3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Nothing eases a malaise quite like meaningless self-indulgent me time, and it is proving effective! When you have an obsessive absorbing project, especially if it is enjoyable and pointless, it clears the mind wonderfully! In a final act of severance yesterday, I blocked Daughter from Facebook, so that for the time being at least, she can go her way and I can go mine, and Missus can apportion her time as she likes.

I am putting serious stuff like career development on hold for today in favour of recreation and loved ones. I've not forgotten of course that I have much to be thankful for, particularly the freedom to be able to indulge myself in such a carefree manner. I intend to take advantage and live life to the full!

8. TRIVIA
To remain in love for a lifetime, therapists advise couples to listen actively to your partner, ask questions, give answers, appreciate, stay attractive, grow intellectually, include your partner, give him/her privacy, be honest and trustworthy, tell your mate what you need, accept his/her shortcomings, give respect, never threaten to leave, say “no” to adultery, don’t assume the relationship will last forever, and cultivate variety.
