It is the most beautiful day. The sun is shinning in the window, and I could not be happier.
My marks are entered and verified, I did a ton of marking. And I am feeling content.

I bought my favorite book the other day. I think it chnaged my life when I was in High School night school. That is a story for another day. It is called "The Road Less Travelled." by Scott Peck MD. It was on the best sellers list in New York for over ten years.

When I was little, I had a crazy, rageful temper. When Mum would send me to my room, I would scream so loud that she had to go outside. She thought that the neighbours would think that she was abusing me. When I was ready to come down, I would stand at the top of the stairs and ask Mum.. "Mummy, may I please come down now." She would say, "I'm not sure. Is it the good Kathryn or the bad Kathryn." Because I am also so stubourn, I was furious that she dared ask me if I was ready to come downstairs. Of course I was. That is why I asked. The whole idea of her questionning me, threw me back into a terrible rage. And I would have to go back into my room.

My sister on the other hand, was much more intelligent. When she got sent to her room, she would sit in her rocking chair and rock back and forth, back and forth. She then would change her clothes. (If I change my clothes, I have changed myself.)
"Mummy, can I come downstais now?"
"I don't know. Is it the good Sarah, or the bad Sarah."
She knew the right answer... "Oh Mummy. The Good Sarah."

Which again, would throw me into a rage, and I would have to stay in my room longer.

Another interesting fact. If you know me and my sister well, you know that one of us is much more dramatic than the other. Stramgely enough, it was me, the undramatic one that used to pick up the toaster when I was crying so I could watch the tears roll down my face.

There is a point to this tangent.
I credit the fact that I am no longer an angry person, with a terrible temper and am a positive, passive person to three things.
1. My mothers endless amount of patience with everyone that she has with everyone that she meets.
2. My unique music teacher, that made us see the importance of attracting positive things to our lives, and repelling the negative ones.
3. The book "The Road Less Travelled." that states that life is difficult, and once we accept this, it is no longer difficult.

And, a last minute thought.
I would like to go on the Concord. I heard today that they are being retired. I think it would be a thrill to be one of the last passengers. So if anyone has $10,000 to buy me a seat return to London. .... I would love you forever.

Have an awesome day.
