3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
With the exception of technical problems on Tumblr (which I use for pleasure rather than business) "Glitch Week" ends with all systems restored, and my demeanor has returned to calm-and-happy status. My bond with Son grows ever deeper, as we spent an hour before bed just chatting. My gratitude is deep and profound, and my life has many positives - home is in the main paradise. The negative stuff serves to keep me sharp and grounded.

I want to shift my focus higher into Ultimate Reality and detach a little more from the character I'm playing, so I will be using mantras, breathing and meditation techniques that will lift my attention up there and become more of an observer of my character's story.
