How Blatant Does it Need to be?

January 24, 2015 By Gail Leave a Comment

I admit to being woo woo inclined. I believe Mercury in retrograde equates to unplanned surprises, and often not the good kind. Those in the know say this planetary mash-up will last until mid-February. Be warned, and deal with it proactively instead of reactively if possible.

My husband does the biggest and bestest eye rolls when I mention this stuff. We’ll be eating dinner and I slip it in like a steaming side of Lima beans…that, by the way, neither of us cares for.

Me: “Did you say you can’t get your Mac to produce a photo DVD?”

Him: “Yeah, and it makes no sense. It has been a breeze before.”

Me, coughing into napkin: “Mercury in retrograde.”

Him: “What?”

Me: “So sorry my car’s fuel pump went out unexpectedly. More bills to pay…”

Him: “Again, it makes no sense. You just had your car in for maintenance.”

Me, coughing into napkin: “Mercury in retrograde.”

Him: “Do you need a drink of water?”

Me: “Um, have I told you about Elsa’s (http://www.elsaelsa.com) message on Mercury in retrograde right now?  Technology, relationships, appliances, all kinds of stuff goes wonky.  It’s been observed for centuries. ”

Him: “Please! Just…don’t. Your weird sources and thoughts are too… far out and wacky… for my tastes. I’m a man of science!”

Just then he knocks a full glass of tea on his lap.  I smile and look at the ceiling.

Beliefs are personal, powerful, and purposeful. And, they are the best part of my day.  Watch yourselves out there for the next few weeks!  And remember, you get to choose how you react!

A Message From Gail

Through my blog and website, I hope to share beauty, laughter, inspiration, aging & midlife lessons and advice on dealing with menopause. I will also devote time to integrative health and healing tips and news. I want feedback and questions because, while we may be sharing the journey, every woman has her own experience and her own story.
