1 - I'm blowing off the second half of the workday to spend time with my youngest son. He's growing up much to fast and I need to stop weeping when I hear "Cats in the Cradle".

2 - I had a great morning and am in a good mood.

3 - I'm dressed way to dapper for a half day. ha ha

Though I am different from you,
We were born involved in one another.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
