(As I mentioned doing at the close of last Saturday night’s deleted session, today I paid our NY State and Federal income taxes a few days ahead of time, hoping the action would contribute to my sense of freedom, and perhaps Jane’s too. I’ve felt pretty good today, although a trace of the panicky feeling returned after supper this evening.
(Both of us have been rereading Seth’s own resolutions for the New Year frequently, as given on January 1, 1979. Before tonight’s session Jane read over the questions I’ve written out, derived from my reading of the 367th session. We discussed them briefly. I could list many more, but probably won’t.

She dropped in for a visit, bringing a pudding cake and a Christmas card to her from an old friend-classmate of Marian’s; Marian had seen her friend last year for the first time in 15 years. On the card the feminine friend asked Marian to tell Jane that “the books” had changed her life for the better. Marian had laughed and said that now she’s going to read the books also, to see what had so moved her friend. Marian knows of the Seth thing.
