Today I learned how Apple cider vinegar can be used as a home remedy for a few minor things. :D

Greetings, :hiya:
Today I learned that by visualizing myself as a stag and tuning into that energy my self-confidence increased by leaps and bounds (no pun intended). I gleaned this information from the Druid Animal Oracle Cards. :kernos:

Today I learned that even when people are on a completely different path from mine, as is Mr. Richard Dawkins, they can still have an entire well of wisdom and useful information.

Today I learned that our Ancestors never leave us. I was just going about my daily chores today when I heard my Grandad as clear as bell.
He said "Everything has its season Gal"
Just out the blue. God love ya Grandad.

Today I learned the beauty and comfort of using what I've learned through druidry to mourn someone's passing and celebrate their life.

Today I learned that one should keep track of time the night before one must be at work at 4 am. :idea:
Let Peace begin with me
Let this be the moment, now
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow:
To take each moment
And live each moment
In Peace eternally.

Let there be Peace on earth
And let it begin with me.

I learned (again, still, further) that duality is an important part of who I am, and should be harmonized rather than denied, suppressed, or otherwise stifled. :2dance:

Today I learned that an awful lot of incorrect information about me, my personal religious/spiritual choice, namely is passed from person to person. How odd? How strange? How immoral? How bloody annoying?

Today I learned that my aunt makes awesome plum jam and I should not be left alone with a jar and a loaf of fresh bread. *waddles off with a groan of pain, licking jam off chin*

Today I learned that an early morning reflection during a walk throws up many insights. As my druid Tarot says, "the way a situation has been handled all along will have a direct bearing on the outcome".
Strange old world.

I have learned that people can be in a situation and their perception of that situation is completely different to each others.
One side can push the other to breaking point and not bat an eye, but when the chips are down and they then realise that they have gone too far, they use every emotional blackmail trick in the book. Again blind to the fact that one party said goodbye months ago and that party has worked through the pain, grief and disapointment, alone of course.
So if they appear cold and uncaring when the time for the separtion has arrived, it is because they are all cried out, there is nothing left to say other than, I wish you well, peace and blessings. Goodbye.x

Today I learned about why balance is needed, as I did in the skeptic thread I looked through one eye while keeping the other closed. ( Not looking at the point of physical reality while deeply focusing into the mental reality). But I did learn from it, both is needed not just one side of it.

(yesterday already)

I learnt that sometimes, being bold & asking can get you something. It's not like I am one for haggling, fair prices for fair service :-)

but yesterday I went to a print shop for a gift and found a lovely 1800s color print of hazel, no price tag. I asked jokingliy if it was free and she said yes, since there was no price. Got it free with one that I paid for.
bright blessed days, dark sacred nights
