Hayom Yom Chamishi laOmer

Today was the 5th day of the Omer. The sephirot for today are Hod and Chesed. Hod is either "Containment, humility" or "Glory, majesty." It seems to me that those things are opposites of each other. And of course all this is in the context of Chesed.

But to be honest, I am not thinking about Hod she b'Chesed today. I am thinking about my right foot, because it hurts!
There is this very sore strip on the outer edge of the foot. It hurts because last night, I felt a piece of dry skin and worried at it until I peeled off a very satisfying strip of old skin. But the new skin wasn't quite ready to be revealed yet, so it is pink and sensative. I should have -- and pretty much did -- known better. Ow.

From Various Websites:
Hod -- Containment, humility.
Hod -- Glory. Greater truthfulness; revealing of falsehood and deception around us; greater ability in communications, learnings, magic, wheelings and dealings. (I distrust this one)
Hod -- Glory. Majesty, splendor, reverberation, prophecy, surrender, temimut (sincerity), anchor, steadfastnes
