3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION 

Despite my best intentions to settle back into the "old routine", distractions arose - but all good ones! This mainly involves better web software for working and downloading, getting used to it and playing with it. In addition, the cable company spent half a day rewiring the street junction box, but of course that also is a good result. My online experience is now much more enhanced and whizzy than before!

I have now run out of distractions and excuses! It's time to refocus on my intentions - all being well! You never know what will happen next! In this life experience, it's about responding appropriately to the experiences that enter your awareness. Those things may not be foreseen or your preference, but fulfilment doesn't come from having all your preferences, but rather by making a recognized difference with what you have.

4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are you making the best possible difference with the opportunities you get?

6. TODAY'S ONELINER
The Daily Mail reports that in 100 years “90% of languages will become extinct because of simplification”. Wot evs. :D

7. NOW THAT'S FUNNY!

8. TRIVIA
Ancient abortion methods included applying substances externally on the abdomen such as various ointments and creams, bruised corn boiled with vinegar, and boiled cypress leaves. Physicians, such as Galen, also recommended hot baths, blood letting, strenuous physical exercise, leaping, riding in a shaky carriage, carrying heavy weights, emotional shock, body massages with hot oil, or being vigorously shaken by two strong men.

9. ZEN WISDOM
The place where you are now is vital. Never avoid what you must face. Challenge your circumstances and steadily persevere. The path toward victory opens from where you stand.
