The problem – and a signpost to find the answer. I feel that my life is beyond my control at the moment. What I would like is impossible – or feels it, even though I tell myself it should be reasonable and not difficult to achieve.

I want to excel at my work, I would like the house to be reasonably clean and tidy all the time, I want to get fit and maintain it, and I would like to do things that keep me in touch with me – I need to do those things – tai chi, meditate, reflect on and evaluate my life more often – daily in fact, via this diary.
