Until SG should come around, I guess I will have to do . .lol.
While not a sucess story yet, I could be one in making (or so I would like to think at this moment).
As far as noting any changes in sitch and monitoring them, I think you started to answer yourself by saying that you ought to examine things on a micro-level. I would think that this would be most helpful because the larger picture tends to cause you to pull in more emotions on the potential track of things and much less on the real facts at hand. Remember we don't want emotionally infused analysis (too error prone)but rather factual view of things which can be extracted fm looking at very small things that have already taken place. Too large of a look at things causes you to tend toward mixing in future predictions and speculations.
So I would say keep your focus trained on the micro changes. And to add to that, I think it might be wise if you type them in your posts so that you and all other can see them. Then you can gain the insight of whoever comes along to provide feedback on these specifics.
I hope you find something out of this that might work.
Gotta say my prayers for me, you and all others. Then off to the 'sandman'.
