September 25, 2025: After teleworking, visiting my mother, and an evening at Tonden

:

🐚 No card reading today. Visiting my mother and a dinner to unwind the heart

I worked remotely today and wrapped up a little early to visit my mother.
After her surgery, my mother is in quite a lot of pain and cannot even sit up on her own.
She hasn't started eating yet, and it sounds like she has to endure for about two more days.

Seeing her like that made my heart ache, but
hearing her say, "I'm so happy you came,"
helped my heart unwind just a little.

After that, I dropped my daughter off at cram school, and
since I couldn't find the energy to cook dinner after getting home—
we went to "Tonden" for the first time in a while.

For some reason, I wanted something light today, so
I chose the grilled dried squid with a rice set and a seaweed salad.
The savory aroma of the squid and the oceanic memory of the seaweed
seemed to quietly heal my tired heart and body.

🌸 Flower of the day: Sea of seaweed

Meaning: Purification, kindness, deep memories

🎨 Color of the day: Sea breeze gray

Meaning: Tranquility, organizing emotions, inner calmness

There is no card reading today.
But the guidance is still reaching me.
It is in my mother's gaze,
in my daughter's growth,
and in the savory aroma of the squid.

🕊️ Closing words: Take a breath in the gentle night

The "light meal" I chose today
might have been an expression of a "quiet wish" deep in my heart.
May today—
bring gentle space and deep breaths to my heart.
And may my mother's post-surgical pain gradually subside,
bringing us closer to the day we can share a meal together again🌿✨
