Tarot by Jacqueline | What a Difference A Year Makes…
“What a difference a day makes Twenty-four little hours Brought the sun and the flowers Where there used to be rain My yesterday was blue, dear Today I’m part of you, dear My lonely nights are through, dear Since you said you were mine” Dinah Washington – “What a Difference a Day Makes” 1959 Today is sunny and windy, nice considering a thunderstorm blew through late last night. It’s a Saturday and it is just myself and the Viking King, aka my guy, in the Cape...

Oh Lord, I’ve SWUM in this river. Sometimes it was deep. Sometimes stanky and gross. Sometimes dark, but all times not a good place to Be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The woman that has received a reading some time ago, texts me out of the blue.

Yesterday, April 19th, was the feast day of Saint Expedite, Patron Saint of Procrastination. How fitting. Earlier in the year, I had posted a celebration altar ritual for him to be set on his day, but the scourge that is World is facing cancelled those plans. Now I can understand how little children, and teens graduating are feeling about the cancellation of their special day. Think of the weddings being cancelled. Life being put on hold for awhile.
