Finding your spirituality really isn't complicated
Hello Trinity,
After not doing anything spiritual for years, I feel
like it's time to start doing something spiritual
and find some sort of personal path to follow.
Any suggestions?

Hello On A Path
If you're alive and living, then you're on.a spiri
tual path. As for finding a stronger connection
to that path, here's three hints from what the
Buddhists call, "Being Mindful" — 1) Notice the
beauty in ail things, especially things you can't
find beauty in; 2) Acknowledge that what seems
bad now will inevitably seem good; 3) Have faith
in your intuition, your gut and your sixth sense.
Also, darling, think rituals, i.e., lighting a special
candle, making a group meal, having a special
place you visit regularly, etc. Do something
spiritual and something spiritual will happen.
Dear Trinity,
After knowing about each other for three years
and now dating and living together for six months,
my girlfriend and I wantto_have a wedding cere
mony. But some of our friends and family say wait
a while. Trinity, when is "a while" long enough?

Dear Doin' to the Chapel,
This is one of the world's greatest unanswer
able questions. Commitment in one day, one
week, two months, six months, one year?
Pumpkin, living together, facing regular prob
lems and letting time teach you both about each
other is a ceremony in itself. In the end, I would
save your wedding
Dearest Thirty Dr Thirteen,
I'd like to say, what do your friends know, but if
they're your friends then they may know some
thing about you. Thus, get rid of those oversized
grunge pants, Eminem T-shirts and toss your
platfo'rm sneakers. Being 30 and single may mean
accepting your maturity and being comfortable
with it It may also mean dressing comfortably,
being less interested in fitting in and more inter
ested in having your clothes fit well. So, honey, be
yourself, but shop somewhere else!
for at least your
year anniversary.
This way you get
to save money
for it Remember,
sweetie, slow and
steady wins the
race. (Besides,
you may want to
take a clue from
my cartoon on
marriage.)

Dearest Trinity,
I'm a single, 30-year-old youthful dresser. But
my friends say I dress more immature than '
youthful and I won’t get a serious date with
the way I dress. What should a 30-something
person wear?

Hey Trinity,
It seems like every time I go out
some sloppy, uncontrollable drunk
hits me on. I don't mind drinkers. I
drink. But when they get pushy and
drooly, I get upset Help!
Pushy/Drooly Troubles, Amarillo, TX
Hey Pushy/Drooly Troubles
When I go outfora drink, not that I
go outfora drink that much, I mean
not that I sleep ground that much, I
mean, oh God, I wish I was married
already. But until then, pumpkin, here are...
Trinity's Witty Tips For
What To Say To A Pushy/
Aggressive Drunk
1. "Repeat after me. I'm too drunk to pick
up anyone!"
2. "Do you know you've
told me that exact
same story four
times!"
3. "By the time my husband, the pro-wrest!er,
returns, you better be gone!"
4. "! must bring you into the bathroom mirror so
you can see just how drunk you look."
5. "You’ve got blood coming out of your nose.
I'm sorry. I've got to go!"
6. "Repeat after me five times. I'm a dirty,
drunken fool who needs to go home."
7. "Honey, a) Stop spitting on me and b),pour
your drinks on someone else. I'm leaving!"
8. "S!oppy, Drunk, Dopey and Disgusting
are the only dwarfs yoO’ll be taking home
tonight."
9. "Please pick yourself up off the floor. Wipe
the barf off of your face and go away!"
10. And, lastly, when all else fails, try this line,
"Get lost. Buddy!"::
