I got really angry (mostly internalised) this morning about the most ridiculous thing. Lauren had been playing games on my phone and had left it on a chair. I left home without it and realised before I got to the station that I didnt have it. I was really angry with her for not putting it back. Pretty silly really because it was me who forgot the phone.

Donna says I am a very grumpy person. I am not sure. I think that I repress my anger. Perhaps not as well as I would like. I have a lot of trouble with anger. I guess I am probably over sensitive to it.

I just found out about this incredible idea. BookCrossing - Home - FREE YOUR BOOKS! I signed up yesterday and had a book before the end of the day. I am pouring through my bookshelves for books I can release.

It is such a wonderful idea on a number of levels. It is exciting to release books, it is a great way to pass on your books and it could inspire others to share. I love it.

Attachment

How easy it is to fall into the traps of attachment. I watch myself and see myself becoming annoyed at so many silly things. I get angry that someone has deprived me of some unimportant thing that I felt entitled to. I catch myself feeling self important when I have achieved something and forget that I am not my achievements. It seems that with every person I see, I notice something about them that makes them (in my mind) less than me. It is only when I see myself doing this that I realize the foolishness of it all.

I watch all this and give myself a pat on the back when I see how well I am observing myself and how much better a person I am becoming as a result. Then the watcher has a little chuckle and wonders how will I ever get over my greatest attachment, to I.
