You are The Hermit

Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.

The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.

The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

Every morning Hubby and I have coffee outside on the patio and watch the birds at the birdfeeders.  Hummingbirds and finches, mostly.  Our cats sometimes get one, sometimes we have to put the cats in the house because the birds won't come to the feeders if the cats are lounging beneath them.

Anyway, this morning cats are lounging around, but not bothering the birds, and the birds are busy with their morning seeds.  We get 50 to 100 busy birds every morning.  They wait in the trees and take turns at the feeder.  Cheep cheep cheep all the time.  This is a wonderful ritual for us.

So as I take a sip of coffee,a falcon comes swooping over the roof and dives at the feeder.  He is absolutely silent.

The birds explode with a burst of feathers, zooming off in all directions AND all 6 cats come streaking into the house!  in 2 seconds it is eerily quiet.  We keep a lookout, and the falcon comes gliding back for a second pass, but there is nothing there.  He swoops up and away.  We wait but not a single cat comes back outside (the door is open) nor do any of the birds come back to the feeder.  About 10 minutes later a hummingbird comes and has some sugar.  I guess Falcons don't eat hummingbirds.

I love you all!  Have a great weekend!

So, Bold I have read and italics I started and didn't finish (for one reason or another)
I am ashamed it didn't finish the two Austen books in italics, but I read Vanity fair and Pride and Prejudice more than once!

This link is making the rounds at work.  I had to share.  Technology is SO cool...it made hubby and I say at the same time, "OMG!  It is Star Trek: TNG!"

So in the interest of Family Harmony and Peace, it is with great pleasure that I post a drawing from my other daughter...of whom I am equally proud.  This child is three years younger (is 12) and also enjoys the Manga Universe. 



And my son, who is NOT jealous,  but may feel slighted if his art is not mentioned as well, LOL

You're The Catcher in the Rye!

by J.D. Salinger

You are surrounded by phonies, and boy are you sick of them! In an
ongoing struggle to search for a land without phonies, you end up running away from
everything, from school to consequences. In this process, you reveal that many people
in your life have suffered torments and all you really want to do is catch them as
they fall. Perhaps using a baseball mitt. Your biggest fans are infamous
psychotics.

Your Score: Orpheus

0% Extroversion, 80% Intuition, 72% Emotiveness, 52% Perceptiveness

You are an artist, an aesthete, a sensitive, and someone who has never really let go of that childlike innocence. To you, all of life has a sense of wonder in it, and the story of Orpheus was written about someone just like you.

When the Argo passed the island of the Sirens, Orpheus played a song more beautiful than the Sirens to prevent the crew from becoming enticed. When his wife died, he ventured into the underworld to charm Hades but, in his naivete, he looked back becoming trapped there.

You can capture your unique world view and relate it to others with the skill of a master storyteller. Your sensitivity and creativity make you a treasure to the human race, but your thin-skinned nature and innocence can cause you a lot of disenchantment and pain. What's doubly unfortunate is that, if you try to lose those traits, you never will, and everyone will be able to tell that you're putting up an artificial shell to prevent yourself from being hurt.
