I have just returned from a little holiday in Bristol, UK, and I have realised that I am living in the wrong place..
I am just too much of a bohemian to fit into this strict Zwingli Zurich society.
I just love the way anybody chats with you in the UK, just anyone, and you never feel crowded, even when you are.
The way the Zurich folk make so little time to socialize, or the way its practically impossible to have a conversation with any stranger,.. just doesnt suit me. I like to feel like WE ALL are in the same boat,- travelling on a similar journey,- all looking for happiness in some way.
So I guess I am on the lookout for a new home location now..
As I still have my two girls living with me, I need to make sure they get what they need..
and for the older one it looks like it has to be an art school, and the younger one a caring sweet primary school in any given English speaking country.
Can you recommend anywhere?

A Friendly Toast.....
May you always find your treasure
In the blessings that life sends
In the beauty of each season
In the company of good friends.
May you grow in faith and wisdom,
Gather strength from every storm
May you always have a smile to share
And someone to keep you warm.
May each path you choose bring promise
Of the things you're dreaming of
May your world be filled with peace and joy,
And your heart be filled with love

How to keep long distance Relationships Alive?? 2
How to keep long distance Relationships Alive Part 2..
3.) Talk about your future together. Obviously, if you are in a long distance relationship you don’t plan on it always being that way. Talk about your plans so each of you know your efforts to keep the relationship going aren’t for nothing.
4.) Schedule communication time. You schedule other portions of your life that are important, so why not do the same with your relationship? Communication is all you have, so the frequency with which you communicate with your partner should be made a priority. Set aside a time each day to talk, whether it be your lunch break, when you wake up, or any other time of the day you find appropriate.

How to Treat a Woman like a Queen
How to Treat a Woman like a Queen
At our office today, i have many colleges whom they are younger than me in their thirties,as it happens we listen to music while working , so by chance Bryan Adams was singing today *Love your women,*you love a women tell her she is lovey#..ECT...to the end of the song so one those guys said to me [I never understood how to treat women, my girlfriend always tells me make an effort and treat me like your queen!]!!
SoI wanted to share with all the people whom they want to know how to treat a women like a queen...what I have told him..
Many men say that they treat their women like queens, but if you asked their counterparts, the response would not be the same. Learning how to treat a woman like a queen is a process that should be individualized, because all women are different. Taking the time to get to the end goal properly is important. If you know a woman who is deserving of the royal treatment, here are some angles that might work for you.
Step1
Learn her individual likes and dislikes. One of the biggest mistakes in giving a woman the royal treatment is assuming all women like the same thing. For example, every woman doesn’t like roses, so if you like buying flowers, find out their favorite flower. The same approach can be applied to almost every situation. The more you can individualize your selections, the better fit they will be for your queen.
Step2
Go out of your way. After finding out her likes and dislikes, you should focus on acquiring them. You to do what she would want.
Step3
Think and move a step ahead of her. The majority of women love good surprises. The best thing you can do is to not wait to be asked to perform a task that you already know or can conceive that she would want done
Step4
Pay extra attention to the little things. Details are what make moments special, and when giving a woman special attention, no detail should be left out. Be sure that the little things are always in order. Being attentive to details will make memories last forever, and that is your goal.
So try out and tell me. Good luck to all.

We Will Walk With One Another
We have walked our separate paths
Trod on through quiet sorrow
We have lived a lifetime
Our hearts now ready for tomorrow.
Now we walk together
And touch the wings of the dove.
We will dance upon the wind
Knowing God has blessed our love.
We will always know
We will never cry alone.
Our tears will have a purpose.
Our arms will have a home.
We will stand against the storms
And drink together of the rain.
We will share the power
Of ecstasy and pain.
Our love burns like a candle
To chase the shadows of the dark.
Our flame shall never falter
Our steps shall leave their mark.
With the wind beneath our feet
We will walk with one another
For God has blessed these broken paths
That have led us to each other.
Trod on through quiet sorrow
We have lived a lifetime

Now we walk together

Our tears will have a purpose.
Our arms will have a home.
We will stand against the storms
And drink together of the rain.
We will share the power
Of ecstasy and pain.
Our love burns like a candle
To chase the shadows of the dark.
Our flame shall never falter
Our steps shall leave their mark.
With the wind beneath our feet
We will walk with one another
For God has blessed these broken paths

Why You are Just Not That Into Him
GOT THIS FROM A FRIEND....VERY GOOD
In this article, I’d like to address the other side of the equation which is “WHY YOU’RE NOT INTO HIM EITHER!”
To start off this discussion, here are the five different relationship scenarios based on the premise that people want to gain pleasure and avoid pain:
The Big One: High pleasure/low pain
A Friend: Medium pleasure/low pain
Acquaintances Low pleasure/low pain
Crazy Love High pleasure/high pain
The Enemy Low pleasure/high pain
So what do you look for in a man in order to enjoy pleasure and avoid pain consistently over time?
If you look closely and evaluate wisely, there are some intelligent ways to see through the clever disguises of men. Here are some good reasons why you shouldn’t be into these guys either:
HE’S A LOSER, NOT A WINNER
A person with winning traits is the only one who will be capable of delivering consistent pleasure and very little pain. Remember that all big fish are winners. Don’t waste your precious time, energy, and emotion on long-shot losers. Their excuses of bad luck rarely change.
HE FLUNKS THE CHEMISTRY TEST
A Greek proverb reads, “Love can not grow without passion.” If a man doesn’t drive your passion, you have no chance at the big romance, even if he has a fat wallet. Remember to go for a man who turns you on, not off. There is no substitute for chemistry.
HE’S “A CHARACTER” WITH NO CHARACTER
Men can be very charming with their manly strengths and boyish personalities. But underneath a man’s charm lies a foundation of character. If consistent, lasting, and fulfilling love is your objective, character is one of youronly reliable indicators.
HE’S A COOL GUY, BUT WITH NO WARMTH
An undeniable and mysterious part of us seems to be attracted to cool, aloof people. But if you want a relationship with warmth, caring, sensitivity, and compassion, be sure that the ones you want also possess these vital emotional qualities for love. A man can only give away to you what he possesses inside.
HE’S A LIFESTYLE MISMATCH, NOT A MATCH
Even the most charming, attractive, and exciting men may not be rightfor you. If you don’t have similar values and lifestyles, differences may start to accumulate, deepen, and widen. Remember that opposites may attract initially, but tend to repel consistently over time. In the long-run, similar values and lifestyle habits create the most secure and lasting relationship bonds. So while differences may be welcomed in style (and create some interesting relationship blends), they are not in substance.
YOU HAVE A PERSONALITY CLASH, NOT A COMPLIMENT
There’s no denying that everyone enjoys the company of an interesting person with a so-called “good personality.” However some personalities will blend better with yours than others. Repeated personality conflict usually means a large amount of emotional pain. Choose harmony instead of conflict in a loving relationship if you truly want secure, long-term, and consistent happiness.
HIS RELATIONSHIP GOALS END AT THE 50 YARD LINE
Unfortunately, a lot of men only want as much pleasure as they can get with the least amount of work, time, or commitment. The best that they want is a part-time girlfriend with occasional exceptions of romance. If there is no promise of him becoming a true full-time partner, then you have to realize that he not interested in going all the way in the relationship sense, not the s*xual one.
*THE BOTTOM LINE: There is nothing simple about men whether it is trying to catch them or understand them. But an intelligent approach to defining exactly what you want and what you don’t want will lead you in the right direction toward love and happiness and away from pain and suffering.

THE RAT RACE
Even if you win or lose the Rat Race you are still a rat, in other words we are who we are. It's not what we have or have not, it's all about who we are and how we treat each other. I truly believe that if we are Honest and RESPECT each others beliefs, (we don't have to agree with them) that people will be more capable of a mutual and caring relationship.
no work today
lucky me no work today powers out there i get to just hang out with my wonderful little man
Friends
In good times and in bad
We shall never be apart.
I will always lend and ear
And listen with my heart.
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
I will understand your tears
My arms will always hold you
And help you fight your fears.
Be your own person
From the dawn to dusk.
I will never turn my back
While you go do what you must.
I'll never break your heart
I'll never make you cry
My love will always surround you
You'll never have to ask me why.
No matter where I am
Though we're miles apart
That's where someone loves you.
Just call me with your heart.
My soul is your anchor
And I'll see it through the end
Whether storm or sunshine
I will always be your friend.
We shall never be apart.
I will always lend and ear
And listen with my heart.
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
I will understand your tears
My arms will always hold you
And help you fight your fears.
Be your own person
From the dawn to dusk.
I will never turn my back
While you go do what you must.
I'll never break your heart
I'll never make you cry
My love will always surround you
You'll never have to ask me why.
No matter where I am
Though we're miles apart
That's where someone loves you.
Just call me with your heart.
My soul is your anchor
And I'll see it through the end
Whether storm or sunshine
I will always be your friend.
