Today I'm taking this moment to put aside the card of the day. My good friend Joe, who is not only my friend, but a photographer, welder, craftsman, and my personal hero for showing me how to lead a happy life, is in the hospital.
He is battling cancer and could use all the good thoughts you can send his way.

The Ten of Swords
Card of the Day: The Ten of Swords.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider-Waite_tarot_deck#/media/File:Swords10.jpg
Our poor trampled soul has washed up on the shores. This card is supposed to show us at a low point. We feel like we have nothing else to loose.
I feel this is a welcome card. It may show us at our worst moment, however, it means we have turned the tide and are going to begin our assent upwards. Whatever lessons we have learned from getting to this place will be use as we move forward.
You cannot escape the roller coaster of life. We got onto this ride the moment we were born. The best thing you can do is raise your arms up over your head on the highs and scream for all your worth on the curves. When your stomach starts getting queasy, be glad your in the front seats and not sitting behind.
When the Ten of Swords shows up for you, best to take the time to remove the swords one by one, and begin again.

The Hanged Man
Card of The Day: The Hanged Man.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider-Waite_tarot_deck#/media/File:RWS_Tarot_12_Hanged_Man.jpg
Our friend the Hanged Man is visiting us today. He has found himself in a precarious predicament. The plans he has made have not worked out as he has laid them out. He is past anger and resentment. Now he is reflective and calm.
We as humans are often tested. The only people who are not tested are the ones who don't do anything. If your hypothesis fails, take the time to look over your steps and make improvements. You will often find you are forgiven if you admit your wrongs and amend your ways. Do not fear the Hanged Man. He is at peace and will soon be on his way with the knowledge and wisdom from his experiences.

The Queen of Cups
Card of The Day: The Queen of Cups.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider-Waite_tarot_deck#/media/File:Cups13.jpg
The Queen of Cups graces us with her presence today. Our kind matriarch is a welcome guest.
She will hopefully influence us all today. Her gentle manner and genuine caring for everyone around her is infectious. She is very intuitive and a good listener. She does not get her way by using force. She will use reason and conviction to persuade her arguments.
The Queen will often be found in the garden or walking in the forest. She is very spiritual, and finds these places a comfort. You might also find her helping others in need as well. It would not be surprising to find her in a soup kitchen or social service helping others. She is not a shrinking violet. Even in the ugliest of situations, her compassion will enable her to help those who have befallen desperate situations.
I myself hope I can share a a cup of tea with The Queen today.

The Four of Wands
Card of The Day: The Four of Wands.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider-Waite_tarot_deck#/media/File:Wands04.jpg
Oh what a beautiful Four of Wands day! The four of wands represents celebration. Every so often we get to put aside our tasks and responsibilities to take part in merry making. The Four of Wands reminds us to cherish these moments. Don't take for granted these occasions when they occur. There are plenty of times for responsibility and tasks to strike off your to do list. Put them aside and breath in a little bit of joy and happiness. After all this is what we live for.

Eleanor Roosevelt & The High Priestess
Card of The Day: The High Priestess.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider-Waite_tarot_deck#/media/File:RWS_Tarot_02_High_Priestess.jpg
After my wife and I finished the documentary "The Roosevelt's", I found my perfect example for The High Priestess. This is of course 'Eleanor Roosevelt'. She lived in a time when it was very hard for women to be taken seriously in politics.
Eleanor lead through example. She showed us how to be compassionate to our fellow man. She wielded her power not through force, but through conviction. Like the High Priestess, she was calm instead of belligerent. She showed us how to be gracious in public without being precocious. Eleanor spent a great deal of time with people who were seriously injured and destitute. She wanted to give them hope and assistance. She was motivated, like The High Priestess, to leave this world a better place than when she came into it.
I hope I can live up to the lessons of Eleanor Roosevelt-The High Priestess.

The Lovers
Card of The Day: The Lovers.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider-Waite_tarot_deck#/media/File:RWS_Tarot_06_Lovers.jpg
I think we all have preconceived notions of what the Lovers card is all about. Yessss_, there is the sexual aspect to it. However, there is a union part that is very strong.
You would like to see this card come up when doing a business deal. Both parties wanting to come together to make a happy outcome for both partners.
This card is also very forward looking. You are not out for a fling; your looking to change your life to the betterment of two, not just one.
Always beware the high emotions that come with The Lovers Card. Who has not witnessed the hurtful words of the lovers spat. True lovers will patch things up and move ahead. We see this in business as well. Momentary obstacles and hurt feelings do not last long.
Today, move forward together, or patch up a minor spat.

The Seven of Pentacles
Card of The Day: The Seven of Pentacles.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pents07.jpg
The Seven of Pentacles makes me think about my present endeavour. My wife is editing the final pages of the book I wrote. I am sitting back waiting for the final product to bloom. Me and my friends have worked hard at getting to this place. I am taking a bit of time to reflect before picking the fruits of our labor.
It's always good to take the opportunity to assess what you have accomplished, and where you have taken missteps. Evaluating your direction and goals can be very helpful too.
I hope you all get to take advantage of the Seven of Pentacles over a nice cup of coffee on a sunny day.
