ONLINE TODAY
Someone you admire and care a lot about will be under some heavy scrutiny today, and they could use some encouraging words to keep them feeling positive. Get out there and give them a hand! Be their cheerleader and send them sweet emails throughout the day letting them know you are thinking of them. It stinks that they are going through this, but resist getting involved more deeply than is appropriate. Use your energy toward taking care of them, not seeking revenge.
You may step on a few toes today -- but this time, there's nothing wrong with that. Those with sensitive feelings are out of place, whereas those who want to get things done are in their element.
It's a great day to get back in touch with your culinary skills! Your creativity is itching for a way to express itself, and food is a wonderful medium for expression. Being in the kitchen will give you time to relax. Let your mind wander as you concentrate on whipping up a delicious dinner for your favorite person tonight -- especially if that favorite person is you! You don't always need to use creativity for the benefit of other people, you know!
You may meet someone new today who changes the way you think about your life. Perhaps their cultural perspective is quite different from yours, or maybe they're just extremely persuasive! Do more today! More what, you might ask? It doesn't really matter. You just need to start busy and stay busy all day long. Being active will put a smile on your face and help you make a lot of progress in a big project. Action is your aim, and action is its own reward. There is nothing quite like the feeling you get when you ride a wave of momentum all day long -- you will feel like you are invincible among your friends and irreplaceable among your coworkers.

■ Is it Rude to Ask Guests to Take Their Shoes Off?Often, I feel stuck doing things that I myself do not know why it should be done. Things are done simply because it must be done. It seems pretty cool when we perform a particular culture because its essence, not because of its ritual.
The point is, do not trouble others. If our footwear will visit someone else's home floor, then --I think-- we should consider the cleanliness of our footwear.
Some combination between your footwear and floors of others
* Clean Footwear - Clean Floors
* Dirty Footwear - Clean Floors
* Clean Footwear - Dirty Floors
* Dirty Footwear - Dirty Floor
For me, home is privacy. So, as I also want my privacy respected by others, I also have to respect the privacy of others. But of course, take our shoes is not applicable when we become visitors in public places such as hotels, restaurants, office buildings.
[Special note: some exceptions are also applicable in our bed.... as much as possible, we always maintain the cleanliness of each among us, but feel comfort in togetherness has always been my priority. Feel free is a requirement when I want his warm love embraces me.
So, occasionally slightly slatternly also does nothing, eehehehee, ...
I love you, dahling]
