If you are still subscribed to <em>this </em>blog, rather than the <em>new </em>one, I don&#8217;t want you to miss these posts that range from the effect of perfectionism on relationships (April 13) to a challenge of speaking only from love for twenty-four hours (May 5).</p>
<p>PLUS, you&#8217;ll find three videos just for the fun of it.</p>
<p>Remember, when you click on the following titles, you will be going to the new blog format, where I highly recommend you bookmark the journal homepage or subscribe to <em>that </em>RSS feed rather than <em>this </em>one. Then you&#8217;ll be able to read all the great posts I am putting online three or more times a week (at least at the current rate).</p>
<p>To see what I mean, read the following and you&#8217;ll learn how you can enrich your life and enrich your relationships, which is the new motto of the new blog.</p>

Just got a little message that said somethng to the effect of &#8220;My Bad. Sorry.&#8221;</p>
<p>It happened again today after I finished a blog! There just wasn&#8217;t time to go back and do it again. Consequently, here I am at the end of the day ready to climb into bed and I am reminded of my promise (at least for now) to make my &#8220;practice&#8221; to write an entry five days a week.</p>
<p>So here I am writing that there&#8217;s nothing here for you to read.</p>
<p>I would end this with &#8220;ARRRGGUH!&#8221; again except that I have just finished watching two hours of &#8220;The Buddha,&#8221; a beautifully done program on PBS of the Buddha&#8217;s life, and was reminded that all things change. Even software that doesn&#8217;t work one day will (maybe) work the next.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;ve chosen as illustration a flower on which I just might meditate tonight as I fall asleep to accept this problem and look forward to starting over tomorrow.</p>
<p>May all your computer glitches be minor.</p>
