3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Generic Viagra (Sildenafil) was a spectacular success! It works quickly and there were no disappointments, even in the evening after a couple of glasses of wine and not being "up for it". With "opportunities" confined to specific slots dictated by circumstances, Sildenafil is ideal for "rodgering by appointment", and with it now being so cheap, erectile dysfunction ceases to be an issue from this point.

Missus last day at home, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of our meeting, was in general a great success. I am confident of a similar bonding day with Son today and both of them tomorrow.

With the morning to myself, I have time aplenty to pursue my personal short-term goals and disciplines, and I am fully aware of their importance in maintaining wellbeing. I never forget that I have an unhealthy default that needs to be overridden on a routine daily basis. I practice what I preach to my clients!

8. TRIVIA
Women are twice as likely to suffer from depression than men. Women may be at a higher risk for depression due in part to estrogen, which may alter the activity of neurotransmitters that contribute to depression.

9. ZEN WISDOM
Total respect for oneself is the prime requisite for wellbeing.
