For advertising information please call 905-873-0301 Professionals Ask the A:Communication issues are the crux of every problem. I am going to answerby borrowing from Marriage Advice from a Divorce Lawyer from the Huffington Post. 1. Ask for what you need. It is not true that "if he really loved me he would know what I need."The person who does not ask becomes resentful when she does not receive. The partner feels confused and resentful that his efforts do not make her happy. 2. Forget Perfect. Don't marry someone that you cannot live with as they are. Do not assume that you will be able to change them or that you share the same definition of perfect. 3. Fairy Tales are not real. Affairs do not exist in reality. Affairs don't deal with laundry or garbage. Relationships must deal with the realities of life. 4. Lower your expectations. Holding grudges and never forgiving or being resentful and setting the bar so high that your partner cannot succeed, is just setting your relationship up for failure.When either of you lose, you both lose. 5. Be polite. Don't treat strangers better than you treat your own loved one. 6. The glass is half full. If you can read this, you already have more that many people all over the world. Be grateful. Pass on a positive attitude. 7. Choose happiness.You can choose to be happy.You will not be punished for being happy. 8. Show compassion. Say you are sorry. Accept your share of responsibility for your spouse's responses. 9. Not everything means something. Sometimes a person not wanting to talk just means they don't want to talk. It doesn't mean that they hate you or have someone else. 10.Put your partner first and your ego second. If you both support one another and don't trash the other imagine the results. Knowing that even when you feel bad you still love each other is the foundation of unconditional love."You have done something I don't like but I still love and respect you." Relationships need work.You both may use the same words but not be speaking the same language.With some guidance you will be set on a path for future happiness.

PT, MCPA, res.CAMT A:There are two key issues to understand. One: Thephysical characteristics of our winter lifestyles are very different from those of our spring lifestyles. Two: As we get older or bodies ability to adjust to different physical demands reduces (the good news is that as we get older we become wiser).With this in mind it is important to plan your work so that your exposure to extremes postures like kneeling and crouching is paced over time and mixed in with postures that are not so extreme, like working at chest height or walking. In addition to movement and postural variety taking full advantage of thoughtfully chosen gardening tools like gardening stools for sitting and kneeling and long handled tools for weed removal and tilling the soil will reduce exposure to aggravating postures.This may require changing some old habits and perhaps loosing a little speed but it will still faster, more enjoyable and better for you than trying to work while in pain. If you have any aches or pains that you suspect may become distracting or disabling I recommend that you consider booking a consultation. Q:The weather's improving and I am itching toget out and do some yard work. What can I do to reduce the likelihood of getting injured?
