9th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Industriousness
The Noble Virtue of industriousness requires that we work hard in life. Be conscientious and meticulous in whatever labor you have placed before you. Always be diligent, energetic and devoted to your working life. Never sit back and take the easy way out in regards to your ability to create a lifestyle for yourself. No matter the lifestyle you choose, know that your elevation in life, or lack of it, may (but not always) be the direct result of your depth of diligence. Do the best you can, and know that your efforts have been suitably rewarded (C.Reimer/V.Elmersson).

He should get up early, the man who has few workers,
And go about his work with thought;
Much he neglects, the man who sleeps-in in the mornings,
Wealth is half won by the vigorous (Larrington (pg. 22).

Elder Rune: Pertho: Dice cup, issues concerning: the lucky roll of the dice, questions of luck, the consideration of Wurt/Urlag (the ordeal of Humankind), the Wurtâ; Urda (that which was), Werdanda (that which is becoming) and Sculd (that which is owed), the realization of hidden potential, interwoven yet independent Wurt, good fellowship and happiness, secrets revealed, the collective consciousness, the Well of Knowledge for true growth.
Conversely:
The presence of negative Wurt, an unlucky roll of the dice, bad luck, secrets remaining secret, delusions, fantasies, megalomania, outside the collective/individual consciousness, out of touch with reality, negative forces set in motion, that which is unknowable, the need to deal with uncertainty, unpleasant contractions of birth pains, secrets remaining secret, take no chances.

A tenth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me
To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.
Dangers calmed, protection, challenges eased, comfort/stillness, primal fire, nobles, destruction of physical darkness reborn into spiritual light, confidence, Ing-Frô, the Sun, the path to the Light, will, leadership, all that which is beautiful and Sun-like, change to good, virtues, honor, glory, rewarding work, completion, light, Divine spirit, power contained in light that washes away darkness, wisdom, beauty, virtue, trust, honor, fame, Rune of the initiate, Symbolism of the Lord of the Light-elves that returns home from darkness, Rune of peace and good seasons.

Interpretation: Luck (Pertho) brings dangers calmed (Ar).

Toby is home. El Paso Animal Hospital was excellent. He does seem to be doing much better. Filling his insulin meds, that was a different matter.
The Dr. wrote a prescription for the syringes but not the insulin as she said the insulin was readily available over-the-counter. When I went to fill his medication, the syringes were easy enough, but the OTC insulin, at Walgreen's and Dillon's, OMGs, $166/$177 respectively. Through the course of conversation, I found out the Rx, on the Good Rx app, for the same insulin was $28. WTF? One would think it would be the other way around, but such was not the case.
The pharmacist at the Dillon's at 31st and S Seneca went out of her way to track down the veterinary to get an Rx so I could get Toby's insulin at a much better price.
Toby isn't completely out of the woods yet, but he's doing much better (Pertho/Ar).
May the gods show favor on all who were involved in caring for Toby.

Wichita Wings v Colorado Rumble
*Evidently the MASL 2 isn’t quite on top about posting scores and results.
Final: Wichita Wings 13:0 Colorado Rumble
WICHITA WINGS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! IN PERSON! AT THE GAME! The Wings needed this kind of home win. They are up against a 40yr, mostly winning tradition. I’m sure there were those who remember that tradition. There are those who were those who were simply curious. Others remember the 2yr failure of the B-52s. Me? I went into this with absolutely no expectations. The MASL 2 is a developmental league with a shortened season. With this kind of a win, however, and probably about 4,000 in attendance in Hartman Arena, it was a good home start. The Wings are 3:0.
Amarillo Bombers v Colorado Inferno (Colorado has two teams?)

God/dess Meditation: Frouwa & Ing-Frô:
Frouwa, most lovely of all goddesses; who could not love you? Women as their own inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, FROUWA, as we honor the Frouwa that resides in us all!
*source: combination AFA Book of Uncommon Prayers, and C.Reimer/V.Elmersson

Ing-Frô, you’re the Great God of Fridu (all-encompassing safety and protection), Ar (peace, good seasons), the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the god of this World. When the day to day wears us down remind us of pleasures and joys. Help us recall the wonderful excesses that brought our lives into being and which sustain the human spirit during good times and bad. Without you, there would be no life and certainly little delight. Thank you, Ing-Frô, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!
