For those of you who look forward to reading my blog posts, I am sorry to say that, due to technical difficulties that VistaPrint has been experiencing for a couple of months, I have been unable to post my latest blog post. I have alerted VistaPrint, several times, to this problem. Unfortunately, at this time, I don't know when the problem will be addressed. |

Before writing this blog post, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Passover and/or a Happy Easter. If you don't celebrate either holiday, I hope that you're enjoying the weekend.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the wonderful people who write to me praising my blog posts and my blog. Although it's impossible for me to thank you all, individually, I read all of your comments and I appreciate them more than I could ever express.
Be Proactive About Your Health
The one thing that is more important than your family, your friends, your work, and your pets is your health. |

I believe that there is more than one "right one" for all of us. The older we get, the more we hear, "All the good ones are taken" and other like comments. If we had only one soul mate and that soul mate were dead, we'd be seriously out of luck!
I'm not saying that it's easy to meet a right one. You have to put yourself out there, join groups and/or clubs, take courses, take up a sport or new hobby, go to cultural events that interest you, work for your political party, try online dating, etc. |

I'd like to thank all of you very much for sending me your approval of, and enthusiasm for, my blog posts. If I had enough time, I'd thank you all, individually, but I get so many comments that I can't. Also, I frequently can't tell to which blog the writer is referring. The bottom line is that I read all of your comments and very much appreciate them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I spend most of my time doing work-related work. |

If you're an ambitious person and want to get ahead in your career, there are a number of things that you should consider and that you need to do.
First of all, you should be certain that you're in the right career for you and that you work at a company that prefers promoting its employees to hiring from the outside. To be in the right career means that you're good at what you do and that you enjoy it.
Secondly, you should be approachable and friendly towards everyone with whom you come in contact on the job. |

I recently contacted someone with whom I, briefly, shared an office, more than 25 years ago, to find out whether she'd be willing to pay me a finder's fee for referring good candidates to her. She said that she would. When I told her that I'd write an agreement regarding our orally agreed-upon business arrangement, she became defensive and said, "Don't you trust me?" To assure her that my wanting to get our agreement in writing was no reflection on her, I told her that this is the way that I do business and that I can count on one hand the number of people I trust. |

There is a wide range of marital contracts today. Most marriages are, still, between two people, however, there are people who have open marriages, polygamist marriages, polyamorous marriages and sexless marriages. As a traditionalist, my concept of marriage involves a marriage between two people. For purposes of this post, I will discuss marriage between a man and a woman only. This is in no way, shape, or form a political statement. Soon, you'll understand why I am limiting this discussion to marriage between a man and a woman. |

People of all ages are in the dating pool. If you're a woman, you might be tempted to fudge some of your stats as, approximately, one-third to two-fifths of the male population is looking for younger, thin women. If you're a man, you might be tempted to fudge your financial stats or education credentials. Both genders might post pictures of themselves, on dating websites, that are 10 - 20 years old.
All of this posturing and misrepresentation is a recipe for disaster as you won't look like your picture and, if you're not well-educated, your writing and speech will give you away. |

In the hurried pace at which many of us live, we often forget to take time to smell the roses. I know that I do. Thanksgiving Day is a difficult day for many of us as it brings back memories of departed loved ones with whom we used to celebrate the day and it can bring forth thoughts of those with whom we'd like to share the day but, for any of a number of reasons, can't.
There isn't only one way to handle melancholic feelings. This morning, I chose to do something that I haven't done in too long a time: I listened to music that I love. |

Although I might not respond to your comments about my blog, promptly, it's not because I don't want to: it's because there are only so many hours in the day and, at the end of the day, I need some r&r before going to sleep. I work hard for my money....wasn't there a song, "She works hard for her money"?
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your very flattering comments about my writing, my content, how much you relate to what I write, etc. Hearing how much you enjoy my blog posts makes writing them worthwhile, even when I struggle to come up with a topic of interest. |
