You should make a solid effort to enjoy yourself today no matter what you have to do. If you’re running errands, why not take the scenic route or explore a shortcut? If you’re working, try to get social with some coworkers and share a little more about what motivates you. If you’re at school, soak up the lectures with gusto. Joy isn’t something that’s given to you on a silver platter. It’s something you have to find. Start digging!

Put those practical tendencies aside. What you need is a little fun and frivolity, especially when it comes to your love life. That doesn’t necessarily mean tons of dates. Do something indulgent for yourself.

Try not to make a big deal out of it, but you need to divide your time between your partner and other family obligations. You might be able to multitask, but it won’t be easy.

The miles you have to travel could unexpectedly increase but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. No matter how sick you are of being in a foreign land, there is more to learn and more money to be made before you make it home.
