3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I am enjoying a brief period of routine before Son's first audition in Glasgow a week today. With college work and sight-reading practice to do, that will keep him busy beforehand! Similarly I am busy writing my second book alongside continual promotional blogging, while Missus plods through her usual weekly cycle. 

Routine it may be, but dull it certainly isn't! Mostly we're all following our bliss and indulging our passions and life is generally how we want it. Of course I could if I wished lament over failed family relationships, but having severed relations and focused on those that are working, life is blissfully simple. With gratitude and peace of mind I respond to the events of each day.

8. TRIVIA
Within 20 minutes of quitting smoking, a person’s blood pressure returns to normal. Within one year, the chance of suffering a heart attack decreases by half.   

9. ZEN WISDOM
Life may be more akin to a series of races than a single marathon. You can lose a race here or there, as long as you win in one contest, in one area. All the struggles you endured will become a prized investment in your own person.
