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 look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.
* no doubt the ones who brought the family over from Europe.

The first one promises to help generously
In sorrow, sickness and pain;
In eternal change, man goes forth
From death to new creation.

Outcome: 6hrs of sleep with two wakeups.

Brief wifey conversation.

A banana + two sunny side up eggs atop two slices of whole wheat toast, and diced potatoes.

VERY slow morning…

Toby and I out for a noon-hour, 5-block walk.  Again, I keep a close eye on him.  As long as he’s in front of me, Toby-trotting with his tail up, he’s good.  As soon as everything drops, he’s done.  He’s been very good about communicating that.  Once her was home, I finished 2 more blocks.  On my portion of a walk, in front of a townhome that I know keeps pit bulls, one of them immediately sounded aggressive.  Still not realizing if it was on a tether, I went right into my STAY BACK stance with my walking staff.  I rather impressed myself…LOL.
*sunny, mildly cool, slight south breeze.

Cleaned out the Vue…a bit.

​God/dess Meditation: (alternate Sunnastag) Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wodan 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 us 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!
