Last evening the 21st of December. I went to a local yule celebration. To welcome longer days. It was very nice together with like minded people.
There was simple service, food and conversation.
I took couple of photos of the place, where we meant. It's not safe for me to share the photos of who was there. I believe they was 15 of us.
Oh, I grab Liz and took her with me.
This is my two favorite card I got this year.
This morning I stop in pick up my stickers, which I'm not sure if I will do them again next year. Kinda of on the costly side. If I do. I will do a lot less of them.
Then up to the dentist. Had my teeth clean and no cavities. It's been a long time since I had a cavity. After the dentist, I went thrift store and got some rubber stands. A great place to get rubber stamps. I will add them to my granddaughter art bag. After that I went into Super one, and got my son and wives a little something. For my sons I got them each role of duct tape. And for the one wife I got some hand cream, and same for Sawyer ex wife. I have trouble of how to put her in my blogs, when it necessary. Her and my son isn't married. I understand that. She still two of my granddaughters mother. Then I stop Lolita and got gift I had her wrapped. She gave me an calendar, that she got free. Murphy likes the game calendar. It's of Norman Rockwell.
Wrap up a few gifts.
I been thinking what five and half things I want to accomplish in the year of 2026. Or take got stab at them. Let start with the half.
½. Finish up the area in the basement I been working on. I might even get done before the end of the year.
Seriously work on the quilt I been working on for a very long time.
Try to loose between 15 and 20 pounds.
Finish up my writing prompts
Work on my art prompts.
Clean and get rid of things in the shed and under the stair well.
Went over to chat gpt and had them match up the tarot cards that would match today's post.
1. The Sun
Why
it fits:
This
card directly mirrors the heart of your post: the Yule celebration on
December 21st and the welcoming back of longer days. The Sun is about
warmth, community, simple joy, and shared light—exactly what you
describe in the gathering, the food, and the sense of being with
like-minded people.
Theme
echoed:
Renewal,
returning light, gentle optimism, and being present in a moment that
doesn’t need to be dramatic to be meaningful.
2. Three of Cups
Why
it fits:
This
card reflects the gathering itself—the shared meal, conversation,
and quiet companionship. It’s not about spectacle, but about
showing up and being together. Even your care around privacy and
respect for others’ presence aligns with the emotional maturity of
this card.
Theme
echoed:
Community,
friendship, chosen family, and celebrating life in modest, sincere
ways.
3. Six of Pentacles
Why
it fits:
Your
day after Yule is full of small acts of giving and balancing: gifts
for your sons, hand cream for the women in their lives, stamps for
your granddaughter, thoughtful acknowledgment of family structures
that don’t fit neat labels. This card speaks to generosity,
fairness, and care given without keeping score.
Theme
echoed:
Reciprocity,
quiet generosity, and maintaining balance in family relationships.
4. Page of Pentacles
Why
it fits:
This
card beautifully matches the practical, hopeful tone of your plans
for 2026. The Page of Pentacles is about starting (or returning to)
long-term projects with patience: the quilt, writing prompts, art
prompts, organizing spaces, tending health. It’s not about
perfection—just steady effort.
Theme
echoed:
Learning,
persistence, small steps toward meaningful goals, and curiosity about
what can grow with care.
5. The Hermit
Why
it fits:
While
the post begins in community, it ends in reflection. Thinking about
the year ahead, naming what you want to accomplish, and acknowledging
uncertainty (like the stickers) all point to The Hermit’s wisdom.
This isn’t isolation—it’s intentional pause and honest
self-assessment.
Theme
echoed:
Reflection,
inner guidance, and choosing what truly matters as the year turns.
Hooray for no cavities, that's always a good thing.
