Turning into a hermit

Photobucket
Lately I have gotten the Hermit card constantly. Like for weeks. I thought change might finally be coming for me but I seriously doubt it now. I am trying to make peace with what is but it is tough. It is time to withdraw and think.

Deck Chair

We have had a brutal Nova Scotia winter, followed by a BC winter with tons of rain and darkness. Even the most optimistic person would struggle through the weather we have been getting. I've been holding on to the hope that we will get out of here in the next year or so but there is no energy in a lie.

So I give up. I put up my hands to the universe and let go. At least the pain is not as torturous as it was during the winter. I just wish it would warm up. I have lived without the sun before but the damp cold is just cruel.

I will spend this time of isolation in contemplation. Figure out what the heck am I going to accomplish all by myself in the dark. When the weather is like this, staying inside alone is easy. Who wants to go outside here anyway?

Travel by the light of your inner lantern, o hermit.

What other cards are you getting with the hermit. I try and I use the word “try” look at the entire picture but in honesty I don't always succeed.
At time we all need to be hermits.
Anyhow I give you my opinion the weather gone “crazy”

Coffee is on.

The weather here is not nice either and our view of good weather has changed to the point that a day where it's not raining but cloudy and 55 is nice. :( Do you ever have time to go to a sunny place in the Winter for a week or so? I know it is expensive but might be worth it. I haven't gone in several years but am hoping to go somewhere this next winter maybe a week.
