Celtic Messages ~ Take Care of Yourself

It’s been a while since I’ve found time to work on my blog again. I drew these two cards from the Celtic Messages a couple of days ago:

• Card 19: The Ford (Crossing Boundaries, Overcoming Obstacles, Reconciling Opposites) This card indicates that you a facing an obstacle but have the ability to overcome it. The only way to do this is to confront it, understand it and work through it. You can’t go around it – it can’t be avoided.
• Card 31: Mistletoe (Fertility, Protection, Healing) This card suggests you pay attention to your health – physical, mental and spiritual. Consider your lifestyle and make the changes necessary to maintain your well-being.

This is really something I needed to hear.  Lately, I’ve not been taking the time to care for myself the way I should.  I got out of the habit of riding my exercise bike when I was so upset about my cats and I never got back to it – I keep meaning to but I never do.  I’ve been eating too much and at the wrong times.

Not just that, I’ve not been taking the time to piddle around with my cards that I used to – that is important for my mental and spiritual well-being.  Seeing what the cards have to say seems to be very “centering” and makes me feel in touch with myself.   I’ve been doing a lot more with and for family and friends – that is important but you can’t forget to take care of yourself either.

So, I need to cross that river in the Ford – just take the plunge and walk across to taking better care of my physical and mental health!  Hopefully, tomorrow – we’ll see because we have to go to another birthday party and dinner.  It always seems so rude to not eat birthday cake.

I saw the new Poll button on the WordPress Editor so I decided to try a poll!
