Gratitude

A few tears, today. Not all tears are from anger, or sadness...any over-load can do it. Sometimes it's hard to know exactly what's triggered them.

Today, I definitely think it was... Gratitude. Family and friends have again proven willing to help me out with my finances.

But to get that help...I had to have the courage to ask.

I had to think myself worth some aid.

I'm Grateful that I'm finally learning to accept help...and to even, once in a while, ask for it.

Meanwhile, I need to continue to help myself get to a better place (especially financially) by getting done what needs to get done. Even when I need to show some courage by facing certain anxieties.

Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Writer Michael Tortorello has complained about the "national delight deficit." My friend Lanny bemoans the public's shrinking attention span for stories about joyful events and satisfying breakthroughs. I myself have marveled at the pathological tendency of many educated people to equate cynicism with intelligence. It's in the context of this stupefying collective addiction to dank moods that I give you your assignment, Scorpio: You, more than any other sign of the zodiac, are now primed to harvest an abundance of pleasure, mirth, and fun. Please don't keep it all to yourself; try to infect everyone you meet.

You are a POSEUR BADASS!

Oh, yes, you're terribly badass, aren't you,
sweetheart? Of COURSE you are! Please. The key
word in badass is "bad", honey. Isn't
there a White Mage Picnic you should be
attending?

Are you fears serving you by warning you about dangerous places, things, or people? Or do your fears prevent you from dancing your dance, living your life, creating with Creation?

Oh. My. God.
