Though I don't think this request is weird. But I like weird, so who am I to judge that? And you've been super busy lately, so I'm not surprised you're feeling stretched thin.
Anyway, for you I drew card 22, Stargazer Lilies, in the Shine aspect, Beauty.
Those stargazer lilies really are beautiful! If I was doing this a little later in the year, I'd have ignored my plan to take pictures with roses and taken a picture with an actual stargazer lily, but instead I picked a very tall, thin rose plant, tall and thin because a bird dropped a mulberry seed in the middle of it and it sprouted and grew. The tree trunk is now 6" thick. I keep being amazed that the rose is still alive and blooming!
Re-reading your question and looking at this card, I am reminded of a dream I had in College, where I dreamed I was in the middle of the ocean, without any boat or nearby support, and I was focused on desperately trying to keep the watch on my wrist out of the water. But the feeling I had on waking wasn't that I had had a nightmare, which was probably because of the sound track, which was Max Davis' You've Got to Stop and Smell the Roses. I woke up and laughed. It was clear to me that I was letting myself get over-stressed and worrying about at least some of the wrong things. I didn't even like that watch!
This card says take the time to appreciate all the beauty and wonder in your life. It's such a simple answer, it's easy to discount it, but if you feel off balance, root yourself in the beauty and breathe.
I do wish I could send an "image" of the smell of our roses right now, so you could literally smell my roses. It's one of the best things about June, living here. But at least I can send pictures.

I'm OK with weird too!
