5th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Honor
Honor is the ability to hold your head high in all situations. To live an honorable life is the most valuable of goals. We set standards for ourselves and live according to those standards. We are not encouraged to set low standards, rather, set high standards and work toward them continually, even behind closed doors (Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson).
NOTE: I LOVE IT when I start the day with online counseling!
Plans: look for work, finish making beer breads…
Ziu, husband to Zisa, Great God of bravery, one-handed god, you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some
ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us
the courage and strength we need to fetter our own Fenris. Keep us mindful of
our duties, and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver
Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you. WE GIVE YOU A
MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

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

Outcome: Toby to Meeka Park for his walk. Virgin snow was in Meeka Park;
made for some serious trudging.
Socks is still not willing to come out from the Haruc, but he IS wiling to
accept my love and affection. More and more he’s letting me hold him like he
use to. It was so touching, I tried to put him down so I could go, but he
reached up his paw like he was saying, “Don’t go yet.” So I stayed and loved on
him until he was ready.
Started making beer breads first thing this morning
My Liut/Kindred brother called and we’re getting together this Friday!
It take an awful lot to humble me. When friends just SEND money, I’m humbled.
4 loads of laundry
Off to Dillons to by a single item that can put me over the 100 point mark
that will save me 10c @ the pump, but then I thought, money would be better
spent if I wait until tomorrow to fill up. Tomorrow is an out of town trip to
my niece’s. I have the gas for that. I’ll fill up when I get back into town.
Still, I purchased that single YUMMY item and stopped off at McDs for a
snack.
To Jamie’s to deliver her Yule/Beer bread. Jamie bought herself an e-cig kit. I’m so proud of her.
Brother over to get his Yule/beer bread and sister will be over tomorrow
morning to get hers.
Family front yard time…it amazed me how long Essie stayed in the snow and how
long she stayed out. Socks was soon enough ready to go into his cat house.
All animals are protected, warm and snuggly.
Inspired by you, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving this life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!
