Frija, Great All-Mother; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home. Teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!

Havamal 158.
A fourteenth I sing to the assembled Folk
When naming the divine names;
The Aesir and Alves and their various kinds
No one can spell out without learning.
Determination, Urlag; life fate and destiny, life as law, life following the law, experience, test, temptations by life-circumstances, water, sea, good management, test of life, school of the lives, relations, defeat and the laws of nature, life and primal law, psychic & spiritual awareness, cosmic flow, seeds of thought, the etheric part of the body, initiation that experiences life on earth as a continuous process of initiation, The Cosmic Ocean.
Interpretation: Inner stability (Eihwaz) leading to determination (Laf)
Outcome: It’s only chilly, hardly cold, with no wind, very doable.
To corner convenience store for a newspaper.
Good AM work; workload is satisfactory
Home for lunch. It’s hovering just above freezing with no sunshine. Toby was ecstatic to see me.
Good PM work
To Dillons for lottery ticket, Super Kansas Cash http://www.kslottery.com/
*my usual $9 lottery ticket only cost me $7 because I won a whole, whopping $2 from the previous drawing. So, I’ve won $6 eve since I’ve started playing the Kansas Lottery.
OMGs, people seem to be freaking out over the imminent ice and snow storm. It just sickens me how people freak-out over a bit of winter. MY way of handling it; let it do what it’s going to do then go out in it a day later. I have enough food and gas to get by.
My window salesman showed up to collect his money. I couldn’t praise the installer enough. I was more than glad to transfer funds and turn over $2,995. I immediately went online to complete my warranty and saved a screenshot copy of it to my flash drive.
A load of laundry
With the approaching winter storm, it behooved me to take down my Yule decorations from the porch; however, without a box to stash them. I’m storing them inside on the serving table off the dining area until an adequate box is acquired.
Essie LOVES eggnog. I mean she REALLY likes it. If it wasn’t for the alcohol content, I’d let her have some. Perhaps I need to get more!
Lazy now.
