016/365 (Getting an Affirmation)
Well, they say the Universe really operates on its own timeframe albeit with clarity and profound conviction it will certainly answer you. Tonight, it was kewl to partake in a small dinner of miso soup and jasmine green tea only to be rewarded in the end with an affirmation on many levels. It’s funny how these things happen.
Dinner started off with no big fanfare but shortly into the moment we found ourselves heartedly entertained by the Chinese Zodiac rundown under our glass tabletop. So I am a dog…loyal, hardworking, generous…and apparently stubborn. Gee, “H” I guess SHRH is like me and vice versa. :P My dinner date is a tiger. Supposedly, our two zodi-animals will be good companions. And for the most part, we’d say that to be a true story. Sadly, the Boar (more commonly known as Pig) peeps have it the worst. Noble and chivalrous and easy friend makers, the zodi-Boars/Pigs are prone to marital strife. Hey don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just reporting as it was read and subsequently challenged. And it was also emphasized that those peeps are to stay clear of their own and seek other zodi-animals for compatibility. Of course, that bit gave us plenty of fodder for a few moments, to the point of asking our waitress who matter-of-factly responded with this simple and yet ironic perspective: “Oh quite simple…one pig okay, but two or more pigs make mess like sty, so pig better off with other companion.” Hmmm, so she says but it was the only Zodiac sign that specifically pointed out to stay away from its own and guess what…our waitress is a Boar/Pig peep. We guessed her to be our expert witness. Hahaha, but it does have a ring of plausibility to it all when you really think about it.
So the affirmation…moving on, we chatted about this and that. Then we came upon the subject of my going to Peru in the spring. How sillery of me to keep postponing that any longer. No mas I tellya…I’m now going. Spent the better part of our dinner calculating costs, etc., and voila, I’ll have enough money saved to go next year. And it’s not going to cost me an arm, leg, or the black-marketing of my kidney (I keed about that last thought). And now, the fortune cookie message: “You will have a pleasant trip.” True story.
Fun Fact Du Jour: If I’m going to Peru next year, I better get me arse in gear for realz. My passport is now expired (checked tonight). I guess I’ll be taking care of that next week. :P ‘Cause an expired passport would not make for a pleasant trip, right? ;) Oh and for this pic, I used a filter to capture this "still life" moment--true and all good regardless. Peas and llamas, Flickr peeps.
