3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION

I go off to the Weekend Job with more reluctance today than for some time. Still bearing a grudge about being lied about three weeks ago and getting nowhere with bringing concerns to the executive management have not motivated me to go there. The only answer is to keep growing the reputation of my Practice so it can financially support itself. Certainly after recent experiences that's what I intend to make happen.

At home however, life continues to be blissful. I have redefined family life as me and Missus and the two cats. Son, involved elsewhere, is now more like a lodger, albeit one I'm on good terms with. I'm kinda sad but this is the way its supposed to be of course. All things pass and there needs to be grounding and acceptance to prevent life's continual movement causing suffering.

There is yet still much more to experience and difference to make on all the levels I exist and in all the roles I play. At my deepest level of consciousness I shall relax deeper and enjoy the movie

8. TRIVIA

Some STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), such as syphilis, can cross the placenta and infect a baby while in the uterus. Other STDs (gonorrhea, genital herpes, chlamydia, hepatitis B) can be transmitted from mother to baby during delivery through the birth canal. HIV can cross the placenta during pregnancy, infect the baby during the birth and, unlike most STDs, can also infect the baby through breastfeeding.

9. ZEN WISDOM

A person fully awakened to the jewel-like dignity of their own life is capable of truly respecting that same treasure in others.
