3. TODAY'S SELF OBSERVATION
Another day in paradise for me - the only blight being finance! We are going to go further into the red due to various expenses that could not really helped, with the exception of Missus giving Daughter more money than I would like for a very premature birthday present - her birthday isn't until May.

With a proposed law in the news regarding emotional abuse, it opened some old scars for Missus regarding her own mother. In an odd way it helped me with my own family estrangements, because I realized that though I am disappointed how things have worked out, I absolutely do not want these people with all their issues and unhelpful remarks back in my life. I took control of my own life and sacked them all. I am better off without them!

I was pleased to discover some reasonably-priced software to make my YouTube publicity more professional, so have a new promotional project to get my teeth into, as well as pursuing my personal wellbeing objective of total internal silence.
