How I Learned to Stop Trying So Hard & Love the Garden
The picture above was taken this past Saturday at my house in the country. In early March it's pretty bleak out on Eastern Long Island, but with the warm winter, you can already smell the earth and see the bulbs shooting up through the lawn - getting ready to pop.
In the distance is the birdhouse and close up is the outdoor dining area with the garden on either side that we built last spring. It's an amazing place to be from June through September under the summer stars. You can sit late into the night surrounded by fireflies and the smell of the garden after a long, hot day and feel very eternal and peaceful.
I spent this past weekend moving things around the house and garden; making plans for fixes and additions this spring. Doing this outdoor work has always been one of the things that makes me feel really good (take a look at where the garden was last year at this time!). I love to plan, design and make things beautiful, especially if it's a space that will be shared and others will get to enjoy the creation. I've also become sort of addicted to symmetry over the past few years, and my visions for all my outdoor landscaping work are now all tied together by balance and focal points that draw the eye into the distance.
If you look at these pictures you can see how everything is lining up and this symmetry is making order out of what was a relatively wild outdoor landscape a few years back (here's the original DIY patio at it's inception).
From the sliding glass doors at the back of the house to the large Purple Martin bird house in the distance, there is a central line that the two lobes of garden fall on either side of, while the dining table (surrounded by wine racks and planters) sits right on it, crisscrossed with small lights overhead in the summer months. This spring, I'm planning a big push - to put in a small grill hutch beyond the garden to the left and a wood stove heated hot tub to the right - on either side of this same line.
Just thinking about doing all this work was making me happy this weekend, when I awoke on Sunday to realize that something about it was bothering me. I was doing it again, the same old thing .
In full disclosure, the past year has been really tough, and I've felt like I've been running into headwinds. A lot of my plans were not working out. It has been painful and disorienting. And through it all, I've slowly come to realize that aiming for and holding onto perfection was part of the problem.
And symmetry, which I love, has a lot to do with order and perfection.
Pain when you hit those headwinds will really break you down and get you to let go of anything you hold on to too tightly. But you do begin to feel better when you hit bottom, have a cry and realize that imperfect is OK - not just OK, but probably much more real than anything else in the whole world.
When you're OK with things being imperfect you also begin to realize that you have a lot more in common with everyone and everything all around you. You can connect better. You can listen better.
And life gets richer when you are more connected to it.*
That's where I've arrived at lately.
I often think of Martha Stewart's career and Oprah's career as being good examples of two poles. Both tower over their professions and serve as role models for their generations.
While I subscribed to Martha Stewart's magazine as A MAN right out of college and admire greatly what she has done and continues to do, there's also a striving for perfection where I want to go with her, but I sometimes feel left behind. I want to do it like that, but sometimes I can't. It's too perfect. But I like the aspiration. She's like looking at a mountain that's a bit too tall and wishing to climb it.
With Oprah it's the opposite. She's not an expert at anything, she's had an imperfect life and she's been so open about her own failings, yet people are just drawn to her. They can relate, because they feel she can relate. She wears her imperfection outwardly, and she seems more human for it. She's like looking at a big, juicy puddle and wanting to stomp through it with your friends.
When you know deep down that life is full of pain, loss, suffering and imperfection and you can celebrate despite it, then you can support others in their lives and they'll feel it.
Which brings me back to the garden and my spring plans.
All of the balance and symmetry that I have so doggedly been planning is a perfect example of how I DO hold on too tightly to things being a certain way and that I am bound - as I have been in the last nine months - to be disappointed eventually if I don't relax my grip and open my eyes and ears. Trying to get everything into place, and not being happy until it is, is a sure fire way to disappoint myself in the end.
Which isn't to say that I am suddenly going to abandon symmetry, change my garden plans or that you shouldn't try to make your home as lovely as you want it to be. I'm not going to shake my inner Martha, but I'm also not going to deny my new Oprah reality. There's a middle path.
I'll keep the symmetry in my plans, but remove the rigidity that has had me obsessing over it in the past. And despite my best laid plans this spring, when things go wrong, I am going to have forgiveness for myself, the garden and everyone involved as I march towards those lovely summer nights, and then I'll get to sit out, smell the hot garden and I look up at the sky...
...feeling peaceful and eternal.
* As Pema Chodron says in a book I've been reading over and over again lately:
"We think that if we just meditated enough or jogged enough or ate perfect food, everything would be perfect. But from the point of view of someone who is awake, that's death. Seeking security or perfection, rejoicing in feeling confirmed and whole, self-contained and comfortable, is some kind of death. It doesn't have any fresh air...
To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest....
When we wake up, we can live fully without seeking pleasure and avoiding pain, without re-creating ourselves when we fall apart... We can give up on being perfect and experience each moment to its fullest."

Thanks for putting your finger on a thought I've been trying to formulate for a few years now. It's in the love of the effort, and enjoying some of the associated mess. Sometimes the failure can force you into an even better choice, which has been my own experience!
This is just lovely. And as a perfectionist with my first home - and many years of pent up home-making desires - this is an excellent reminder. "When you're OK with things being imperfect you also begin to realize that you have a lot more in common with everyone" - this is so true, and so well-stated. Getting off my high-horse opens me up to more possibilities, options, and connections. I usually find that my "perfect" solution/plan rarely ends up being perfect anyway!
Hmmm ...
"With Oprah it's the opposite. She's not an expert at anything ..."
I would say that succesfully branding yourself and running multi-millionaire dollar entertainment companies and philantropic organizations makes you an expert in marketing, branding, corporate leadership, etc.
What a lovely, personal post. Thank you for being so transparent with all of us. I too read and re-read Pema Chodron constantly to help me stay more present and less perfect. I think I will fight that battle a lot in my life.
I recognize your feelings. I found that being perfect and always coming in first is kind of lonely. Sometimes its OK to be part of the pack. Also, when it comes to gardening, nature's force and imperfections are the most amazing aspects of a garden. You can never control nature. It can teach you and show you new things if you let it. You see plenty of straight lines in the city. Let nature throw in a few curves. Also, Martha has a staff of hundreds to bring her dreams into fruition.
As a DIY'er, I have learned to embrace and welcome the beauty of imperfection. I love Martha Stewart but her level of perfectionism no longer feels right to me.
I can really relate to this. I have find that my failings sometimes inspire me in new directions and with better ideas than I had in the first place! Thanks for the share.
In traditional Turkish carpet weaving -- which is all about symmetry-- the "true" carpets made by people and not factories many times will have one "mistake" (made on purpose) to represent the idea that only god is perfect. Your outdoor space is lovely. Enjoy.
A garden is an actively living thing with its own drives. Gardening is sort of a conversation or negotiation with the garden. I put forward my preferences, the garden makes counter-proposals, and over time we find a compromise. Gardening is almost like playing a board game with the garden, my aim being that we both win.
Welcome to wabi sabi!
@Marjolein, Seriously?!
Look at the last pic.
The wine bottles are actually made into a lamp.
I'd love to know how to make a lamp like this myself.
@jennkneeefur, vintage wire bottle drainer (Google image search) plus utility light inside the center plus empty wine bottles. Voila, lamp!
@ MIAMI'S ELANE - what a perfect description of gardening! I've just started my spring negotiations.
Moving from Riverhead 23 years ago leaving the winter blues behind and never looking back! Enjoy the warm spell!!!
Thank you for sharing a personal post. I spent three years caring for my mom and being with her as she died last August. I learned so much about letting go and am re-learning how to be home and how to use my time and energy on a different focus. She, and my time with her, taught me much about the beauty of imperfection.
Four-thirty am France time and the details of my spring garden/patio reno have had me up starting at 2am every night for the last several weeks. Thank you for this lovely bit of therapy.
@AUSTIN & FOSTER - brilliant, will remember that!
It is the process and the journey towards a goal that makes it so satisfying. Sometimes it is not the end product. We can strive for perfection but also to know that it may not be perfect any point along the way. But imperfection can give so much character and then after all things end up just right. :)
Sorry this is off topic, but is there a reason other than maintaining symmetry, why you chose to situate the dining area so far away from the house? I know your garden's not finished, but there is a small table in the middle of what is essentially a thoroughfare - not good feng shui. We had to site our outdoor dining space a fair distance from the house, and find ourselves having to run back and forth for ingredients/crockery, etc. It's a pain even though we've become adept at using large trays and baskets for transporting items. Thanks for this post - one of the reasons I enjoy AT is seeing quirkiness and 'imperfection', real homes as opposed to perfectly staged sets.
I have just celebrated the 5 year anniversary of becoming a homeowner and if my beloved little house has taught me anything, it was that I needed to relax my need for control and perfectionism. It is a good lesson, though hard-won.

No need for them. they are just a fashion thing copied from race bikes.
USD forks?? Pointless too, especially considering the BMW front end suspension is by a single shock absorber...
Lets hope they've sorted out the Fuel Pump Controller and Final Drive problems.

eats01.......Everyone to there own.
YES,rad cals,first appeared on race bikes,but soon appeared on mx also.
Stronger mounts,look better and actually CAN alter design,if you have an eye for design.Besides wavy discs first hit the off road scene to be followed by the road bikes so... The usd forks,as they are becoming better,would have saved a considerable amount of weight from the bike. BMW used USD forks on the HP ENDURO AND MEGA MOTO,so they must be good.
They could in fact bring out a special ONE OFF ltd ed using OHLINS-WP USD forks for the new GS 1200-1250-1300,whatever?
Interesting to see which of the two designs would win people over,the standard Telelever for the roadies,tourers,and the USD for the more racer,off road,type.

Ever see these bikes on offroad? About as agile as cows, and they look similar too. Also, about time they put real forks on the thing...although it wouldn't help much.
KTM Adventure IMO is the best way to go. Serious and the only truly ENDURO bike out there.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
the shared expac thing was a thought i'd had for a long time
Here's my rundown of the apples, the oranges, and both.
Th Emerald dream has the potential for content, but not enough content. Unlike Northrend and Outland, there isn't enough recognizability among the story-oriented playerbase. We know the Green Dragonflight likes to chill there, and we know some bad stuff is going down. That's about it.
The Maelstrom is far and away a more likely candidate between the two, as it allows for integration of unused Azerothian content (lore content and actual unused zone content) to couple with the new Maelstrom content.
As for putting them both together, here's the roadblock. They have nothing to do with each other. Beyond the looming threats both represent for Azeroth, they just don't share a playbill. You'd have more luck getting Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel to share a stage than these two ideas share a box cover.
Just my 2 cents for extremely large values of 2.

New York City - Winter - Central Park in the Snow
This is the always iconic Bow Bridge in Central Park, New York City. This is an alternate edit of one of my most popular photos (ever).
It never even occurred to me that I had never shared this photo online on my New York City photography blog until this past week when it was tweeted by a very, very popular Twitter account: Earth Pics (with over 1 million Twitter followers). I have been hyper-focused on my Twitter lately and have been having an awesome time getting into the various discussions that occur on there revolving around NYC and travel, two subjects I am passionate about.
A Twitter follower of mine notified me that she noticed that a photo of mine had been shared without any credit and linked to the tweet. I scratched my head for a good 5 minutes or so trying to figure out how this popular twitter account even came across this particular edit when I noticed the unmistakable Stocksy watermark all over their share of my photo! You see, some of my photos belong to a rather exclusive (and gorgeous) stock collection over at Stocksy. It appears that whoever shared it went to my profile and yanked the photo directly from there to share it. The tweet got well over 2,000 re-tweets and 3,000+ favorites which is no small feat but I was really bummed that I wasn't credited at all especially since my Stocksy profile actually shows all of my social media links including my Twitter!
In any case, I e-mailed them and they removed the tweet, apologized and asked me to re-submit to their site in the future and they would gladly tweet with proper credit.
So here I am officially sharing this photo that seems to have ended up in quite a few places already (it appears people on We Heart It and Pinterest also had a field day passing it around without credit at some point…). Ah, the internet!

Central Park winter path. Shakespeare Garden in the snow.
I think back to days spent wrapped in the cold silence of freshly fallen snow in Central Park.
The labyrinth-like path leading from Shakespeare Garden lined by a wooden fence twists and turns in the snow winding its way under trees whose branches reach out to each other like eager arms awaiting the warmth of an embrace.
It's on days like this when the sun rests longer than usual and winter's essence seeps through every crack and crevice that the earth quivers a ghost shiver that rests in summer's memory.
The rustic wooden fence rests on a four acre section of Central Park known as the Shakespeare Garden which is located in the west part of the park near 79th Street. On the 300th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death in 1916, this area was dedicated to Shakespeare and named. The plants and flowers that are found in this area are all mentioned in the works of the playwright and are also plants and flowers that are found in his garden in Starford-upon-Avon. There is even a white mulberry tree on this four acre plot of land that is said to have grown from a graft of a tree planted by Shakespeare himself in the 1600s.
While the paths that winds through Central Park's Shakespeare Garden is gorgeous in the warmer months of the year, it's absolutely stunning when snow has freshly fallen.
This photo was taken during one of the last major snowstorms (a blizzard) in New York City back in 2011. We haven't seen snow like this, in this magnitude, since then. I have been going through my photos from the two blizzards we experienced that winter season wondering if we will ever see snow like this again. Who knows?

New York City in the snow. Central Park winter landscape at Bow Bridge.
There is something undeniably magical that occurs as the snow falls
swirling and twirling in the air
until it hits the ground heavy with the weight of a thousand promises:
exultations and dreams held close to the earth
in the stillness between wintry pauses
as the city lays in wait
like a snow-globe resting between giddy shakes of joy.
Bow Bridge is one of Central Park's most iconic structures. It was built between 1859 and 1862 and is shaped like an archer's bow. This particular image was taken during a snowstorm in Central Park, New York City. Bow Bridge sits covered by a beautiful layer of freshly fallen snow as the buildings that line Central Park West sit in the distance just past the snow-laden trees.
I am a bit giddy because it appears that New York City may actually get some snow tomorrow. I read this highly entertaining piece of writing by Andy Newman in the NY Times earlier: "Tomorrow, It Will Snow, Perfectly" which had me at hello with its opening paragraph:
"The ideal city snowstorm, meteorological Platonists say, blankets the landscape without burying it, beautifies but does not burden, transforms and cocoons without paralyzing or even particularly inconveniencing."
Of course, I always feel a bit like Winona Ryder in one of the best scenes from Edward Scissorhands (the music from that scene = awesome) during the first real snow of the winter season here.
Here's hoping! :)
P.S. Edited to add that yes, this is the same bridge that Dr. Who ran over in the Angels take Manhattan episode.

Central Park winter landscape. Angel of the Waters. New York City.
The silence that engulfs the world after a snowfall is deafening.
All heartbeats, all footsteps, all meandering thoughts and evocations are wrapped in a heavy blanket of snow.
Trees cease reaching for the sky, weighed down by the weight of the sky's tears of joy and there is scarcely a breath to be heard.
Winter muffles the earth silencing it's yearnings,
and all at once there is peace.
The definitive crown jewel of Central Park, Angel of the Waters is one of the most famous and universally loved fountains in the world. Also known as Bethesda Fountain, it was designed by Emma Stebbins.
This particular photo of a snow-covered Central Park was taken during a break in a bitter blizzard that hit New York City a few winters ago. The snowstorm dropped a few feet of snow on the city covering the trees and iconic sights in Central Park in a gorgeous coating of icy beauty.

Out of all the pictures above have you noticed that the iPhone has looked the same from day one where the Samsung devices have changed with every device.
Looks like Apple dont like change. They have stayed with the boring look and I guess will keep up the boring look. No wonder jailbreaking for a new look is so popular.
And the devices don't even look similar. If I was the judge I would charge Apple for so many fraudulent lawsuits.
dear fanboy, people like you will never understand that any phone or feature is any close to an iphone. Go start camping now months before the iphones 5 release. You are trully one of those. I feel sorry for you. Lmfao.
Isn't even programmed in the same language so it's not a copy. Apple better step up their game with the iphone 5 because if they don't i might just have to go with whatever the samsung galaxy model at the time is.
Siri vs. Android: Which Is Better at Understanding Voice Commands?
Apple already had a lawsuit against Samsung, so all this talk that Apple is scared is just garbage. If Apple feels like the new phone treads on a couple patents that are already in a lawsuit then they have every right to do what they're doing. I think the Galaxy S III look like a good phone, I like the screen and the speed it has. The whole voice thing is definitely a rip from Siri. I wish Samsung had taken more time to innovate something different, sure it costs less to just copy someone else's stuff, but it's nothing new, which is why I wish they had done something different.
Really? On what grounds do they think they should get an injunction for this?
It is clearly different from an iPhone, so I don't see the issue here.
If there is no grounds for injunction, Apple will make up one.
Let me google that for you
You may want to take a look at this.
I think apple is pulling a lot of lemons again. Lemon....now that would make a great business name for apple....too bad Steve didn't think up that one first.
Attachment 589381Attachment 589382 Attachment 589384
its so funny that when they created the galaxy s is like the iphone 3gs they just make the camera 5 megapixel and bigger screen... haha :
iphone = Single core, 600 MHz
Galaxy S = Single core, 1000 MHz
iPhone = 256 MB RAM
Galaxy S = 512 MB RAM
iphone = LCD
Galaxy S = Super AMOLED
See the full details here, Apple iPhone 3GS vs Samsung Galaxy S - Phone specs comparison
lol apple stop trying to sue and try to come up with a phone even half as decent as a samsung........no didnt thinkyou could,,,,,keep sueing
Apple is such a patent troll. The S-Voice feature in the GS3 is derived from Vlingo's tech that existed prior to Siri.
I suspect that this is Apple's ploy all along. To try to disrupt a product right before it launches so that it loses it's popularity with the public. They tried the same with HTC recently.
As far as I can see Apple has never invented anything. They are a great marketer and purchaser of others' patents. But as companies become mega-goliaths instead of spending money on R&D and improved production lines they use the courts to improve their bottom line and hurt consumer choice and buying power.
IMHO one should not be able to outright sue in this manner unless real harm can be proven, and not just merely a similar idea (especially if it's one that actually existed before your own, which is the case with Vilngo, even if it's not completely the same - and if it isn't, then why are they suing?) Lets be honest here. Apple is abusing the justice system, as are others, but Apple does it the most. Judges need to wise up and get a good handle on this and send a strong message to ALL of these companies to knock it the hell off.
I have an iPhone 4S and Galaxy SII. Both are cool phones but iPhone is my favorite phone. I think iOS is better than ICS.
this time around, i'm guessing the new iphone will look more like the samsung. the gs3 finally got it right. ... and they got it first.

re: raiding in your absence.
Try doing a few runs where you are present, but another RL is leading. It will give them practice and confidence, plus allow people to see that raids can be effective without you there.
(Although I'm guessing this is a circular problem. When X isn't there we don't get enough people, so it's not worth the trouble to log in and wait for the raid to be canceled.)

I love making homemade dressings as I can experiment with different flavors. Sometimes I just want something different than what I can purchase in the store. Not to mention that the salad dressings that you can make at home are often times lower in calories and fat. For this Skinny Sweet and Sour Dressing, I combined sweet onions, extra virgin olive oil, and celery seed for a sweet and light dressing that pairs great with summer and fruit salads.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Yield: 10 servings
Serving size: 1.5 Tbsp
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup granulated Splenda
- ½ cup distilled white vinegar
- ¼ onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp celery seed
- Using a blender or shaker, blend until all ingredients are mixed well or emulsified.

Crosby's vs. Ovechkin's
This is exactly what the league, the networks and the fans were wanting from the Caps vs. Pens, eh? Even though Washington takes a two-OH lead into Pittsburgh, both games have been awesome to watch.
Crosby has scored all of Pittsburgh's five goals so far…including matching Ovechkin's hat trick Monday night…and very well could have a pair of three-goalers had it not been for Simeon Varlamov's incredible save in game-one!
I've picked the Capitals in seven games in this matchup…and I'm prayin' to God it does indeed go the full seven.
74 mph+ Winds vs. Big Bad Bruins

"Not good", replyed Mary.
"You mean, not good like one out of a hundred"?
"I'd say more like one out of a million".

5.0 out of 5 stars BITTERSWEET LOVE STORY
You can always tell you're reading a great book when you find yourself skipping ahead into the final chapters to see how things will be resolved, even though you've vowed you wouldn't. Love doesn't always have a happy ending (especially when it comes to a Nicholas Sparks novel) and this is a wonderful, albeit quick, tear-jerking romance.

2.0 out of 5 stars Johnny Come Lately,
Cee Ess - See all my reviews
I decided to be tongue and cheek with my review title; the book didn't exactly thrill me. The storyline itself is relevant for the contemporary romance genre. Intead of WWI or WWII dividing people, the story provides a contemporary lense on what Iraq does to soldiers and the relationships that they try to build and can't have fully. Although it's about a romance trying to survive on letter writing, there are hardly any letters in the book; that was disappointing. I don't completing understand (or maybe accept) how Sparks is so popular, except that it's basic reading material and lots of people like love stories.
The biggest problem with the book, however, is voice (with other smaller problems like describing the boring details of heating food in a microwave). The book is written with John as narrator (first person). John describes his experiences using words that don't match his rugged demeanour and therefore he doesn't seem real, just the creation of a writer describing someone else. Also, his voice wasn't unique; it sounded too similar to Wilson in "The Wedding". I think the book would have been better if he wrote it the third person and incorporated a lot more of the letter writing between John and Savannah. That way, the romance that developed would have been more tangible and believable by showing it instead of telling it through John's disjointed voice. The film does a better job at portraying the character of John and demonstrating the chemistry between the two young lovers.
In terms of writing style, again, it's basic. She may not sell as many books as Sparks, but I like Joshilyn Jackson's writing better because it has more depth when it comes to character development.
3.0 out of 5 stars What it isn't, what it is.,
Schmadrian - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dear John (Hardcover)
First off, I need to make some declarations before I get into the meat of my 'review'.
1) I don't write these reviews for Amazon, or its readers. I write them for *me*. I write them to better understand the novel I've just read, to better understand what the author accomplished (while guessing at what their intent had been...sometimes not the same thing at all), to better understand what works and what doesn't, towards the eventual goal of gaining a better grasp on what great writing is, what great storytelling is, what great entertainment novels featuring these elements can be. It is a self-serving process that I offer up for other Amazon readers to take as they will.
2) I envy and admire Mr. Sparks. He's managed to carve out a niche in the marketplace, writing (presumably) what he wants to write, and has a solid fan-base encouraging him to continue doing so. What more could a modern author hope for in this day and age? (Never mind that he's had the added compliment of having several of his novels adapted for the screen.)
3) I bawled through all the 'romance' portions of this novel. It is, at the very heart of it, a testimony to not getting what you crave, when your entire being (to the extent that you're capable at the time of giving your 'entire' anything) is lost in loving someone...or at the very least, desiring them. I know of what the lead character John speaks; I've carried the burden of a 'lost love' for more than seven years now. (Even though mine was a world-class case of unrequited love.) Leading me to Point #4...
4) I'm happy for the readers for whom this book resonated. Resonance is a personal thing. And perhaps the most contentious thing I can say is that resonance does not automatically infer -or confer- quality of writing. It only means that it resonated for you...and for other people who share this experience...and that the novel provided an especially positive experience for you. It doesn't mean it's a 'great novel', no matter how many copies it sells.
What It Isn't:
-It's not great writing.
-It's not great storytelling.
-It's not a great reading experience. (Unless you are a lover of this genre.)
What It Is:
-'Dear John' is 'genre-porn'. Pornography is generally acknowledged as material with no other inherent value -or purpose- than to stimulate a prurient reaction. 'Dear John' is a romance, further a heartbreaking romance, and so its purpose is to elicit the reactions that someone reading this genre wants to experience. That's all. It doesn't aim to elevate the reader's consciousness, it doesn't aim to illuminate Life (although there are a few nice examples in 'Dear John' when it does: adult Asberger's, the realities of armed forces personnel in Iraq not having been trained to be judge or police officers and the concomitant stress involved at still attempting to execute these duties, a general view of coin collecting), and it's not aiming to be 'great literature'. It unabashadly takes a certain tack...and Mr. Sparks does what he can to maintain it.
-It is facile but well-intentioned. On occasion it's ham-fisted...but nevertheless with an undeniable amount of acumen and ability, thanks to the author's experience and resultant skill. Unfortunately, in more than a handful of instances, it gets so mired in...well, in what can only be referred to as 'cringe-inducing' dialogue...that it threatens true mediocrity.
-It is a novel that at times has an inconsistent narrator's voice. 'Plaintive', for example, isn't a word that John -as he's revealed to us- would have used. If it had been, the entire tenor of the novel would have been shifted about seven degrees to the north/northeast. The same goes for the use of 'portending'. Ugh.
-On that note, when you have an emotionally-unevolved character acting as the narrator- Well, is that really what you want to have, given the limitations...unless you're intending on this narrator's limitations to become a huge part of the story? Because in 'Dear John', they're not. They inform the story, they affect the story, but they do not so much as to warrant taking this approach.
-It is a pleasing serving of what this genre aims to feed its patrons with, the sort of stuff that for those readers who want this kind of confection, hits the spot.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Real Soap Opera,
Toni Osborne "The Way I See It" (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dear John (Paperback)
This is a light and enjoyable novel, one that will give you a few hours escaping reality and plunging into a sappy and romantic fantasy.
This is about army sergeant John Tyree narrating his love for Savannah Curtis, the girl of his dreams, and their relationship. It is the typical boy meet girl love story in the post 9/11 world. Boy goes to war and girl waits for him to finish his tour of duty. Here the specific war is not important, the author doesn't delve into the effects it had on his characters. When John re-enlists it weighs heavily on their relationship. Will their love survive.....
This novel is a quick read; the characters are realistic enough and likable, the plot is very predictable and not complex. The story hovers around the ideals of love and how fragile it can be. Added are some unrealistic twists leading to appropriate sadness and some heart wrenching moments, bringing tears to your eyes. If you are a fan of soap opera, this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars BITTERSWEET LOVE STORY,
Buggy "SUNNIE Day reader" (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
You can always tell you're reading a great book when you find yourself skipping ahead into the final chapters to see how things will be resolved, even though you've vowed you wouldn't. Love doesn't always have a happy ending (especially when it comes to a Nicholas Sparks novel) and this is a wonderful, albeit quick, tear-jerking romance.
Our hero John grew up with a silent, meticulously organized father that he didn't understand. In his teens he began to rebel, hanging out, playing pool and drinking. This continues for a number of years with John working menial jobs, getting several tattoos and going nowhere fast. Eventually John decides its time to grow up and he joins the army. In fact it's during 2 weeks leave that he first meets Savannah, diving into the ocean to rescue her sinking purse. Savannah is your stereotypical good-girl; raised in a stable family she's kind, pretty and hopes to save the world. It's also love at first sight for our couple despite the warnings from her tattoo phobic college friends. Together the pair plans a future together, counting down the days until John's discharge as Savannah helps him understand his father and he in turn feels contentment for the first time in his life.
On Sept 11 everything changes as John in a moment of patriotic loyalty chooses to re-up in the army, putting a hold on their marriage plans while he enters the war in Iraq. The two try to maintain a long distance relationship but the war changes John and the years apart put a strain on their deep love. When John's father grows ill he returns home but will he be too late to save both his relationship with his father and the love of his life?
I fell in love with John's character and surprisingly his father too. Each is well written and they felt like real people. I also enjoyed reading about John's military career and the reasons that take men into a war. Savannah as the heroine was a little too perfect for me but their heartbreaking love story and the regret that they both share will keep you up into the wee hours, and leave you wondering about John long after you've finished reading its bittersweet ending.
Another great read from Nicholas Sparks that I would definitely recommend. Oh, and John if you're out there, I'm single...

5.0 out of 5 stars Nicholas Sparks at his finest...absolutely beautiful!,
The Mad Hatter "Seagull Books" (Prince Edward Island, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dear John (Paperback)
No one writes a love story like Nicholas Sparks and this book is definitely one of his best. The book is divided into three parts. In part one, John explains his difficult childhood having been raised solely by his father with little knowledge of his mother. His father is a kind, loving man in his own way but is unable to show emotion or carry on a conversation on any subject except the coins he collects. John survives the school years, often never fitting in, and joins the army. On leave he meets Savannah, a young college student. Needless to say, a strong and unexpected friendship develops which eventually leads to romance.
In part two, John returns to Germany where he is stationed. Savannah returns to college to finish her education and establish a career. During the years that follow, John returns each year on leave with promises of a life together. However, various world events prevent John from returning to the States permanently which puts a strain on his plans to marry Savannah. As both John and Savannah discover, it is difficult to keep the flame burning in a long distance relationship. For all they share in common, they discover great differences in each other as well. Finally, John receives a heartrendering "Dear John" letter telling him Savannah is in love with someone else, her best friend since childhood.
Part three, continues the tale of John and Savannah's separate lives. There is a twist to the end of this story that is bittersweet, leaving the reader reaching for the nearest box of tissues. This is no "happily ever after" story, but one filled with joy, heartbreak, kindness, compassion and appreciation for the beautiful memories life bestows upon. "Dear John" is a story that stays with you long after the pages have been read. Cherish the dreams, hold on to the memories, for nothing lasts forever.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good reading. I really enjoyed it,

3.0 out of 5 stars Comfort reading,
Luanne Ollivier - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dear John (Audio CD)
It's been a while since I've read a book by Nicholas Sparks. My last one was Message in a Bottle. Sparks has found a winning formula as he has eight New York Times bestsellers to his credit.
My experience has been that they all tug at your heartstrings and Dear John is no exception.
John Tyree is home on leave from the army when he meets Savannah Curtis. Their time together is short lived, but they quickly fall in love. John must return to his squad, but Savannah vows she will will wait for him. His time is almost up when 9/11 strikes and John re enlists. Can their love survive further time apart?
I listened to this in audio format. Holter Graham was the reader. I'm not sure if he naturally speaks with a Southern accent, but once in awhile I would find it slipping. He played John with a slow southern drawl that at times made him seem simple. Savannah's voice was easily identifiable, with a slightly different southern accent and a quicker manner of speaking.
I think the story is an excellent one, especially in today's times, when this scenario is being played out in many lives. Sparks finishes his tale with a different twist, again designed to make you reach for a tissue.
Now this is purely personal and I'm sure there will lots of dissenting opinions, but... I just didn't like Savannah. I found her overbearing, manipulative, selfish and too much of a know it all. I often wonder if in listening to an audio book, you form a different picture of a character than you might have in reading the book. I then watched the movie trailer and with the characters played by Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried , think I may change my mind again.
So, yes if you're looking for a heart string tugging read, this is definitely one for you. I'm more of an action girl myself, so found some of it a bit repetitive and slow going but I did enjoy the story.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book, highly recommend,
Daniel F. Silva (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
I read this book, then watched the movie. The book is so much better, a must read for any NS fan.
3.0 out of 5 stars "Typical" Dear John,
A bittersweet romance story, which was an easy read, but did not keep my interest. Not sure what I was expecting - just MORE. It was disappointing for me, but was an OK read.
3.0 out of 5 stars Dear john,
Shipping took a very long time I didn't think I was going to receive the book.

October 12, 2006Lung Association hopes for strong Clean Air Act
The Canadian Lung Association today welcomed the announcement by Prime Minister Stephen Harper of new federal government measures to reduce pollution and improve air quality in Canada. The Lung Association is encouraged by the federal government's expressed commitment to take a holistic approach that aims to reduce both pollution and green house gases. The Association has long maintained that air pollution and climate change are critical health threats that must be addressed together.
âWe will welcome effective legislation and regulations that significantly reduce the levels of pollution in the air we breathe. We look forward to seeing the details of the proposed Clean Air Actâ, said Kenneth Maybee Vice President, Environment, for The Lung Association. âHealth Canada has estimated that 5,900 people die each year from air pollution, and thousands more require hospitalization or increased use of inhalers, and many miss work or school. It's time for real action on air quality.â
As smog warnings increase in Canada's larger cities, pollution has become as much a health issue as an environmental one. Air pollution is made up of harmful gases and elements that are produced by vehicles, homes, power plants, smelters, burning wood, and other industries. Besides the threat to the environment, air pollution also represents a serious threat to human health. Health research has established clear links between air pollution and increased severity of asthma attacks, difficulty breathing for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), certain types of lung cancer, and heart attacks. Warmer air associated with a changing climate has increased air pollution in many parts of Canada.
Reducing environmental contributors to chronic lung illness will be a key focus of a major new initiative recently launched by The Lung Association. Through a series of consultations with stakeholders, the private sector, and all levels of governments the Association has established agreement on the need to develop a National Framework on Respiratory Health. The Framework will provide the first comprehensive assessment of the state of lung health in Canada, identify gaps in programs and research, and result in a co-ordinated strategy to effectively treat and prevent lung disease.
âWe have received a very clear mandate from our stakeholders to develop the respiratory health framework, which will deal directly with environmental factors in lung illnessâ, said Nora Sobolov President & CEO of The Lung Association. âWe are ready and willing to work with government to achieve cleaner air and improve lung health for all Canadians.â
The Lung Association is one of Canada's oldest and most respected health charities. Recognized as a leader in lung health, our mission is to improve and promote lung health through support programs, education, research, and advocacy. Key areas of focus include: outdoor and indoor air quality, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, smoking prevention and cessation, flu, and lung disease management.
