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.

Outcome: 8 ½ hours of fairly good sleep.  A thunderstorm rolled in overnight.  My wife sleeps with a small TV on her side of the bed.  I couldn’t tell if the thunder I heard was on her TV or outside.  When I saw lightening thru my window, I immediately became concerned for Socks.  Luckily, he was on the porch when I checked and he came running when I called him from the stoop of his house.

Good morning conversation with my wife.

Full breakfast with 3-eggs sunny side up, wheat bread for sopping, diced potatoes and deli-sliced ham.

More conversation with my wife.  She is so smart about so many things I never knew.

God/dess Meditation: 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!
