Test the waters with a few low-risk steps. Pay attention to the signs and signals, for all is not what it seems. Skepticism is warranted today as you may receive some harsh feedback or sobering news. Consider where you are invested more in fantasy than what's actually happening. The truth may be tough to swallow, but it's better to know the facts. Practical doesn't have to mean boring; current circumstances require you to expand beyond what's comfortable. Build in a personal reward for tonight as an incentive for your sincere effort. Trees that can bend to the force of the storm don't break.
