That's bizzare. I'd rather be stuck in 11 than 10.

We need prayer AND meditation. We may have a pretty spiffy "When we retire at night", but what about these?

On awakening let us think about the 24 hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking...

Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought, or a decision.

We relax and take it easy.

We do not struggle.

Conclude the meditation with a prayer that we be shown all through the day what our next step is to be.

Ask for freedom from self will.

We may ask for ourselves if others will be helped.

Be quick to see where religious people are right.

Make use of what they offer.

Pause when agitated or doubtful, and ask for the right thought or action.

"Thy will be done."

I personally know some people who admit they don't do much of a nightly review, but they wouldn't leave the house without doing "On awakening". They're still sober, so...

My question, again, is what to do from On awakening to When we retire. That would seem to be;

            Well, it looks good on paper. I'm gonna start using this and seeing what comes of it. If it helps me be more aware on my "When we retire at night", I'll let you know.

            Have a good rest of the day! I'm off to a meeting.
