3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
A less attractive side of my character is to get cranky when my routine is disrupted. In a day when I had to avoid vacuuming (needlessly as it turned out) to receive Missus' catalogue order, Missus didn't phone ahead so supper was late, Facebook went down and later the whole broadband connection, followed by Missus deciding (yet again) she had a stomach bug so won't be at work today, I spent most of the day being cranky.

But in the Consulting Room with a client, I was at my professional best! I lurve my job! Back in my personal life, my crankiness was at least considerably improved over previous years. However, yesterday was another compelling argument to have focus based essentially in the realms of True Self and Higher Consciousness, rather than the character I am playing.

8.TRIVIA
For reasons that are unknown, males dream of males more often than females dream of males. This sexual asymmetry is universal and has emerged from at least 29 different comparisons of male and female dreams—and it holds true for children, adolescents, and adults in all parts of the world.

Iron, when heated and pounded, becomes a fine sword. Likewise, our true strength and potential cannot be forged without hardships.
