Matilda and Aud,
My W acknowledged her unhappiness to me yesterday morning, after another evening of irritability, and complaining that the bathtub drain wasn't adequately working.

She knows she needs to quit smoking. I asked her what I can do to help, and she said to ask her to join me when I go to yoga.

I emailed someone who went to a church I used to be a member of about an organization he belongs to, that builds friendships with people from other countries. The name of the organization is called the Friendship Force. You commit to hosting a family from abroad, and they in turn do the same. This could be a way for us to travel abroad, on our income.

My W and I have considered pursuing this, but got derailed by R problems. My contact emailed back to me and invited us to a New Year's Day get together, where members of this organization will be present. My W is very excited. This is something worth investigating. I think this organization might be a good fit for us.

My W asked for resources on happiness. I emailed her the name of a book with an audio CD, that has been helpful to me.
