Out of Energy?

Energy Zapper #3: Being Bored
Ever sat around for an hour or more not tackling a chore or work because it's just so darned monotonous? Mental foot-dragging, boredom and lack of motivation are draining, says Dr. Salerno. "Put simply, we like to see results, and getting things done gives us a mental energy boost." So avoiding tasks deprives you of that high.

Energy Fix
Find a partner for encouragement--a friend, a coworker--and call or e-mail to enlist her in a time challenge. "Say, ‘I'll check back in with you in an hour, and we'll see if we've gotten these reports/ organizing chores done.'" Or promise yourself motivational rewards for completing the task at hand, suggests Dr. Salerno.

Just Joking - The Phnom Penh Post

Fred is 32 years old and still single. One day a friend asked: "Why aren't you married? Can't you find a woman who will be a good wife?" Fred replied: "Actually, I've found many women I wanted to marry, but mother doesn't like them." His friend thinks for a moment and says: "I've got the perfect solution - just find a girl who's just like your mother." A few months later they meet again, and his friend says:"Did you find the perfect girl?" With a frown on his face, Fred answers:"Yes. She was just like my mother. You were right, my mother liked her very much." Then friend said:"Then what's the problem?" Fred replied: "My father doesn't like her."

As Long As You Love Me by Daisyv

I don’t care if we cannot met regularly
I don’t care if we just meet seldomly
I don’t care if you we cant be together the way I wanted to be
As long as you love me this much

I don’t care if you are far
I don’t care if we just sometimes chat
and if I need to wait for the chance to chat
As long as you love me this much

I don’t care if you can’t send email
I don’t care if I am always waiting
I don’t care if you just respond thru tx
As long as you love me this much

I don’t care if am here crazy for your love
I don’t care what others will say
I don’t care if I have a foolish heart
As long as you love me this much

Who cares anyway…
As long as we love each other endlessly…
But this I care to love you more than you’ll ever want me to…
For I love you more than you’ll ever know…

Valentine by Caffrey

JUST ONE SMILE,JUST ONE LOOK
WHEN YOU TURNED TO ME,
THAT'S ALL IT TOOK
I HAD THIS FEELING WITHIN ME DEEP
WISH YOU WERE MINE FOR ME TO KEEP
MY HEART WOULD MELT
AT THE THOUGHT OF YOU
AND WHEN YOU'RE NOT HERE I'M SO BLUE
SO TAKE GOOD CARE
OF THIS HEART OF MINE
BECAUSE IT BELONGS TO YOU
MY VALENTINE

Tips before you commit

# Take the time to compare who you have with who you know deep down that you desire and deserve. Likewise, compare the relationship you have with the one you know you really want.
# Pay attention to how they treat their friends, family, business associates, and strangers. This is a good indication of how they will treat you over time and a big insight into their overall character.
# Ask yourself how well you know them and how well they know you.

Tips For Better Sleep

. If you've been lying in bed but are beginning to fear you're not going to drop off, try some of these techniques: Count sheep or count backwards from 100 (one of my favorites) to stop yourself from thinking about the problems of yesterday or tomorrow; breathe deeply for awhile; or visualize some peaceful place.
. If you can't get to sleep after lying in bed for 30 minutes or more, get up for awhile. What to do? Try reading something incredibly boring.

Lonely Heart by Chymecindy

Sometimes I feel alone,
Tears on my eyes, falling down my face.
Wondering what have I done wrong?
Maybe I'm just missing you alone.

Sleepless nights if you’re not here,
By my side.
Can you feel me? Can you hear me?
I’m calling out your name.

Just close my eyes and dream,
Hold your hands up high,
Never let you go
I’m someone who will love you for sure.


Wish that you’re here by my side.
And heal my lonely heart.
Wish I will be with you forever,
And feel the love of my heart.

Are you dateable?

Do you say "my ex" more than 5 times a day?
What's done is done. If you want a potential partner to remain interested, don't give off signs that you're still emotionally committed. Allow yourself the freedom to be free. Sometimes it is easier to cling to the past than to face what is right in front of you. Don't let thoughts of an ex hold you back from enjoying your future.
