3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Today will be a day for "round to it" jobs - those jobs that aren't pressing so you find excuses not to do them. In the garden there is a pile of branches that need chopping and bagging, and with this being possibly the last opportunity before Autumnal weather sets in, I intend an all-out assault on it! If time remains I will mow the lawn, fix a robe hook in Son's bedroom then do bookwriting until Missus requires my company in the evening.

4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Is it time to address something you've been neglecting?

9. ZEN WISDOM
Just as a spring breeze awakens tender new shoots of green, sincere encouragement can thaw a frozen heart and instill courage. It is the most powerful means to rejuvenate the human spirit.
