Wheel of Fortune from Anna K. Tarot deck

With the Wheel of Fortune guiding us through the week of January 13 to 19 2020,
the best approach is to accept the unexpected.

This week we may see big shifts in our lives.

Unexpected turns of events will change our plans. Flexibility therefore is an asset.

The Wheel of Fortune is that card in the deck that reminds us that destiny plays a role.

It represents those times when we find ourselves in the right place at the right time, or in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The card reminds us that change is part of life and inevitable.

When we find ourselves at the top of the Wheel, we may as well make the most of it and enjoy it, without taking it for granted.

When we find ourselves at the bottom of it, we need to remember that things can and will get better.

The key here is to keep in mind that there are things and situations we cannot control. Attempting to do so would be a waste of time and energy.

Expect the tempo of life to speed up a bit this week.

Try to keep your center, stay aware of your surroundings.

Be flexible, adaptable and try to go with the flow.

Once things settle, you will know if the spin pushed you farther ahead or behind.
Assess and deal with it the best you can.

Something else to consider is what you want, and how far you are ready to go to get it. Are you going to let go at the first adversity or are you ready and willing to make adjustments when the ride gets rough?
Can you be objective when assessing what you can control and what you cannot?

Last, but not least, there is an element of gamble here. I am not one to play the lottery , place bets and so on, but if you do, this may be the time to play, within your limits of course.
The Wheel of Fortune is finicky, it can be your friend today, but not tomorrow.

Here we are at the end of September.

The weather here is spectacular. It is sunny and warm and we may break records.

The lawn is green, lots of flowers are still blooming, the leaves on the trees have started to change colour and fall.

I am happy to report that I am doing much better. My back is not hurting anymore and I am back in business.

Last week I celebrated another birthday.
Some people don’t like to be reminded of such milestones. It makes them feel old.

Personally I love birthdays! They don’t need to be extravagant, but they are in my eyes worth of celebration.

Time goes by any way, it does not need our permission. I acknowledge my birthdays with gratitude for the fact that I am still here.

No, I am not that old, but my father passed away young and unexpectedly, teaching me that we should never take tomorrow for granted.

I always call those I cherish on their birthdays, because I am happy they are still in my life and I want them to know it.

Appreciating the wonderful weather, I am spending as much time as possible outdoors.

Today I have been gardening and I am eating on the deck or the porch almost every meal.

Before I know it there will be snow on the ground, so I seize the day.

I am also painfully aware of all the natural disasters going on in so many parts of the world and my heart breaks for all involved, people and animals.

One more reason to appreciate when the going is good, because the Wheel Of Fortune always turns.

To the many who are suffering at this time I send love. If you are one of them I wish you to stay strong because things will get better.
