3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
After the dizzy heights of last week, the only way was down at the Weekend Job, but it went Shift 1 went smoothly enough. The main news was Son chalking up a second audition invitation, leaving only Birmingham to hear from. Having just broken back into the black, it's slightly disappointing that Son's 18th birthday and audition fees (which add up to £200 just to book them) and resultant logistics will almost certainly require planned debt. 

There is of course absolutely no question of us not doing so. In fact it is rather gratifying that I recognized Son's potential long before even he did and I'm the one who has made all this happen. I am achieving my life-purpose - to make a difference.

To be fearless no matter what happens—that is the root of true happiness. To move forward resolutely regardless of what lies in store—that is the spirit, the resolve, that leads to human victory.
