WAITING FOR OPPORTUNITY
Do not wait for a good opportunity to start building up friendly relations with your neighbour. Now is the time to do it and the most effective way of doing so is to reach out to your neighbour. Why wait for the one across the fence to take the first step when you can do it yourself?
There are numerous ways in which you can reach out and help. If there is illness in your neighbours’ house, you can volunteer your help in some way or the other. If the mother in the family is ill, you can offer to look after the children, to send them to school with your own, to do some grocery shopping for her or to send them food for a day or two. (more…)
AGE AND THE NEW SEXUAL REVELATION
AGE AND THE NEW SEXUAL REVELATION
Again, the fate of the libido seems to depend on a constellation of factors which occur during this period including physiological changes. Sexual opportunity, diminished inhibitions. From a purely physiological standpoint, libido should actually increase at menopause because the action of the sex hormone androgen is not materially affected by menopause and are now unopposed by diminishing oestrogen levels.”

Exploring water: Everyone loves to play in water. This can be turned into an educational experience at rivers or beaches.

Good neighborliness is not a gift ‘given to some or a quality that is inborn. It is a way of life that has to be cultivated, sometimes painstakingly. We cannot choose our neighbours. They are there already picked for us and we have to live with them, very often for a lifetime. Sometimes even our children may have to continue living with theirs and it would be wonderful if we could leave behind good and friendly neighbours as a legacy to those who come after us.
If only we were to remember that in times of need and distress our neighbours can and will be at our side even before our friends and closest relatives arrive, we will surely realise what an asset a good neighbour is.
