This morning I read my discussion topic assignment for my speech communication class and could not get it out of my mind.  It was about the needs and directed me to read Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I like the direction of his theory but I think the needs parallel Freud's psychic apparatus model and can be divided into 3 categories, the instinctive needs, the desire needs, and the transcendent needs. 

Most of the day today I had to set aside my fears and desires to do my duties.

I am afraid that I am not getting my schoolwork done.

I was resentful at my wife for leaving this afternoon to go and do schoolwork.

I got to go to a meeting tonight and talk about how amends help defeat denial and self deception.

Thanks be to God.
