If Tuesday was a bit of a downer, Wednesday was the opposite! Virgin Media cable guy made me first on his list and I got nice new HD cable box with Tivo and a new wi-fi router to play with! Today's client was EARLY and the session was a total success! Shame the internet was down until around 9am this morning! Never mind, not was fortunately not critical. 


With missus off to a minor works do hotfoot from work, I have lots of time to myself today, which I will spend as wisely as I can. It's an easy day to have he Attitude of Gratitude!

8. TRIVIA
When a blue whale dives into the water, its head is already deeper than most scuba divers dare to go before its tail leaves the surface of the water. 

 
9. ZEN WISDOM
As long as we are human, we are bound to make mistakes. What distinguishes a forward-looking person from an intransigent one, a virtuous person from a dishonest one, however, is whether one can candidly admit to one’s mistakes and take bold steps to redress them.
