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.

To bind the enemies through magic:
Thus, I dull the steel of the furious opponent.
Like the staff, his sword does not cut anymore.

OH WOW!  A squirrel was waiting at the tree for my peanut offering.  At first, Toby spooked it and it went scampering to the back of the tree.  Soon enough, it came back around to take a peanut out from my hand!  I love my squirrels.

Just shy of 12hrs turned in for an 8hr shift.
I trusted my union steward with an observation.  That trust was violated and I confronted him about it.  I just hope I don’t pay the price for that trust.
*Jera/Thorn
There’s a new guy in the shop.  He looks every bit as old as I am if not a bit older.  I’m sixty-three.  Turns out he’s FIFTY-NINE!  Amazing…

God/dess Meditation: Heimo, HEAR ME!  Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods.  You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!
