3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
A little adversity seems to be good for me! Things being tight financially this month and the unwanted encroachment of Daughter into my life through shared loved ones have forced me to revisit some basics.  Most importantly, right focus, to put my attention on my intention, rather than the things I fear or dislike. Secondly, to combine the Disciplines of Purpose and Grounding. 

Once I can perfect the employment of these disciplines in all circumstances, I will never get frustrated again! Frustration serves as a good warning light that my mind is in the wrong place. Once I am conscious of it I can make rapid subtle changes to my responses moment by moment, adapting gracefully to every shift in circumstance. This at least is the goal!
