		<description>It&#039;s been quite a while since I&#039;ve read anyones blog and you just happen to come to mind today.  I know this is kind of late, but I wanted to say that I&#039;m sorry for the ending of your relationship.  It&#039;s never easy.  I&#039;m happy that it was an amicable breakup and I hope that the two of you remain friends. Big hugs to you.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sorry that I somehow missed this. And I&#039;m sorry for you and MF. But this post speaks volumes about how great the relationship was and how emotionally honest you are. I wish for the best to both of you.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m impressed.  So many relationships dawdle on and on, they cascade downwards becoming co-dependent or dysfunctional in other way(s).  Having the ability to end or change the parameters of something that means a great deal to you is vitally important in life.  It models high skill at &quot;dispassion for the physical&quot;, it helps us and others develop, progress, self-actualize, etc.  This skill can be applied to, diet, addictions, and other things that are difficult attractors.  When we give up or cut down on something we love, we feel the loss because that stimulus helped us maintain homeostasis.  Turns out, by giving something up and instead choosing what we believe will truly bring about progress for all involved, life is vastly advanced.

Initial phases might not be easy although sometimes they&#039;re not too bad.  Diagnose what&#039;s going on (e.g., moods, feelings, behaviors, patterns, etc.) and do what you can to get the best results.  

People report truly excellent results from the daily practice of Transcendental Meditation.  For one thing, it develops the ability to let go of stress.  It clears the mind which then, in turn, clears the way.  

Finally, in conclusion, in summary - I&#039;m not making any claim that the above ideations are applicable across the board for all individuals.  Thankfully, all of us are indeed different (at least in some important respects) and various approaches have their strong and weak points.  I did, however, want to leave a note to express my symphony.</description>
