Take a moment to reflect on your romantic history. How many times have you said, “This is it. I’ve finally found my one true love”? And how many times has the reality turned out differently? Paperback romances and fairy tales promote an ideal of a first and only love, but few of us can claim to have had such uncomplicated good fortune. For most people, the process of finding the perfect partner is one of trial and error: breakups, makeups, missed opportunities, and misunderstandings. Human love is a fragile creation, and sometimes the smallest thing—the wrong choice of words or a single clumsy gesture—can make love shatter, stall, or fade away. 


Think of the last three people you have loved in your life, and write down the reasons each of those relationships ended (or failed to begin). Try to be as specific as possible in giving the reasons. For example, in a case of unrequited love, state whether it didn’t work out because the other person didn’t notice your signals or just wasn’t interested, or whether it was because you lacked the courage to say how you felt. In completing this exercise, avoid vague, noncommittal statements like “It just wasn’t meant to be,” “It wasn’t really anybody’s fault,” or “We were both a little bit at fault.” Take as long as you need to answer, but assign the blame to one side or the other in each case.

Who’s To Blame

Good real estate brokers understand that whether it’s a one-room studio apartment or a three-bedroom Cape Cod with a yard, their clients are looking for more than four walls and a door. They’re looking for a place to call home. Model showrooms are designed with that in mind. The interior design and furniture are carefully selected to create a feeling in potential home buyers: “This is where I want to be. This is where I belong.” 

You have recently been to see a model home and are now mulling over whether or not to sign the lease. The tour was unhurried, and you had the chance to ask the questions you had prepared, but there’s one part of the home that you still want to spend a little more time looking over before you can feel comfortable in making your final decision. Which area do you want to examine again? (click a picture to see the result)

The bathroom.
The bedroom.
The dining room/kitchen.
The veranda/garden.

Some Room for Improvement

Thanks to modern transport people can now travel a lot more easily than in the past. However, modern-day travel also has its problems.

The price of holidays can fluctuate a great deal throughout the year so try to be flexible with your travel dates and avoid peak holiday times. It can also be cheaper if you book well in advance.

Before your departure, make sure you do as much research about your destination as you can. Find out if you require any special visas or permits to travel there.

Think about currency as well. Will you be able to access your own money easily enough or will you need to take cash with you? Think about eating larger lunches and smaller evening meals to help make your spending money go further, as lunch is generally cheaper. 

Make sure that you keep sufficient identification with you at all times. It may also help to email a copy of your passport details to yourself in case it is lost or stolen.

Airports can be very crowded and there are often long queues of people waiting to collect their luggage. Label your suitcases clearly so that they can be easily identified as yours. One way to make this journey easier is to tie a colorful ribbon around each of your suitcases so they are easier to spot on the conveyor belt. It can be useful to store a copy of your itinerary in a prominent place in your suitcase so that the airline will know where to find you if your luggage gets lost.

If you are going away on a short trip of only a few days then you may be able to limit yourself to hand luggage and save even more time. For longer trips, make sure you take plenty of snacks and drinks, especially if you are traveling with small children. Be sure to pack any medication or other essential items in your hand luggage. If your flight is delayed or your luggage is lost these can be difficult to obtain in an airport or foreign country.

Watching a trained horse and rider, you can easily get the impression that the two have somehow been fused into one. Learning to ride a horse is not an easy thing to do, but for those who have mastered the equestrian art, the experience is its own reward. There’s a thrill in having a powerful steed respond instantly to your every command, and the finest riders admit that when they’re in the saddle it’s almost as if the horse has become an extension of their own bodies. If you were a rider in a horse show and could select your mount, what kind of horse would you choose to be seen on?


 A graceful steed with muscles rippling beneath its shining coat.
 A thoroughbred of unquestionable lineage.
 A lovable companion with a sensitive, knowing gleam in its eye.
 A one-in-a-million horse that’s not only intelligent, but beautiful as well.
