But first ....
Remember my post on how the latest album cover of Diana Krall saddened me?
Her expression showed depression at being exploited.
(It is well known Diana is uncomfortable in selling her albums with sexy imagery.)
Now, a new cover has been chosen.

Sigh. All I can say is that it must have been some gruelling photo shoot for Diana.
I'm at odds as to whether to buy her latest album. On one hand, I love her music. On the other hand, I hate to give fuel to those who goaded her into those shots.
Let me know what you think we fans of Diana should do, will you?
Now, about those 5 Truths ...
PSYCHOLOGY TODAY's latest excellent issue talks about the 5 life lessons most people learn too late.
1.) YOU CAN'T FIX THE ONES YOU LOVE, SO FOCUS ON FIXING YOURSELF.
Gandhi wrote: Be the change you want to see in the world. Shouting at the rain never kept anyone dry.
2.) OVERPARENTING HURTS THE CHILD MORE THAN UNDERPARENTING.
Life is a lot like riding a bicycle: no one can take the tumbles for you; you have to learn balance all on your own.
3.) OPPOSITES DON'T FOREVER ATTRACT.
"Opposites Attract" doesn't hold up for the long haul. A person who validates your existing views and habits will nuture a long relationship.
4.) YOUR FRIENDSHIPS ARE AS CRUCIAL TO YOUR HEALTH AS YOUR LIFESTYLE CHOICES.
Low levels of social interactions have the same effect as smoking 15 cigarettes a day and WORSE effects than being obese or not exercising.
5.) LUST HAS A SHORT SHELF LIFE BUT LOVE ENDURES.
Sparks fire up the night. Linked souls and hands last a lifetime.
Don't focus on the storm or the lull in lust. Ask: "What can I do to restore our connection?" Think: "What can I do that would surprise and delight my mate?"
It may be as simple as clearing out that clutter in the basement that bothers your mate so or suggesting the kind of movie you know your mate would love to see but hesitates to ask you to view with him/her.
As in saving accounts, you don't reap dividends unless you invest something of value.
What would be your SIXTH truth that people learn too late?
