3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
There is something to be said for routine! You can get more stuff done! As well as quality time with Son, I accomplished several other important tasks. Despite Son initially confusing acknowledgements with acceptances, as it turns out, all three music colleges to which Son applied have given him auditions, and all logistics have now been organized. I then went on to get my online presence updated and made more progress on my book.

It being a normal Wednesday, I have the house to myself during the day, so I have a golden opportunity to do bookwriting, broken up with some physical activity. It's another day in paradise savouring all the love, joy and comfort I've been blessed with.

9. ZEN WISDOM
When we have a genuine sense that, no matter how difficult our present circumstances, we are not alone—that we are vitally connected with others and with the world—we will, without fail, rise up to the challenge of living again.
