I confess to be Hermès scarves addict. It is a one tiny material thing that I do enjoy for the uniqueness, finesse, art, and color of each scarf.<br /><br />- Reformist Manifesto: Liked your comment. I was not impressed with the Epicurean proposed solutions. They seemed unrealistic. I think you should start your own blog on this matter. <br /><br />- Married Happily with issues: Wow, wow, and another wow - what an article!! I was extremely exhausted after reading it. Good luck for all in finding what works. It&#39;s very hard to carve a manifesto for this one. EACH TO THEIR OWN. BTW one of the books mentioned is excellent. I read Cristina Nehring’s ‘A Vindication of Love” cover to cover and I LOVED it. It’s very witty. While it’s written from a modern perspective it pulls in a lot of well researched history and poetry. <br /> <br /><br />Your Today’s main course:<br /><br />I love the reunions when they matter. When they warm your heart through laughter, common interests, and yes why not food too! I love them when they mean something real. When you want to be and look forward to being there because you share a sincere appreciation for life and a bond that can not be broken due to time or distance. I avoid the reunions that are there just ‘in name only’ for showing off and conforming as they are very &#39;harmful&#39; for the soul. <br /><br />Ever seen the Japanese Movie ‘Mādadayo’ (‘Not Yet’ in English)? It highlights this form of loyal real reunions over the years through thick and thin!M4GDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05037301160446631777noreply@blogger.com
