An Easier Route?

By the end of yesterday, my migraine was still with me and I went to bed not long after my boyfriend had left, hoping that a night's sleep would sort it out. I didn't end up having my proposed nap in the afternoon and it had just got worse, so I really needed it by then.

Even though I still have a faint pain in my eyes and on the top of my head, I am hoping that today's cards take me from the murky and disturbed waters of my migraine to the clear-headed space of the Ace of Swords, since the ferryman from the 6 of Swords escorts us to a more peaceful place than we have recently been used to. On a general level, this may be due to some kind of new understanding or from a conversation with another. As well as some final healing from my headache, I hope to find myself feeling calmer than I have been in some time.

As I slip into the afternoon, my head definitely feels better. I have not been able to get any new work down this morning, due to a creative block, but hope to get something done this afternoon, before I go to my boyfriends. Starting each new section of my portfolio project is often the hardest part, but I am hoping that the Ace of Swords will represent new ideas and inspiration.

Even though I think that the basis of today's reading is linked to my overcoming the migraine, it also mirrors a call that my parents received yesterday afternoon (I often see the ace as a form of communication). As I mentioned recently, we lost the dream home that we were hoping to move into for the second time a month or so ago and were told that the owners were going with another offer. It was hardly their fault, since our buyer pulled out. Well, the owner called us yesterday to say that he hoped there was no hard feelings between us and that his house is still on the market. We have not sold ours yet, but I wonder if these cards provide an easier route towards trying to buy his for a third time.
