Otter: Freud Stole The Monthly Reading

Image via Wikipedia

Normally I would have posted my monthly ‘Just For Fun’ card reading by now.  This month is the month of the Otter.  However, after the sixth attempt at trying to get it to publish, only to have the little cretin switch entirely to italics, the paragraphs to rearrange themselves and the picture move unchangeably to the bottom, I have decided Otter is being to playful with his silvery moonlight and I am therefore grounding him.  Perhaps next year the little beast will have had himself fitted for a glass bellybutton so he can see his way clear to stop playing around so much and get some work done. 

The basic drift of this month’s reading is to avoid extremes, follow your own light and flow with destiny’s changes, be loving, giving, caring and listen very strongly to your instincts.  I will still include the famous quotes I had chosen for this month’s card reading at the bottom.

Perhaps I should blame it all on Sigmund Freud’s theory about Id, Ego and Super-ego, or Alter Ego.  Actually I forget what he said about the ego and alter ego, but when I was writing about listening to your instincts, I recalled Freud referring to the id as ‘Instinctual Desires’.  Perhaps from here on out I should refer to Otter as Freud.

I can assure you Otter Freud will not be getting any of my Starbucks Mocha Frapaccino Ice Cream with marshmallow cream topping.  I will stay steadfast and go unflinching when he tries to charm me with his cute little whiskered face, and batting those sweet eyes at me will not work either.

Following are the quotes I intended to include in this month’s card reading.

          “Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth,
           for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire:
           it is the time for home.”  Edith Sitwell.

          “Take away love and our earth is a tombe.”  Robert Browning.  Tombe  with an ‘e’ is the way I found it.

          “The destiny of man is in his own soul.”  Herodotus.
