LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH - HAPPY VALENTINES TO ALL OF YOU WHO NEVER MARRIED NO KIDS!


LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH ALL THE TIME - YOU!
I know that some of you really are selfish, self centered, self concerned, all the time, but I'm betting most of you are NMNK for other reasons.  PROVE YOU LOVE YOU!


Get enough sleep!  No easy thing in todays world but necessary for your immunity and overall heath.  To do it you have to try and keep a regular schedule which may mean limiting how much time you spend on the phone, or getting into a routine when it comes to household have to's.  Sit down with yourself and think over your priorities.  There is only so much time in the day and you can't get straight A's when you're taking too many units.


Have A Few Close Friends! While I think we should take emergency calls from family or our few truly close friends, generally I prefer to meet with a person for coffee or have dinner together  to have revealing conversations and use the phone for making plans. Once in a while reassess.  Have you been a taker or a giver?  With who?  Why?


Date - Honestly. Freudian Psychology be damned.  If someone isn't compatible and companionable with you, make them a friend, or give them up so they can move on to someone better for them and free you up.   If you have to end a relationship that's going nowhere, or only held together with sentimentality, be kind about how you do that.


Put Your Parents In Their Place!  If your parent(s) are pressuring you to "settle down and get married," or give them a grandchild or do anything that and you don't want to, it's time to take mom or dad out to lunch, and tell them you no longer wish to discuss your personal romances with them, no longer want to be nagged, and that they will be the first person to know if you change you mind!  Come out with it.  Refuse to be guilt tripped into anything.  Set your boundaries.


Treat Yourself! Gift yourself some pleasure like a vacation trip, spa day, or upgrade of your computer or cell phone, something that is a reward for work, and will help you relax and be a bit more organized.
