The diets never work, exercise we drop very soon and failure makes us unhappy, which brings problems.<br /><br />Just being sensible, being kind to ourselves, treating ourselves to small pleasures and changing major nasty habits (which I'm you don't have anyway) makes us happy, which brings . . . . . a sense of wellbeing.<br /><br />etc. etc.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-88203929268333417452011-01-04T11:44:13.629-08:002011-01-04T11:44:13.629-08:00And a happy and positive New Year to you too.

I just found it in the library and remembered reading it and getting much from it. <br /><br />Oh, I am sorry about your dog needing such expensive medication. (My grandpuggy was in the Animal ER Christmas Day and these things are so expensive. I just laughed that my gift of money had gone to subsidize the visit.) As you say, the dogs are so much a part of the family that anything would be done to make them right.<br /><br />We are economizing here as well. The bills are out of sight and the income is pretty fixed. I'll be thinking of you and praying that the weather there gets back to normal. That would be a big help.<br /><br />I adore the saying and am snagging it. My Swedish beloved will love it.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
