i - Relevant

There is an iPod, an iPhone, an iPad and an iCloud. That's all important, but what's the common element between all these marvels of modern technology? I mean besides Apple or the late Steve... I is the linking concept. Well, this blog is mine and about what I find relevant or irrelevant: Hence, the title: i-Relevant. Up to you how you read it...

While writing this I'm watching my wife, lying on the bed. Sexy as she is - hey I married her for a reason ;-) - she's diverting my attention from writing this blog, but not the way you might think. No, she's sniffing away. I just gave her a bunch of placebo-pills to swallow which magically stopped the hissing, sniffing and coughing. So now she's reading the book Dialogic Learning, trying not to fall asleep. And that is, for all of you who know my wife, a lost struggle. Fortunately her nose is keeping her awake. 

But, hey, back to me!

I, after all, am the topic of this blog. I want to share my thoughts, my ideas, my observations, but at the same time I realize that it might not be that simple. Hey, let's face it, I already have difficulty writing my more distant friends in a somewhat regular manner. Nevertheless writing can be therapeutic, I guess. Like writing in a diary, but in a way more in tune with modern social media. As a psychologist I can see the therapeutic usefulness of this blog. As a husband I can also see how this might contribute to our relationship. Me concentrating on studies and work, my wife concentrating on her studies - well, I have to say that at this moment she's more concerned with the splitting of hairs then with the book in front of her. More, we are both communicating in a language that is not our mother tongue. So, let's face it. The fact that we survived for 100 days already is a miracle on it's own. Life is a challenge, right ;-)

See, you next time for more...
