I&#8217;m watching my thoughts but slip up constantly. It&#8217;s not easy trying to watch ones thoughts. It is easy to slip up and let things slip. \u00a0Also doing 11-13 hour days is seriously catching up with me and I need to back it down lots. I&#8217;m recovering lots too.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I had to make a few business decisions earlier in the week too. I think things will start to work out for the better now and I&#8217;ve been getting some feedback from several customers too which has been positive. I&#8217;ve still got a huge workload on but I can start to see it coming under my control a lot more now which is a huge relief. I&#8217;d certainly been left in the lurch recently and been put under lots of undue pressure. It&#8217;s amazing how you think you know someone when you work with them but really you don&#8217;t. I guess we are all different and that&#8217;s part of the beauty of life.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Today I&#8217;m just trying to remain calm and carry on. It&#8217;s not so easy at times but I&#8217;ll be ok. My wife has gone in to work today because it&#8217;s the school holidays and it&#8217;s hard to get child care. I feel bad that she&#8217;s working on a Sunday but the children and I might make a picnic and go out and do some stuff. We might even pop in for a cup of tea with her. Bless her. \u00a0She works just as hard as I do, but I don&#8217;t always see it. I guess it&#8217;s so easy to get caught up in what one sees as oneself.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I still seek enlightenment but I think the way forwards is to give up on seeking it so much and to &#8216;just be&#8217; and to be as present as I can be and also to be the best person I can be. It&#8217;s really easy to get caught up in trying to be a good person and to seek to better oneself but actually end up being selfish in those pursuits. One thing I have done in the last week is to delete my Facebook and I have barely been on twitter either. It&#8217;s amazing how much time so called &#8216;social media&#8217; has taken up. This last week I&#8217;ve meditated lots, worked huge amounts and managed to read a fair amount too. I think I&#8217;m better off steering clear of social media as it&#8217;s antisocial.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>My youngest step daughter hasn&#8217;t been feeling herself fully lately which I was quite upset to hear but had I had thought that though. I know she will be ok because she&#8217;s very strong.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I guess life can catch up with us all at times.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I slept for almost 10 hours but I&#8217;m still tired and worn out today, but I&#8217;m feeling ok.
