Good AM work; workload adequate

Good @ work lunch; finished Goddess Holle by GardenStone…VERY enlightening!

Good PM work; I was asked to return to hard metals.  Production Super told me my last order of titanium plates were “BEAUTIFUL!”  I’ve been rewarded with 9 more titanium plates.  I thanked my Production Super for his trust.  He, in turn, thanked me for my efforts.  We have a real mutual admiration society happening between us; different from what I wrongly perceived from last Friday.

*I started mentioning to a couple of people about my interview with Spirit.  We’ll see how long it takes to make it to management.

Let springtime be in our steps, love in our hearts and a song on our lips. Change us to the core! Fill us with optimism and dreams for the future. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, OSTARA, as we honor the Ostara that resides in us all!

PM God/dess Meditation:  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!
