Happy Friday to all. Of course Lent is long over, but there was a lovely sale on salmon when I went to the store on Wednesday, so I picked up a nice piece, a bit over a pound, of beautiful fish. I'm making that for tonight's dinner, in foil as I usually do (my favorite salmon recipe). I'll drop by the store today to pick up a couple of lemons, but I have everything else, including fresh rosemary, already in my refrigerator.
My Tarot lessons have been reviewing each of the four suits in detail. We started with the suit of Swords on Wednesday, then Wands yesterday, and today was Cups. Of the three, I felt confident with the Swords and the Cups, but the Wands are dancing just out of my reach. I even listened to the lesson a second time, handling the cards again, but I'm still not confident in my feel for Wands. I know all of this comes with practice, but it's nice when I can think of a situation and know what card best exemplifies is, or look at a card and know the situation it's describing. It'll come, but it's nice when it becomes a bit more intuitive.
My story for this week seems to be in the same rut. I wrote several hundred words on Monday, but I'm trashing it and starting again. The words didn't dance - the music was playing, but the cymbals were crashing into it jarringly. Very frustrating. I'll have to try again today.
Also, I spent several hours photographing crystals on Wednesday and looking at the photos on my laptop yesterday, they're total crap. I've already deleted them and I'll revise my methodology and my lighting once again. They're Swarovski crystals. They should be shining and gleaming. They weren't doing that at all, so I need to work on that to see what lighting will best make that happen. I need to show the transparency of the color, but also the flash of the shaping and any surface coatings. Back to the drawing board once again.
So today is a day of new beginnings. At least my dinner recipe is tried and true - LOL. I hope you have a wonderful day and I'll be back tomorrow, hopefully with a day of accomplishment to look back on. Be safe, be kind, and Slava Ukraini. Peace!
