Hi H2H - Yes, we are still reeling from the 7 explosions, fortunately neither of us had to go into town today. This takes us back to the 80s when there were bomb alerts almost every week - ugh
Hi Sage - I'm constantly amazed at just how many of your patterns I see in my relationship trends. Its what kept me glued to your threads in my early days

Umm, practical problem. NG seems to be around a lot more, and there is just no 'space' to sit and have a good read. How do the rest of you get on with refreshing your dbing reading when your spouse does not know about it?
Just wanted to check up on you with all the terrible happenings in London. I am glad you are all well. My step-daughter works in a building close to where one of the bombs went off so she was stuck in her building and didn't know how she was going to get home. Thankfully she is fine. Take care

I can completely relate to this! I keep the book in my car and either steal away for a cup of coffee or a 20 minute trip to the library or just read a few pages when I'm waiting for h at the train. It's obviously sub-optimal but it's something.
All those "BOOKS" that I post about I read on the sly 'cause h has historically interpreted them as signs that I am unhappy (which translates into "unhappy with him" in his mind).

Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
Hi Hopeful - Thanks for checking in, I'm glad your stepdaughter is OK too.
These past couple of days, on top of the horror, or maybe because of it, I've just been feeling like its just too much hard work This cainercast could not have come at a better time
Problems, even when we find a good way to resolve them, never really just disappear in a puff of smoke. They merely alter their level of intensity. Or, to be more precise, we alter the degree of seriousness with which we take them. Sometimes, we find it easy to rise above our concerns. Sometimes, they seem to loom large above us, leaving us feeling daunted or dismayed. Pluto's alignment to your ruler is making you feel serious but the current cosmic climate does NOT imply a difficulty with which you cannot cope. It merely implies a tendency to FEEL as if you cannot cope with a certain difficulty. There's a crucial difference.
So, I'm just going to let the weekend roll over me. No planning, no expectations, just letting it be.
Hi midwest - Indeed, I am so relaxed that I cannot find anything that 'needs improvement' to post about Amazing what perspective can do to a situation.
