3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION 
As I look around me and what's going on in the world, I realize what an unusual little bubble-world I'm living in! I'm fully in touch with everyone else's reality, but I can see how successfully I've quietly carved out my own "under-the-radar"

Not being in the public eye or spectacularly financially successful, I have quietly built an idyllic life without anybody noticing, hiding in plain sight. My Google ranking for example is top-notch, no.1 in Bradford! And more of the same will do me just fine! Word-of-mouth reputation beats media scrutiny any day!

4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
What is the next thing about your life that you're going to change?

6. TODAY'S ONELINER
The neighbours are having a meeting to discuss what to do about the local weirdo - I wonder why I wasn't invited? :D

7. NOW THAT'S FUNNY!
John Oliver on Bud Light

8. TRIVIA
Cats have 32 muscles that control the outer ear (humans have only 6). A cat can independently rotate its ears 180 degrees.

9. ZEN WISDOM
The courage not to bow to pressure, the courage to stand alone, the courage to maintain one’s determination, the courage to look deep into one’s heart and confront one’s own cowardice and arrogance, the courage to challenge difficulties—those who possess this kind of courage are true victors.
