This Week

It’s been quite a rollercoaster of emotions this week. Thankfully, the painful ones we experienced shortly after Nacho’s death have begun to soften. Yesterday we smiled as we shared memories of when we first brought her home at the age of four months and laughed out loud at some of her funny antics over the years. We will always miss her, of course, but at least we’ve stopped being blubbering messes throughout the day. And stopped going through box after box of Kleenex.

You know what we finally did? We joined Netflix at the beginning of the month. I think we are the only ones from almost everyone I know who took this long to sign up. Now I wonder why we hesitated. So. Many. Options. And so much catching up to do. I’m especially loving being able to select a movie at the click of a button. We recently watched “Hidden Figures”. Such a great film. Such incredible women. Have you seen the film? What did you think about it? All that racism and sexism was really frustrating.

I am enjoying my spiritual journey. I’m reading and learning about tarot cards, so I haven’t used my new deck yet since I’m not quite ready. There is no need to rush. But the oracle cards have been a daily meditation that has not only been inspiring but also very helpful. I’ve picked up two sets and there are a few others I’d like to get. YouTube videos have been especially helpful in getting a glimpse at cards to help with the decision. They’re also the reason my Amazon wish list keeps growing. Do you use oracle or tarot cards? Do you have any favourites? Oh, and another thing I want to treat myself to in the near future is a chakra bracelet. They are really beautiful.

Drawings. I have some to share. None of them were done this week but that doesn’t really matter, does it? Of course not. Here they are:

And my first attempt at Simon’s cat:

This week also included a few days off the internet, which was a great contributor to the healing process. You know what else was great about being off the internet? Being totally disconnected. Not having a single clue about what was going on in the world, and especially not being constantly bombarded by news about the same annoying people (I won’t name names or point fingers no matter how tempting) and all the ridiculous things they say, was wonderful.

And that’s it for this week. It’s been a tough one, for sure, but things are getting better. One day at a time.

A happy weekend to all!
