Wed 1/21 COTD 4 of wands. Historically it symbolized unexpected good fortune and a happy homecoming. A happy celebration sounds good!
It's a great day for an impromptu party, barbecue, lunch, or dinner gathering.
Its also time to clear the clutter, clean, and restock the pantry.

MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota
