Abuse It and Lose It

From the Rosetta Tarot, the Nine of Disks; from the Day of the Dead Lenormand, Mice:

Caretaking is the utmost spiritual and physical responsibility of our time, and perhaps that stewardship is finally our place in the web of life, our work, the solution to the mystery that we are. 

― Linda Hogan

The Nine of Disks represents 'Gain,' whether that be our health, well-being or financial status. It's a pleasant, comfortable place to be in, but it's easy to become complacent and lose our appreciation for what we have. The Mice suggests loss - a warning that everything is subject to decline and change. What we have - our bodies, homes and material possessions (even our Earth) - all require good stewardship, a willingness to take responsibility for the care and condition of these things.
