It's hot outside already, though it doesn't register any great number yet. The desert sun seems to have an omnipotence about it, even in October. And I'm lazy this morning. I don't feel like hauling computer, camera, cards, etc., out to the front porch to tape a reading. And I want to finish my coffee in the relative cool cave of my house.
So here we are.
Today we look at the cards through the written word, which is actually more efficient and precise.

- Wheel of Fortune...
There's always that one person, sometimes that one irritating person, who just seems to ride the waves of life effortlessly, in a golden haze of success, without even trying.
The thing is, when this person does fall off the Wheel (and eventually they will), it hits them harder than the average person, the average Joe who knows what it's like to struggle, because they have never had to.
And the odd thing about this is that how they handle a glitch in their seemingly perfect blessed life will show you unabashedly, candidly, just what kind of person they REALLY are. This is where revelations are born, this is where questions get answered and questions get birthed, this is where you get to acknowledge that you honestly and thoroughly know someone, or else you find yourself suddenly facing a stranger.
For those who handle real life glitches and dilemmas with grace, intelligence, and maturity, good for them. They'll find their way back up on that Wheel, and soon, because they actually belong there. It's their destiny,
But for those who flounder, whine, blame, make excuses, wallow in pity and anger, fall apart at the the first touch of Real Life... they will never ride that Wheel again, it's not theirs to mount.
