3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Considering that I was offline all day yesterday, I was slightly disappointed in myself that I didn't get any extra non-computer stuff done, but three tasks occupied my time, namely non-internet computer stuff, a sh*tload of laundry and client prep. Never mind, everything necessary got done.
It's the first week of a new term-time regime, and enjoyable as school holidays with Son Missus are, it's good to have a return to structure, routine and an abundance of time to myself.
With myself and Daughter now "divorced", the question of what Missus will do at Christmas arose. Missus has decided to spend Christmas Day morning at home, and Afternoon and Boxing Day at Daughter's, an arrangement that pleases everybody! It confirms by firm belief that toxic relationships are best dissolved in everybody's best interests. Once they leave each other behind, they can both go on to lead happy and fulfilling separate lives.
4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are there any uncomfortable truths in your life it's time to accept?

7. NOW THAT'S FUNNY!
8. TRIVIA
A lemon slice was originally served with fish because it was thought the juice
would dissolve any bones that were accidentally swallowed.
9. ZEN WISDOM
Our lives inherently possess a boundless energy. Summoning this forth,
we can break through the shell of the small self that constrains our
lives.
