Uruz, Dagaz, and Othila were the runes I drew this morning.
Uruz reversed reminds me to not allow others to use my strength against me. Conserve mine for bigger battles.
Dagaz brings hope. Today, I spent with co-workers in a safety presentation. At the end, I am hopeful the new culture will create a safer environment to work in. I know it is dependent upon individuals to be as safe as possible yet it does rely upon leadership as well. It is something to remember and to consider.
Othila centers around family and home. I decided to make a side trip next week and this side trip will allow me to see some friends who are family. There is something comforting knowing you are going home to see family. Family who are not blood but are quite supportive and love. Family.
Nauthiz reversed addresses constraint, shame, and limitations. Don't take the world personally. Question: is there shame in the agency or its employees when reflecting on safety? An organization as old as this one should have a great safety record, correct? One hundred plus years should be enough time to be a first-class safe employer. Hmmm. A thought. As for my limitations, I am as safe as I want to be. Those choices need to be within my employer's guidelines; however, that does not limit to only those guides. I can exceed those guides. It is my choice, no one else's.
