I totally concur with Oscar's first two sentences and wish that the final sentence, i.e., his prediction for the coming week, becomes my reality. Fingers crossed, indeed.
My Cancerian Horoscope

Oscar Cainer:
Even if you can't exactly put your finger on when the feelings started, recent weeks have brought a sensation to your emotional life that is not straightforward. And, if you're hoping for a bit more 'normality', that's not on the cosmos's itinerary this week. Something much better is coming your way. As long as you can be genuinely open-minded; and stay relaxed and open to new developments, your new version of 'normal' will leave you happier than you've been in quite some time.

My late Great Aunt ...
The Brisbane Courier
Later to become known as:
The Brisbane Courier Mail (
daily newspaper )
Dated: Tuesday, 01 February, 1910
Located on Page 4.

Above is the front page of The Brisbane Courier newspaper from 01 / 02 / 1910.

Tonight is an auspicious occasion.
Firstly, tonight's dinner is Camel ....
Whilst the chick pea broth tasted just fine, the camel meat
itself was tough .... even after slow-cooking for 4 hours.
Not something I'd bother trying again.
Below is a CROTON which I bought for my long-time friend, Leanne.
She has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.
Crotons are her favourite plant and I bought this to nurture
as she endures chemo.
I transplanted it into a larger pot than the one it was in from the garden centre.
Already it seems to be flourishing.
--------------------------
Below are a couple of other photos of my "jungle" garden.
The high humidity here makes everything explode into growth.
And I even grew a couple of cherry tomatoes .... I'm a farmer at heart.

Wholeness Blessing - We Are Not Broken
We walk in troubled times,
But let us not be troubled souls.
We stand in financial challenge,
But let us not see our lives only in crisis.
But let us not see our lives only in crisis.
We have suffered loss, pain, and indignities.
But we have survived, and we will survive.
We have been hurt and we may be broke,
But we are not broken.
But we are not broken.
Amen.
- Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway
