10th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Self-Reliance
“Man [or woman] is his [or her] own star” (Ralph Waldo Emerson, parentheticals added).
The Noble Virtue of self-reliance requires that you depend on the efforts of your own handiwork. Do not depend on others to achieve your goals. Do not create co-dependent relationships in any way. Do not let your happiness or your success be determined by anyone else. Be responsible for yourself. Rely on your own efforts to secure your needs, for it is only as we build upon success after success that we will be truly satisfied. (C. Reimer/V. Elmersson)
Havamal 36
A farm of your own is better, even if small,
Everyone is someone at home:
Though he has two goats and a coarsely roofed house,
That is better than begging.

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.

Cell phone rings, I ignore it. House phone rings; okay, someone is trying to get a hold of me, but I can’t peel myself out of my recliner quickly enough to answer it. Checking caller ID, it’s my nephew. Returned the call; left a message. My nephew calls back telling my they’re getting ready to pull the plug on his sister/my niece. WHAT??????????????? I had no idea she was anywhere near that bed. I know she’s been sickly most of her life but NO ONE let me know she was anywhere near death. I told J_ to whisper in her ear before they let her go to tell her, “Uncle Caroll loves you” (mega tears).

Toby and I out for a bit of a troubling, late morning, 30min walk. He found a couple of tasty morsels. I let him finish the one, but when he started the 2nd one, I gave him the voice command, “Bring it!” He KNOWS what that means and how to handle it. He’s done it many times previously. Today, he chose to ignore me, which put him on the retractable for a while. It was too cold on my hands to handle him, my walking stick AND aluminum can bag, so I let him off the retractable.
*cloudy, cold, no breeze.

When I got home, R_ and L_ were there. I visited briefly, but had to get moving.

Return trip to Dillons because I’m a forgetful old man.

My niece, Shannon Reimer, has died.
*WOW! Mannaz/Divine structure, Ar/challenges eased!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My niece K.R. went off on me on Fb. I mean it REALLY heated up on Fb messenger. Evidently, she totally supports my former and most evil christian brother. It seems he told my niece lies to support his position on walking away from the family by telling my sister that WE pushed him away. I tried to tell her he walked away, but she would hear nothing of it. She believes her mother who believed my former and most evil christian brother. More christian arrogance. I won’t be speaking to her anymore unless she comes to her senses.

God/dess Meditation: (alternate Tag der Fruchtbarkeit) Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you as part and parcel of our ever-expanding past. As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories. Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come. Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull. For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will someday have to deal with our spiritual debt. We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.
