Peaceful Park Context
Wow! We’re on day 245! Every day I write, I’m amazed that I’m still writing. At this point, my husband and I are still on vacation – and loving it. Even though our holiday has returned to the house and its environs, the sun is out, and we take a moment to enjoy it by grabbing the picnic blanket, lunch and the Sony portable Bluetooth speakers to listen to an audiobook. What can I say being out in nature apricating (Day 101)? Apart from that, it was terrific? You don’t realise how peaceful parks can be when you’re vacationing and everyone else is at work!
The peaceful park is the best way to describe where we were. It was all about taking time out to smell the roses and apricate while enjoying each other’s company.
The rest of the day was quite dull if my memory served me correctly. Perhaps something will evolve in the cards.

Carryover Cards
No cards carried over from yesterday.
Cross
A Change in the Distant Past, probably the acknowledgement that I’m not getting any younger, has prompted a Rebirth Now with great Intensity being an influence.
In the process, we sought the opportunity in the Recent Past for Adventure. Thus, creating The Outsider Goal. Within the day’s context, it is us taking a moment to do something we’ve talked about but never found time to do; it was time to change it 😉. And the peaceful park was the perfect place.
Breakthrough is Future Energy. Perhaps, taking the time out to enjoy the moment will inspire us to take the opportunity more often – I certainly hope so.
Base
Meanwhile, The Burden played with my Feelings. The Burden I’m talking about is the bathroom renovations committed to yesterday (Day 244) and the potential upcoming cost; it’s intermittently weighing on my mind.
Others’ Views is that of The Creator; his ability is to use his confidence in his experience to make a peaceful park rejuvenation work.
I hope that the Understanding card in the Hopes & Fears position is about learning how much we needed to simply take an opportunity to “stop and smell the roses”, especially since we had the time to do it. My fear is I will get so busy with my life that this moment becomes rare and precious, rather something regular.
Finally, the Outcome is Beyond Illusion, and like the Breakthrough, the card is positive concerning repeating this activity in a peaceful park.
