3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Another week flown by and I go into the Weekend Job segment fully prepared. I was pleased to catch up on jobs outside of the usual firefighting and I'm pleased with my online promotional work. 

I'm also learning to relax and let intuition take over when I find my consciousness has sunk back into this character, and soon universal consciousness will be my default state.

It's another day to be grateful in paradise!

8. TRIVIA
Male anglerfish are much smaller than the female. While the female can reach up to 24 inches long, the males barely reach 1.6 inches long and live as parasites on their mates. They stay together for life. As the male ages, he gets smaller and smaller. The female anglerfish’s light is always “on.”

9. ZEN WISDOM
Youthfulness is not determined by age. It is determined by one’s life force. One who possesses hope is forever young. One who continually advances is forever beautiful.
