“Deal of the Week” is an updated take on the horoscope column. One card, bad advice, worse poetry, every Monday.

Take a rest, take it easy, and take a look over your shoulder to see all that you have built behind you. Whether it’s clear or not, those who love you value all you have accomplished. You are followed by the craters of your steps, deep wells, some may call them potholes but you know better. You have stepped on each corner and curb, met its edges and, though it may have taken a lifetime, found your way home. The battle is won and you have found a safe place for resting between the rivers. Fill your wells; trust that none will disturb them.
