So, when I saw a day or so ago, the Five of Cups would be next in the lineup, I went, “Oh no!” It’s the mourning card, you know.
First of all, it’s an ouchy card, no question. And secondly, whenever I get a card for my daily draw, I usually hope I’ll kind of be able to relate, provide a story from my life. Many times it’s something current.
Who wants to see THIS card for something current?!
Truth is, though, this guy IS me lately.
I installed some software that messed up a bunch of my work, and had a mini-meltdown over it. It ended up forcing me to make some improvements I needed to make overall, (meaning, it will be better in the long run), but MAN, I was still pissed. Except I shouldn’t put it in the past tense, because to be honest, it’s not entirely gone.
I did a redesign on this site, pushing HARD to finish it this weekend because I was “almost there,” and blew it up at the last minute. I had to work with tech support to fix it. Or, sort of fix it.
You Everyday Tarot junkies may have noticed the lack of column for Sunday…that was it!
But the details are pretty trivial (to anybody but me). The point is, this scenario has been playing out multiple ways in my life, I’m not proud to say. Over and over and over again, it’s been playing out.
It’s like focusing on the headache instead of the fact you can get rid of the headache and really, a headache is manageable. It may be a freakin’ evil headache, but t’s a damn headache, for God’s sakes! It’s not a terminal diagnosis, man. I’ve had a lot of headaches here lately.
I mean, there’s nothing wrong with acknowledging pain—difficulty, loss, struggle. Sometimes, getting that love and support from others who care about us is helpful. (And thank you, to those who reached out to me!)
What’s not so helpful is sitting around crying about what isn’t working, what you don’t have, what you don’t like, what you don’t want. And this, my friends, is what I’ve been doing via regular mini-meltdowns.
Enough already! I am ready to turn around, pick up the cups I’ve got and refill them with something to my liking!
Who’s with me?

I pulled the 5 of cups as well today… And yikes can I relate. My computer crashed yesterday and I didn’t have a recent backup – stupid! I’ve lost almost everything that was on there.
Lesson learned, not going a day without backing up anymore, but it still hurts.
Sorry to hear about your site, Dixie!
I’m sure it will look great when it’s completely finished! Looking great already!
OH my God, Ingrid! I so feel your pain!! Hugs to you.
It’s like I was telling Captain Virgo last night. There is a certain point with tech problems where you have no choice but to go all Zen. There are just no other option but to accept.
Thank you for the hugs, Dixie!
I’ve lost so many things that were on there. My sons first baby pictures and videos… unreplacable. My almost finished Master Thesis (Yep, I was so stupid not to have a recent backup of those things either). Lost the chakra workbook too bleh! =)
But yeah, you’re so right, there is just no other option than accepting at one point. It’s the I replaceable things that hurt the most.
OH NO!!! I’m so, so sorry, Ingrid. Here I was complaining about a week’s work, you lost your baby pictures, videos and your Thesis!!! That’s awful.
The Chakra workbook I will email to you. That’s not much but I can do that.
Much love, dear.
Sorry for the weird sentences…
Commenting on an iPhone sucks =/
The site looks fantastic though!
Thank you, Shannon.
I hope it gets better for all of us very soon.
(((hugs)))
I’m hanging in there, hon. How about you? ♥
Sometimes it’s one day at a time. We are hanging in there too though.
First it was an out-of-town funeral, then an illness, then a roof leak, then another different illness, then… Well, you get the picture. Funny? That’s just the last 10 days. So used to it by now, the non-stop curve balls, I no longer get upset. These curve balls keep derailing my day’s intention, my goal, but what can I do. I keep swinging the bat. That being said, at the same time, miracles like never before in my life are happening. One after the other. It is a scary as all shit process. I’m am scared shitless, every day. But a calm scared shitless. I’m going along for the ride!
You don’t charge us to read this. No need to apologize!
