Despite being pictured seated with chocolate cake and wine this king is the slimmest in the deck. He likes physical work and keeping fit in the process. This ensures he stays lean and sinewy enough to look good in his yellow leggings. The snoozing dog suggests this is a moment of pleasurable repose after a day of hard work.
I am reminded of when we bought the house, how hard we worked to make it liveable. Every day we had a challenge and most evenings an achievement to celebrate if not a mishap to commiserate. How satisfying it was.
This king is a timely reminder to keep on track with the four year plan and not idle away time and money in the shopping centre today.
The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears or the sea, Karen Blixen, 1885-1962.
That is a good quality to bring out about this king - he is a good steward and caretaker of what he has, whether it is his body or home.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I don't think he has any intention of eating that cake. To me he's posing a question 'do you want instant gratification or long term rewards?'
DeleteLike all Kings of Pentacles he appreciates the 'Good Life'
ReplyDeleteYes a bit like that 70s tv show with tom and Barbara :)
