3. TODAY’S
SELF-OBSERVATION
Though no harm was done due to yesterday's alarm-clock failure, the whole day was disrupted, and I got a lot less done than I hoped. However I tend to rate success by my relationships, and mine with Son and Missus are currently rock-solid, and indeed a source of utter joy. This is a particularly great achievement when you consider that one is a teenager and the other a paranoid-schizophrenic. Amazing what a combination of love, communication, rapport and some good antipsychotic medication can do.
