I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you've provided. I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

I had a wonderful Fb conversation with a beautiful Heathen lady from Alaska.  She’s asking me to send her an elm branch from my woodpile.  Earlier today I placed a pic on my Fb page advertising free fire wood.  I will gladly oblige her.

Just prior to grocery shopping, I noticed possible rain clouds coming in from the west.  My thoughts immediately went to the plywood I have down over Toby’s digging area.  I grabbed the closest spray paint I had to lay-down a bit of protect.  Okay, yeah, it’s ugly, but I will make it right later.

PM God/dess Meditation: Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, beloved son of Wotan and Frija.  Just as you restore Mittigart after Godotuom, restore us after we experience our own Godotuoms of life.  Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help is to avoid evil, and seek the good. Inspired by your example, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving his life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!
