The Number Ten card is all about second chances. Ten showed up in the yard of the Grey House one day outta nowhere, lost, skinny, and with the number 10 spray painted on either side of his body. Nobody was sure where he’d come from or if he’d stay, so they just called him ol’ Ten and set out a bowl of food. By the time the spray paint washed off he was a bonafide member of the family, though folks did sometimes ask who in the heck names their dog Number Ten instead of something cute like Fluffy or Tater Tot, but Ten didn’t seem to mind.
So the question here is, is there something in your life that you’d like to give another try? Some long shot out-on-a-limb thing that’s so crazy you gave up on it once, but now you wonder if it might still make it. Or, what is it inside that stray dog heart of yours that feels so lost and forsaken it doesn’t believe it will ever find another home?
Ol’ Ten doesn’t think hope is lost, nor that anything is ever too far gone to find its proper home. Ten says follow your nose, follow your belly, follow your heart, and stay the course. Because sometimes we count our blessings, and sometimes we bless our second chances.
