SETBACK
Just as the earth suffers devastation and disaster, your most beautiful, prosperous, solidly organized projects and plans – on which you depend and bank – encounter setback: a drying up of resources (drought), a sudden ruination (hurricane, forest fire, volcanic eruption), a block (wall), or a parting of ways (abandoned village).
oh for pete’s sake. i hope it’s referring to the resources i already know about. because i don’t have any other resources to dry up. i’m an empty shell. the IRS left me FOUR FUCKING DOLLARS AND SIXTY-ONE CENTS out of my paycheck today. dear internet friends, that is not enough to live on, is it?
Defeat and difficulty are regenerative, as are the earth’s natural disasters. The earth’s healthy new seeds symbolize this new life. For every storm, there is a rainbow. Take one step back – a strategic retreat – to go two steps forward through the newly open door of opportunity. As it is said, make lemonade out of lemons.
as long as there is a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow.
let’s examine all the new possibilities that will come with my being poor. hmm…. ok. i admit it. i’m not coming up with much. but i’m not exactly ready to look at the silver lining yet. fucking IRS. give me a couple of days. i was getting better over the weekend, until i saw how much they left me. s’ok. i’m going to get that levy released before the next paycheck.
how fun is it that i just air my dirty financial laundry out in public like this? pretty fun, huh? maybe after all this financial stuff is settled, i’ll discuss my intimacy issues.
