Courage is definitely an attitude of boldness, however, not the absence of fear. Courage is the carrying-on in spite of your fears. It is courage that allows us to live life in such a manner that we can be proud. Courage comes to those who have faced down their fears, and have overcome them (Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson).

A twelfth one I sing, when I see through the brush
The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

I received a Holiday card from Toby’s former guardians after I sent them on of me and the fur-kids. I LOVED their comment:
“Great to hear from you, Socks, Toby and Essie. Meeting you was the best day in Toby’s life. We are so pleased…keep in touch”. Will do!

Toby and I out for a fairly active 30 min walk.
*Going by these town homes a familiar neighbor comes out to chat with a barking dog at, who I THOUGHT to be at the end of its tether. As I approached the neighbor, the dog DID reach the end of its tether and attacked Toby, who thankfully, was on HIS tether, too. Toby held his own! The lady pulled off her dog as I pulled Toby way. At the same time, her young child opened the door to come see Toby and innocently released a second dog. The lady kept that one away from Toby. As I left, I check out Toby and he seemed to be none the worse for wear. I was SO PROUD OF TOBY!
*I JUST LOVE shapely women in legging who love to strut their stuff.

Donar, Son of Wotan and Erda, husband to Sibba with the Golden Hair, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!
