3. TODAY'S  SELF-OBSERVATION
I would like to go a whole day without the long malevolent arm of Daughter affecting my life via her mother! Without anything being seriously wrong, the atmosphere in the home was unsettled yesterday. However a new day begins with the opportunity to refocus.

I like playing this character in the main, but I can get "lost" in it. My emotions inform me when this is the case! Taking some time away at the Weekend Job will help calm things down a little and elevate consciousness back to my True Self
