Lemon-herb chicken, wild and long grain rice, and whatever vegetable I feel like cooking (usually peas or corn). I don't eat red meat but I won't do anything really different until I know them a bit better.
I don't have a picture up for a couple of reasons - but one of the benefits is that when someone chooses to have a conversation with me - it is because they are trying to get to know me. If they don't want to talk to me - their loss.
Oh, and Sam Elliot is better looking than Brad Pitt...
Holidays aren't a big thing for me - besides I'm likely working anyway...that just seems to be how the shifts work out for me.
As to vacation time or time off - I do have things sort of planned for myself...by myself...but they are not carved in stone and if I was wandering a path and looked over to find a special someone walking that path beside me...that would be wonderful! He would certainly be welcome.
Life goes on and I am at peace with myself and by myself (and with my critters). Hope to find a companion but perhaps he's nowhere around...
Probably...not known for keeping my mouth shut if something is on my mind
A key factor would be whether it was any of my business or not. It would also depend on the nature of the issue as to whether I brought it up - might just be something I need to learn to live with.
Your ideal vacation........
veg out on a beach somewhere or an eco-vacation destination?
For the record, I don't think you have anything to lose by telling her how you feel, but make sure she knows you still want to be friends no matter what. Sounds like you both enjoy hanging out together and that's a good sign.
"I agree that inner peace comes from within, and to me, living my life with honest, genuine intention is the means to that end... If I find myself in turmoil, I also find that doing something for someone else or giving back...can bring me back to that inner calmness."
Very well put. I have my own beliefs - spirituality - and work to conduct my life so that I can face myself in the mirror. For me, the inner peace can be helped from the outside it does come from within. I am at peace with myself and when I'm not - I need to figure out why and do something to fix it - to regain that balance.
As for easing discomfort - my home is my space. Okay, I share it with a cat (best buddy), 2 fish tanks, and I always seem to have a lot of birds outside at the feeders. I can have a rotten day, come home and find a quiet place to regroup, do my Tai Chi, meditate or just sit with my cat and zone out for a few minutes and watch the squirrels in the tree next door.....
I am related to people that cookout year round - but they do pre-plan by moving the barbeque closer to the house before the snow hits and then keep a path to it shovelled
we've had barbequed chicken when it's been in the -20 C
I don't usually go to bars, I'm not a big drinker anyway. However, if I know that friends or family members are going to a bar or a house party - my services are offered as a designated driver.

The laws evidently need to get tougher in the U.S. and in Canada. Police need to be able to enforce them, get them into the court system and have charges stick with appropriate penalties - especially for repeat offenders.
Some people still don't get it - you can't drink and then drive. They figure the rules apply to everyone else or that they are too harsh. Unfortunately it takes something like this to get people thinking again....
