3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
After something of a "lost Tuesday" there was a return to discipline today and I felt much better for it. I a calm and relaxed evening, everybody sat relaxed in the evening in the Front Room, and I felt at the highest pinnacle of bliss.

Thursday presents an ideal opportunity to get stuff done, and with focus back on intention, I intend to grasp that opportunity! I have recently learned not to waste time on doors that aren't opening and to focus on the hunt for doors that are!
