Tonight's full moon is the mourning moon. Traditional Celtic ways - this was their end of year. The snow moon. A time for new beginnings. A time to lay the past to rest and just look to the future. That is what I did today. I spent the day letting go of any negative energies, hurts, and just memories that I had been holding onto for the last couple/ few months. I will not go there again. "Don't look back because that is not where you are going." I tuned up my candles, opened the window - yes it was very cold, and I just did a whole lot of nothing today. Retrospective.
There are things that I still need to work on. I am only human and I will falter, of that I am sure. We all do. None of us are perfect and we should have sympathy and even empathy for those around us. I try to live my life with the old saying "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I truly do. I have an open mind and an open heart. It gets beat down quite a bit and I struggle sometimes to stay positive and on track. I even lose it once in a while. Those are the times I go into myself for healing. I lock the world out and just zen. It is what I have to do.
I wrote just a tad today. I studied tarot a tad today. I studied herbals a tad today. Made a few phone calls and sent a few emails... For the most part I sat and watched my candles and just released myself from everything. Am I refreshed? Not quite sure yet. :) Guess I will know when I wake up tomorrow.
Here's hoping that all of you have a fabulous new beginning ;)
Count your blessings and ask for those you love to get what they need. ;)
Catch you on the flip side.
