From a friend of a friend:

Ask me 3 questions. Any 3 questions. Then I'll answer them. But only if I get to ask you 3 questions too.

I'm 34, and I have to admit that very happy with my life. I'm employed and healthy, and I have a wonderful husband, an adorable baby, and very good friends. But I'm open to pearls of wisdom. So give me some advice. Tell me something that I need to know, your life motto, or something relevant or interesting.

Answer me these question 3;

[learnteach.livejournal.com]

...when you have the time.
1. You've lived all over the world. Where's your favorite place for life?
2. Husband, House, Career, Child: you've got it all AND a nice place to put it (and friends who come by even). How does your family view this?
3. What is your favorite play?

1. I really love the Bay Area, actually. If I could, I would live a little closer to the Ocean, but 25 minutes over 17 isn't bad. We're likely to stay in this house for a good long time. I liked San Diego too. But favorite place to hang out (where I haven't been in over a year) is a lovely little coffee shop off Highway 1, just past Carmel. It's got a wonderful ocean view, with rocks, and grass, and great big waves.

2. My parents are thrilled with Andrew, happy with my career, OK with the house (although they'd prefer it in a better school district or closer to a private school of some sort), tolerant of Charles, and tolerant of me. But hey, at least they adore the kid.

3. Boy, I haven't seen a play in a long long time. I really should get out more. For a long time it was Roch Hochhuth's play, The Deputy. I really like Tartuffe (saw it performed in French once), even though my French isn't great. And I really liked Swimming to Cambodia, although I saw the film (but it really was only a film of a play). I'm not a big Skakespeare fan, although the last few plays we saw were "Shakespeare in the Park" because it's free & you can take the baby.

There questions right back at you:
1. You're about to travel the world for a while. If you coulod magically learn languages, which language would you pick, and why?
2. Complete this sentence: Happiness is having a clean...
3. What's your favorite type of reading material, and why. Or, if you prefer, favorite author & why.

Hmm... translating on the fly, my favorite. Hi Zsuzs.

1. Considering the past is necessary. While dwelling on what has happened and now cannot be changed is a bad thing, the classic line of "those that forget about the past are doomed to repeat it" is depressingly accurate.
2. What do you try to remember? Personally, my goal is to remember all the positive things, and try to create memories of the negative things that do not make me upset/depressed/unhappy. The goal is to be able to recall the negative experience, without the accompanying negative emotions.
3. Is your family what one builds? Well, for some of us, family includes biological family, but to a great extend, that's because my family has made an active effort to have a relationship. But I know for most of my friends, biology has nothing to do with family. And that's just fine too.
