This morning I had the a small degree of the feeling of insight and focus in my morning meditation.  I remembered  that recently my prayers for self control have been divided into 2 levels and that I thought about a 3rd aspect.   I wish that I could remember with certainty what those levels and aspect are but the morning clamors of getting the kids going immediately following my prayers has a deeply distracting affect.   I believe that the 2 levels are topographical in nature.  The shallow layer is reactivity and impulsiveness and the lower layer is where desire and   values form.  I believe that the other aspect is of the upper layer and is perception.

I thought some more about the actor today.

I tried very persistently to do homework today and struggled to keep my attention on my work but barely eeked out some study.  I was very worried about the deadline monday but then I received an email that the online testing system was down and the deadline was extended.

My wife worked in the evening so I didn't get to go to a meeting.

I made up a game to play with my sons in which we pitch balls at the pitch back placed in the batting net.  We counted points for balls that bounced and were caught.  It was both good practice for them and good exercise for me.

Thanks be to God.
