Friday the 13th in Getting my feet wet. Jumping in

Covid-19. Schools have extended spring break, libraries are closed, my piano teacher is now doing lessons online, choir practice has been placed on hold for an undetermined amount of time, events including professional sports teams have been cancelled, the list goes on and on and on.... I think every company or restaurant I have ever done business with has sent me an email telling me how seriously they are taking this virus. The President has declared a national state of emergency. Grocery stores are out of items. Since Phil buys toilet paper in bulk, we have had a stock pile in the garage. Ever since I can remember, his bulk buying also includes dog food, trash bags, tissues, etc… Today I did my part in “stock piling”, I now have 3 half sheet (15x22) pictures drawn out ready to have paint applied.

The weather today is thunderstorms. Sort of appropriate as my inner landscape is stormy. I just want to yell out wash your hands, use common sense and Get A Grip! If you are sick or not feeling well, then Stay Home!

Onto brighter thoughts, Friday the 13th bring bad lunch is really a 14th century cover up. This day is a good luck. Friday is the day of the week attributed to Venus and 13 is her number (13 cycles of the moon in a lunar year and a woman cycles 13 times in a year). This was a day of celebration where people stayed home and made love. In 1487 feminine wisdom and energy was labeled witchcraft by Heinrich Kramer. Due to his hatred of powerful women leaders, he went forth and had healers burned death. So Friday the 13th is a spiritual day of enlightenment to be sacred.
