Toby and I out for a late morning, totally misbehaved, walk.  He absolutely ignored voice commands.  I don’t care the situation; he HAS to respond.  The first time pissed me off badly enough, but the second time…ARGH!  I expressed my frustration, then took him home, and finished the 30min walk on my own.  To think, the J’sW household just commented about how disciplined Toby was…sad.
*cloudy, cool, sizeable north wind.

​God/dess Meditation: (alternate Manostag) Nirdu, brother-husband, to Nirda, parents of the Wanâ; Ing-Frô and the Frouwa, beloved god of harbors and seas close to land; help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to our doors daily from the wonderful Universe in which we live. Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!
