Daily Horoscope for Aries Summary

Happy Birthday Valerie..!!!
I've tried a dozen times or more to write the daily summary but each time it has been an epic failure... I don't want to write all hearts and sappy... Life isn't alway easy or peachy... Especially being in your early 20's and havin' 4 hungry kids lookin' up at you... We didn't have any money, but we were never poor... We found a way and we got by.

Modern life can wear you down... It did for Valerie and me too... For years, I worked days, Valerie worked nights... We'd only see each other in occasional rumbles & tumbles in the night... (wink)... hehe... Our lives took us onto very different paths and we eventually we separated and got divorced... Sometimes relationships end, but the love beneath it never fades... In fact, it often intensifies... The part that used to really weird other people out, was that Valerie and I remained best friends... The love we had for each other never ended, it was just the circumstances we had to deal with to make it through... It took 45 seconds to drive from my house to hers.

Don't get me wrong, we were definitely not 'do-ggoders'... We were just young kids in 'survival mode' tryin' to make it through the storm... Valerie could turn a few hot-dogs and a bunch of potatoes (ba-day-das) into a feast... She was magic in that way... And we'd feed an army of kids almost every night too.

Years passed... I met Marian who is a total spazmatic... hehe... (in the best possible way) Valerie once whispered/told me, she's the right one for you... Val and Marian were good friends... They'd go to church together... Valerie became the 'Mom' to the neighborhood... Sheeska, I'd go over there in the morning and every square inch of the living room floor was occupied with kids... They didn't feel right callin' us 'Mom and Dad' so they labeled us Ma-Dowd and Pa-Dowd...

It's hard to write when the screen is blurred from the tears streamin' from your eyes... Of all the guys... Valerie chose me... As much as I miss her, I also know we can be that same force or inspiration she was for others... Amazing how those kids that used to sleep on our floor have grown into ones that make the difference in the lives of others too...Every now and then ya see 'em on the news and think 'that was the kid that spilled the jelly all over the floor'... hehe... ' So Proud... I am sure Valerie is lookin' down and cheerin' for us.

Val had a bump/lump in her arm-pit that she ignored... By the time she had it checked out, it was stage 4 cancer... I'd take her to her chemo treatments and we'd talk for hours... (It's a Dowd thing)... hehe... Strange that I now have the same 'bump/lump' too... But the doctors are keepin' a real close eye on it... I wish she would have had that checked sooner.

Don't expect any of this to make sense... "The Blues ain't nuthin' but a good man feelin' sad" and we all have our times...

That's it for now... I'll talk to you guys later...

Keep the Faith... Better Days and Higher Love are comin' soon...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
The cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts...
The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins...
The moon is a great nerve center from which we quiver forever...
Who knows the power that Saturn has over us, or Venus? But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time...
~ D.H. Lawrence

Daily Tao

Those that attained oneness since ancient times:
The sky attained oneness and thus clarity
The earth attained oneness and thus tranquility
The gods attained oneness and thus divinity
The valley attained oneness and thus abundance
The myriad things attained oneness and thus life
The rulers attained oneness and became the standard for the world
These all emerged from oneness

The sky, lacking clarity, would break apart
The earth, lacking tranquility, would erupt
The gods, lacking divinity, would vanish
The valley, lacking abundance, would wither
Myriad things, lacking life, would be extinct
The rulers, lacking standard, would be toppled

Therefore, the honored uses the lowly as basis
The higher uses the lower as foundation
Thus the rulers call themselves alone, bereft, and unworthy
Is this not using the lowly as basis? Is it not so?
Therefore, the ultimate honor is no honor

Do not wish to be shiny like jade
Be dull like rocks
