about seeing doom around every corner, dealing with heartbreak, and moving on. Notice the trend here? Addressing difficult situations is evidently on the menu and we’re not quite done with the topic, says Tarot. Ignore what Tarot says at your own peril, says Dixie. Ha!

It’s not so bad, though, really. Because if you know how to weather the storms, you are set in inclement weather and sunshine alike. You have the tools, the strength, and the insight on hand, readily available to handle whatever life tosses your way. And that’s a good thing.

Trying to focus on to-do lists and completing tasks, my attention keeps drifting. I try to bear down in the name of efficiency, but it’s not getting me far. What “needs to be done” is of so much less interest than dreaming and exploring and playing. The Page of Cups agrees.
