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.

Elder Rune: Eihwaz: Irminsul, the Cosmic pillar, inner strength, stress and difficulties, overcoming obstacles, need to have backbone to get through, endurance, “Shit happens, get over it! “, temporary cosmic consciousness, stability over external circumstances, resilience, the Shamanic link of experiences within the All. “That which does not kill us makes us stronger” (Friedrich Nietzsche).

Rune Lesson: Nietzsche famously said, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger” https://www.goalcast.com/2018/05/07/21-friedrich-nietzsche-quotes/. It is as we gain intestinal fortitude, as we gain a backbone, that we are given generous help. Going forward with inner strength brings eternal change.

Found this Zatarain’s yummy, too https://www.mccormick.com/zatarains/products/smoked-sausage/cajun-style-smoked-sausage. Apple juice and cheese…DONE!

Cleaned house to presentable standards

OH MAN! Recently, I THOUGHT I saw a raccoon go across the porch. I couldn’t really tell if it was a racoon are some other, or a new stray kitty that might be hanging around. Tonight, OH YEAH, this time I got a good look at it. IT REALLY WAS a raccoon. Now I know why the stray catfood is totally cleaned out every morning. I’ve had a friend tell me that raccoons were vicious, but I have never seen a vicious raccoon. I would never elect to corner one, just like I would never corner any wild animal. They have always seemed so enigmatic if anything.
