Surprise Factor!

And on a Monday! I start a two day conference today at my new job. Could be interesting...

Today's Aquarius Horoscope from Cafe Astrology

March 21, 2011
News you hear today can bring about a scurry of activity and changes in plans, dear Aquarius, mainly because of the surprise factor involved. You might take a sudden interest in a new subject or way of thinking now, and changes occurring now (or simply conversations) can inspire a whole new perspective on your life.

Creativity: Good ~ Love: Good ~ Business: Good

For all of us:

The Sun conjunct Uranus in Aries this morning can bring excitement into our lives as we begin the astrological New Year. We may feel especially open to making changes. If we don't recognize our need for change, we can experience much restlessness. Restriction is hard to tolerate. Our egos are awakened and we seek new ways to express ourselves. There is a need to be creative and unique in our expression of self. Sudden, unexpected events can happen out of the blue with this influence. The Moon leaves Libra at 3:17 PM EDT, when it enters Scorpio

Could be interesting for all of us. Let's hope so. Get your scope here.

Happy Monday.

This-n-That Thursday

Ruminating:

• Today would have been my mother's 81st birthday.
• Today is my former father-in-law's funeral.
• Today is also his son's birthday...
• All three of the above people loved and still love St. Patrick's Day.
• I shall celebrate life today.
• The birds were really happy this morning.
• Dora was especially frisky on our walk.
• My coffee is heavenly.
• I shall celebrate life today.

You?

Saying Goodbye

Augie and Da

Circa 1994

My children are coming back today.

They are gathering to say goodbye to their paternal grandfather.

Da.

A gentleman and a wonderful provider.

A funny, funny man.

Even when he didn't know it;)

He shared his birthday with my babies.

He shared his name with my Augie.

A truly special soul.

Leaves a huge void.

Godspeed, Da.

Godspeed.

I think this is the year my children give up the pediatrician...

The Bird is traveling for summer school.

I secretly hope she needs some shots so we can go to her doctor.

I'm gonna miss the doctors at Willows Pediatrics...

Just like I miss my babies.

It seems like yesterday when Dr. Flynn sent me out of the room,

and then he gave my newborns their shots.

I cried harder than they did that day.

And this one?

Sigh.

Maybe he will let me take him there one more time.

My Idea of a Good Horoscope:

Is one where your day can have both interesting and informative discussions as well as time to fritter my time away with some inconsequential chatter. Life is never dull, is it?

Aquarius: Monday, Mar 14, 2011

A nonstop flow of communication between yourself and the people in your immediate environment is likely today.

You may engage in interesting and informative discussions or fritter your time away in inconsequential chatter

and gossip. Mental curiosity or restlessness may also impel you to take a short trip or visit.
