Dear Doctor，

　　My husband and I got married in 1995 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children．Then four years ago，our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work．

　　My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision．He emphasized all of the things l can do around the house，and said he thought I could be a great success in business．

　　After several weeks of job-hunting，l found my present job，which is working for a small public relations firm．At first，my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends，“My clever little wife can run that company she's working for．”

　　But as his joking remark was close to reality，my husband stopped talking to me about my job．I have received several promotions and pay increases，and I am now making more money than he is．I can buy my own clothes and a new car．Because of our combined incomes，my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing，but we don't do these things because he is very unhappy．

　　We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends．For the first time in our marriage，l think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end．

　　I hove my husband very much，and I do not want him to feel inferior，but I also love my job．I think I can be a good wife and a working woman，but I don't know how．Can you give me some advice？Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career？

　　Please help．

    A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health．When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him，I knew he was seriously ill．I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement．

    Two weeks after moving back，we bought a boat and started fishing again．Fishing was one of the few things that we did while l was young and that we both enjoyed．It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us．We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before．Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart．

    It is not important how many fish we catch．It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years．I’m 62 and he is 84．When we are on the lake fishing，it is like two kids enjoying life．It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind．I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years．Now my heart is filled with love．A smile always graces my lips．

We're all faced with challenges at work, at school or even at home. We cannot avoid them, so we feel stressed. To deal with them, what we can do is to think positively, because positive thinking will help you find happiness and success in life. Being happy can fill you with light that will change not only your own life, but also the way you view the world as well. Therefore, it's necessary for us to develop a positive thinking attitude and choose to be happy today.

    Then how can we develop this very important and useful habit? Here are some useful tips that can help you

Take care of yourself, because a healthy body makes for a healthy mind. Eating well, exercising regularly and getting enough rest will help you take on the difficulties you face every day.

There will always be good times and bad times in life. Letting yourself know all the happy times and the good things that have happened will help you deal with the challenges that come your way.

Expressing your love to your friends, your family members, or even your pets through physical contact can immediately make you feel better and can greatly help in developing a positive thinking attitude.

Don't worry about something that may or may not happen in the future. We can never really predict what will happen in the coming days; the important thing is to live in the present moment and make full use of it.

Loneliness may bring negative thoughts. You can avoid being lonely by surrounding yourself with people who are positive and happy, as you'll soon find their happiness and positive energy affect you as well.
