week eighty one >> "Kranky"

"kranky"

today Mercury goes direct from what has been one heck-the-halls of a retrograde.  I sense there will be quite a transition period before we feel quite on course again, and what better (and more intense) time than these holidaze and darkening winter nights. as these residuals linger, un-thru the end of the year I'm feeling, let us continue to recognize what the upheavals offer us in terms of opportunities to grow, or even just to laugh.  Jennifer writes this in reflection of these Kranky residuals:


Last words on Kranky, for now:

Though I do not have a teenager in the house quite yet, I've lately been on the receiving end of some pretty Kranky behavior from my daughter.  Oh my, the looks how they're glaring, and the tone of voice, how it's searing.  I'm quite sure there are moments when my actions, requests, or refusals start the ball rolling for these nasty spells; and I'm released from responsibility by the small degree of understanding of child development I am thankful to hold.  And then, there is laughter and humor... And while these gifts don't always transcend Kranky for two in the moment, I can often move through the struggle with these helpful guides myself.  I am grateful for rosy cheeks and acts of kindness between siblings and help with chores and excitement for the season.  Cheers to the moon!
