About Me

I have great kids and health and I love my job as an Immunologist. I like honest people and I always cheer for the underdog. I enjoy the rain, especially if there is thunder too, and I would rather the weather be colder than warmer. I love the smell of fresh-cut lumber (weird- I know!), and wish I had more time for gardening. I think mean and pessimistic people suck so I try to surround myself with good-hearted optimists and stay away from those that pull me down. I believe that happiness must come from within and that every "cloud" does have a silver lining- sometimes you just have to look a little harder. I used to believe in true love, love at first sight and Prince Charming, but over the years I have become more realistic and decided that the toad is usually more charming than the prince, and it is better to be a little lonely sometimes than miserable most of the time- not that I am either at this moment.

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.
