There’s no time like the present

DO YOU ever feel tied in to a
situation you do not enjoy
very much? Or perhaps the
better question might be, do
you ever feel tied in to a
situation you hate with a
hearty grimness?

Have you said to yourself “

on occasion that someday
you would deal with a situa-
tion that has you hog-tied?
And has that ‘someday’ been
slow in arrival? Are the
following examples anything
like yours?

It may have been 17 years
now since you had that nasty
quarrel with your sister and
you have not spoken to her
since. You can’s remember
what the quarrel was about,
but, whatever, it’s got you
tied into it and you’re still
stuck with it 17 years later.
You don’t like it and ‘some-
day’ you’li do something
about it. But ‘someday’ h
never quite arrived.

A few years ago you bor-
rowed a little money from a
friend ~— just for the
weekend — and you never
paid him back. You want to,
and you know you will —
someday -—- but time and

like a fish cannery but he’ll
grow up to thank you.

I know that you' want to

share ..accommodation and .

babysitting. My best advice is
to pay a few dollars more and
go for a two bedroom condo.
More friendships have been
lost by putting two infants
and two sets of parents in
close quarters than I'd care to
estimate. As any parent of
twins or close siblings will tell
you — one kid screams, two
kids scream. One wakes the
other. Believe me, I'm an ex-
pert — our two youngest are
about a year apart and they
sang duet nightly.

Make sure your health in-
surance is superior. Even at
home you’ll have plenty
reasons to rush your kid
down to the doctor's office.
In Hawaii, that can cost a
bundle. Get both kids

thoroughly checked before.

meeting your friend and feel
like“a fool about it, but you
still owe him the money.

Years ago, to make an im-
pression on a new acquain-
tance, you spun her a wild
tale“ You told her you had a
PhD. in nuclear physics and
had been serving the govern-
ment for a year as an under-
cover consultant. As a matter
of fact you did not quite get
your grade 12 and are work-
ing as a librarian’s assistant.
You have wanted to ‘fess up,
and you know you will

‘someday’, but it’s hard.
You'd feel like a nerd. So
‘someday’ has not been

allowed to arrive.

‘Someday’ you’ll attend to
those things. You know you
will. You don’t like being tied

into them. It’s exasperating

or depressing or scary
(depending on who you are)
to be hooked by something
like that. You know for cer-
tain that unfinished business
which you want to put behind
you, yet fail to deal with, is
actually harmful to your
well-being, to your health, to
your self-esteem and, certain-
ly to your freedom to live
your life as well as you can.
So? So why not say,
ENOUGH ALREADY? Set
a date. Some people find the
