Suspicious Mind Context
The following notation exists in my notebook, “Crystal Shop Exciting”. You would think I’d remember what the excitement was about; but, I do not. The second notation I have is regarding my mother, suspicious minds and an email she received from Webjet. Yes, if you’ve been reading my posts, you’ll know the sinking feeling I had when I heard the company’s name. Refer to Day 098 or Day 164.
The email from the airline via Webjet said my mum needed to use her flight credits by February 2022. That was, booked and taken. My mother was ropeable3. You see, her suspicious mind was under the impression that they (“they”, being Webjet or the airline) were out to get more money out of her.
Because there have been four reschedules over the past two years, from COVID-19, there were times when she’s paid more. With the reschedules, suspicion can mount if you’re handing over money each time. Mind you; they claim there are no additional fees. However, the increments and their impact were minor.
When it came time to rebook the flight, a final time to Brisbane and return, enough credit was to cover the trip without paying more.
The next grumble about “them”, and this time I’m not so sure it was entirely my mother’s suspicious mind. The airlines pushing for the credits’ consumption before Easter smells of business sense. Especially since it looks like Easter 2022 might have all Australian borders open to each other. It’s also an excellent time for folks who haven’t seen their family in a while to catch up. So, it’s not just my mother’s suspicious mind at work on this one.

Carryover Cards
No cards carried over from yesterday.
Cross
A New Vision in the Distant Past creates a Transformation today. Transformation is possible because Participation is its influence. The Goal of Innocence accepts what has gone before and arrives at a place with new eyes4.
The Rebirth is (Webjet sending with rebooking terms) in the Recent Past.
Nonetheless, Future Energy has Abundance – I was able to help my mother see she had enough money, and it wasn’t much more than she originally paid.
Base
Unlike Day 098, my Feelings involved respect and unity of direction, much like The Lovers card. Note, rebooking with Webjet was a breeze today, it was a marked improvement from previous experience.
Others’ Views of me are that I utilised my previous experience to manage and pursue the best course of action, much like The Creator.
Conversely, Hopes & Fears reflect a different story. It’s one where I hope I have performed enough Comparisons to get the best value for my mother. Alas, like anytime you’re bargain shopping, you fear that you’ll walk around the corner and there will be a better price. Sigh.
Finally, everything goes back to normal or its Ordinariness as the Outcome. Suspicious minds put to bed – for the time being, anyway.
