If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
by Marcus Aurelius (AD 121 - 180)
Not a good day today. Nothing to do with the London bombs, just things to do with members of the family. People really have the power to hurt you, if you let them. So I dug out my copy of the Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, the Empoeror of Rome at the zenth of its power and expansion. His words help me.

Isn't it amazing how things that were said 2000 years ago are still true, today? Hope tomorrow is better for you!
