Up and into the office by 7am.  But today I actually showered and dressed first and sent Sheila off to work while not asleep!  She has a big day as she will be driving down to Shauni's after her shift and then tonight we have a birthday party over at Sharon and Johnny's.  I will be confined to my office until tonight, but that is fine because at least for now I have work to do and if by chance I finish I have my book and my pondering.  In a way I feel like I am back in school.  And in a way it is actually more intense then when I was in college.  Its like I'm doing graduate work without the classroom setting (unless you define your heart and mind as a 'classroom' which I guess you could).  There is a never ending amount of material to be learned.  And I am constantly recalling nuggets that I have learned long ago and reconfiguring or tweaking them according to something new that I have learned and then putting them back into my own 'eternal round' of truth.  It is really a satisfying process this learning and relearning.  This morning I have been examining the selfish (me me) of my human self vs. the desires of my spiritual self.  It is obvious that the selfish 'carnal' self is bad and can be really, really bad.  But can you call the spiritual self 'selfish' when you put it in charge?  I'm trying to understand that.
