3. TODAY'S SELF OBSERVATION
The weekend is promising to be blissfully uneventful at this point, but my mood has been low, mainly due to a lack of progress on all fronts. I could do with a really-good morale-boosting victory! I have managed to keep this to myself and not inflict it on anyone else.
The one thing I CAN work on is my goal of Total Internal Silence and Perpetual Gratitude, so with nothing much else happening, I will throw myself into this objective. It may turn out that with my mind in the right place, progress elsewhere will follow.
