When the stars align, you get a Sun card ... There wasn't a thing in the reading that did not relate, or that I disagreed with.
I'm saving it here because I couldn't get the link to work.
Finance
The Sun is a positive sign indicating improvements in the realm of finance ... Financial well-being could be just around the corner for you as long as your stay positive when things don't go your way. There are many lenders available if you are looking to finance a new home or a new car and in some cases, it might be smart to get hire an accountant to help with the management of all that money. Another way to finance your life and projects could be by investing in the stock market.
My thoughts:
Something changed in me a few years back about money ... I stopped thinking about NOT having it. Then, it showed up. Not all magical and shit. I worked for it, and still do, but letting go of the old anxieties kind of cleared the way for more of it to show up. There is some quote about "Change what you think about, and what you think about will change ..." I have no idea the author, but it's true.
Example:
Flip this script:
"Oh my God, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I don't have enough. I'll never have enough. This sucks!"
to
"Life is good. We have a roof; we have food; we have the best bed in the world; we have love. Everything else will work itself out."
Everything changed once I changed thought processes. It's not instant gratification. Shit does not magically appear, but it does appear. I just had to get out of my own way, so I did. The darkness is 99.9888% gone.
... The logical and enlightened Sun has now tamed the darkness inside.

When you draw the Sun card it indicates that wonderful things are on the way. It may be a sign of impending delivery or the arrival of something new in your life. The money you've been waiting for has finally arrived, and you're feeling more confident and rewarded for your efforts. However, you should exercise caution since prolonged exposure to the sun may result in sunburn.
Me: Don't go all ostrich. Look around. See what there is to see, but FFS, LET. IT. GO. The only thing we have absolute control over in this life is OUR OWN SELF. Period. Everything else will work itself out.
Finding the Sun is a wonderful thing since it is an intrinsically beneficial card. It denotes personal gain, success, and the realization of personal objectives and pleasure if you are prepared to put in the work to achieve them. This kind of reward requires a positive attitude. The Sun has a strong effect on anybody starting a new personal endeavor ...
Me: Fitting, given the impending new year. However, I don't have to wait for then (even though I probably will) The "fresh start" feels good. The key is to hold on to THAT feeling, and not allow the impatience to take over. I am prepared to put in the work. I know that effort pays off, even when it doesn't seem like it.

Happiness may or may not be something you feel often depending on where you are, what you do in your life, and who you spend your time with. When the Sun card appears, though, you should begin carefully considering your happiness, where it comes from, and how much of it you have. Be open to happiness, the Sun card indicates that joy will soon knock on your door. When drawing the Sun card, there are a few great things you should ask yourself. Where do you find happiness? Is it possible for you to be open to happiness? Should you be happier than you are right now? Are you giving yourself enough credit and appreciation for what you've accomplished?
Me: Coming from a person who was (in the past) constantly told to "Smile ... You're so pretty when you smile ..." (As if I'm ugly when I don't?), I have observed that I probably have two or three interchangeable expressions. I don't wear a fake happy face. If I smile, I mean it. If I frown I mean it. Otherwise, I'm usually just wearing a RMF (Resting Me Face) ... Like this ...
It's not a frown, or a sad face. It's how my face looks, period.
1. Where do I find happiness? Here at home with my Beloved and the animal babies. Elephants. I can find happiness any damned time I see an elephant. In fact, I am surrounded by elephant posters, elephant figurines, and elephant art ... I ADORE ELEPHANTS.
2. Am I open to happiness? Of course I am. Most of all, I'm open to just being myself, and letting the days take me where they will, or ME taking myself where I will. There is zero point to seeking out the misery. I am always open to spending more time with elephants, animals, in general, and the things that bring me joy.
3. Should I be happier? I don't know. I COULD be happier were I in another location, but I am quite content in the here and now, as well. Mostly, it's about choosing happy rather than choosing to wallow.
4. Do I give myself enough credit? Probably not, but I am getting better at it. I'm getting better at shutting down the negative feeds, and focusing on my positive aspects.
What The Sun Means for You Today
The Sun has appeared today as a positive omen of things to come. Happiness is literally in the cards for you today. It could be that something positive happens today or it could be that you are simply going to be in a good mood for no apparent reason. In some cases, it can also mean that something that has been blocking your happiness will be illuminated and you are going to dissolve this blockage. It's worth noting that both the Sun and young children like shown in the card have little to no expectation, which is part of what allows them to shine so brightly. Don't let the expectation of something positive get in the way of your happiness in the present.
Me: It was a fairly decent day. I got shit done. I kicked a lot of ass, work wise. The majority of blockages have been cleared, and there haven't been any real major blockades as of late, so it's all good. I don't sit around EXPECTING anything. I know that things will work out at the right time, and we will get to where we want to be when WE make it happen and when it's meant to be. Whenever I start getting overwhelmed with too many negatives, fears, etc., I just change what I'm looking at, thinking about, or doing, and do something else. I can't tell you how to do it. You just have to do it. You can cling to the negative BS or you can try something different. The choice is always and forever yours.
Day 53 Progress
Weight: 205.2
What I et:
- The morning coffee(s) 1.5-ish
- Some pepperoni slices
- Some Dill-Pickle almonds
- A keto-friendly PB cup ... I had several PB cups. Because I could.
- A bit of pork sauteed in butter, with sour cream. Not much. I wasn't in the mood.
- Some pork rinds and chip dip, keeping with the pork theme sporadically throughout the day
- A horrible recipe from NYT which indicated to add a magical metric F-ton of lemon, by way of juice, and zest, which made it fairly unbearable to consume. No amount of garlic, shallots, thyme, butter, or chicken broth cut that lemon. Nope. I ate about 1/3 of it. I could not ...
37 Days to Goal!
