Plans: DAY OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perseverance is the ability to see yourself through difficulties (sometimes, not always) calmly and (sometimes, not always) without complaint. It’s steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. If you give up it becomes game over. It really is simple, isn’t it? No matter what you are doing, see it to its conclusion. Even if you try and fail, realize that the only real failure is not trying. Failure is evidence that someone has tried. Success is failure defeated.

Havamal 163.
An eighteenth I learned, yet I would never
Let a woman or maid know it,
For everyone knows what’s best for himself-
This leads me to the conclusion of the songs-
The one it shall be then, that lies in my arms
As betrothed wife and as sister.
The scald, awakening, comprehension of the diving from below upward; from humanity outward, secrecy, gift/giver, gift of life, that which is best for the individual, fulfillment, sacred marriage, being ONE with the sister soul, protection against evil forces, being/seeing the Divine, the cosmic consciousness and the divine principle, two forces having a singular origin, the spiritual ego, death-life cycle, protection against evil forces, union of the gods and the World, the uninterrupted chain in the cycle of eternal returns, the Creator and the Created, the deepest mysteries of the Universe.
“Man, be one with God” (List, 67).

Interpretation: Progress (Raido) leads to seeing the Divine (Gibor).

Outcome: WOW! Slept-in until 7AM.

Light snow overnight; outside briefly, in the straw-bale barn/porch with Essie, Toby and Stubby.

LOTS of online fun!
*this WREN radio is amazing! It's just like old-time radio! They're out of Topeka. I called them, made a request; Ohio, by CSN&Y, AND THEY PLAYED IT!

A VERY late breakfast; hot cereal with a banana and syrup; first time made partially with milk.
*hel, it might as well have been lunch

Toby and I out to Meeka Park plus 3/5 of a mile. He found a rawhide chew. I took it from him to continue the walk. It's AMAZING how well he behaves when I have something he wants. Of course, he got it back at the end of the walk.
<>
Toby and I out to Burger King for lunch.
<>
Visited with the neighbor who gave me some ham-n-beans the other day. He asked me if I gave Toby the bone yet. I promised him I would as soon as I made it home. OMGs! Toby is SO spoiled.
*Toby certainly made short-order of that ham bone.
<>
Nice online chat with my good Heathen friend in India.
<>
Toby's godparents, the ones who took him in after his original owner came down with Alzheimer, and from whom I acquired Toby, sent me a Christ-mass card that arrived after the holiday. I responded in kind today. On the way to the post office, I stopped a postman rather than make the trip.

My event on Fb, “8th Annual 12 Days of Yule” https://www.facebook.com/12daysofyule/ has surpassed 300 likes. However, it has reached (whatever that means; probably more like “shared”) well over 1,000. With these kind of numbers, I can declare it a success!

I don't think I've ever watched CSI; Special Victims Unit...DAMNED GOOD! I may make it a regular part of my evening television entertainment. Is it always two hours?
<>
I think I may be to the point I can utilize programs that are on this computer to make them available to the printers @ FedEx. Most favorable is Office Word, already a program on this computer. Documents can also be saved as JPEG using “Paint”. It's too late for my Yule 2015 card, as that was my focus to make ready for use.
