Achievements are a way to evaluate life and there is effort too and yes small changes are important too.
Some people can be conten with their life and no need for a change while others have to be changing, looking, moving, etc... to be happy. I am in the second group.
It takes courage to stop living for others expectations. For me I am always searching for something, in a way I could say I have not accepted the life I have. Yes, I had chosen it for the time and place to be.
I have not accpted it and I have not gotten all what I wanted either.
At the age of thirty-one, Gilbert moved with her husband to the suburbs of New York and began trying to get pregnant, only to realize that she wanted neither a child nor a husband.
Three years later, after a protracted divorce, she embarked on a yearlong trip of recovery, with three main stops:
Rome, for pleasure (mostly gustatory, with a special emphasis on gelato); an ashram outside of Mumbai, for spiritual searching; and Bali, for balancing. These destinations are all on the beaten track, but Gilbert's exuberance and her self-deprecating humor enliven the proceedings: recalling the first time she attempted to speak directly to God, she says, It was all I could do to stop myself from saying, 'I've always been a big fan of your work.

This is a fragment of a conference given by Fernando Parro a survivor of the Andes' plane crash 36 years after it who had to eat death human meat to survive :
“Businesses are important, Jobs are important too But the most valuable thing in life is at home: FAMILY.
My life had changed and the most valuable thing I lost was my family that I had not anymore once I got back home.
Do not neglect who you have by your side because you do not know what is going to happen tomorrow.
NOTHIN IN LIFE JUSTIFIES THE NEGLECTING OF A FAMILY.
If you do have a loving home, think as I do that you are a LUCKY person!!.
You are traveling on the file # 9 and believe me most people travel on behind the number 9 file.
(The one who survived where traveling up to file 9)
Is viewing a profile an invitation to make contact?
No, not for me. I find interesting someone's postings I might review their profile and if I am interested I will sent a messages or a cup of coffee or a bottle of wine, etc.
Sometimes when the computer is slow I have clicked once then twice and I have been mistaken and open someone's profile that I had no idea who that person was, so that could happen with mine too.
I have experienced several cultures more than 20 and even among the same language-spesking each culture is unique, for example Mexico, Dominican Republic and Panama they are so diferent in their cuisine but delicious!.
My experience with American food has been great:
Blueberry pie, Brownies, Apple pie, Lobster, ruibard pie, Corn bread, black beans with mollases (New Engand), etc. etc....
Good food and great people I have met in the States!

"Tostadas de pata" are good and they are a special dish in a restaurant called "Sanborns" in several cities of Mexico country whose owner is Carlos Slim one of the richest man in the world (he is Mexican).
I only eat what others waste and my daughter would say and I use the skin's animals.
There is a special dish "tostadas de pata" some baked torillas with some refried beans and some cow's feet cooked in a special way in cubes and some lettuce, avocado, cream, cheese on top they are delicious.
Most every thursday I go to a restaurant with friends and have them (the restaurant is just two doors away from my apartment).
"Haggis is a dish containing sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally simmered in the animal's stomach for approximately three hours. Most modern commercial haggis is prepared in a casing rather than an actual stomach."
We do have a dish made of the sheep's heart, liver and lungs combined with some ground beef, olives, almonds, raisins, onion, salt, etc. etc. and it is good!
Dear Thalassa: I like to think that there is a point in life where whatever you do is right. If you had stayed with him is right (as long as it last or lasted) you decision to leave him is right to.
