Hello @eudemonism. Its so pleasant to read on your posts these days and i believe you actually are a charming person. This explains why you are easily approachable by friends despite their attitudes. Nonetheless..that marks your distinctive qualities above the rest.

I must also congratulate you on your decisions..turning on a new leaf...your achievements..passing hurdles after one another will slowly boost our spirits again. This ability to search on the good points of our past despite all makes our future undertakings more meaningful and hopeful..and the past will be cherished. Even the dog is praised now..the surroundings observed and appreciated..and these feelings of gratitude will grow and branching more positive attitudes within us...i hope.

I know Friday will be tough..and the days after will be trying, but keeping up with the good routines u are having now would be a helpful. Distractions..being out and about normally does the trick for me..and i hope it will do the same for u.

Yes..the previous job as biologist gave me privileges of travelling locally..for fieldwork, courses, training etc. And since being with my ex i started travelling abroad almost every year... Europe, Middle East, SEA, The Orient. Looking forward to another trip with my girls after new year. Its good to know you are getting around too. Loved driving cuz our small country here gets me from end to end within the same day. Hope you will enjoy your rides too...soon.

Take care..
