Learning to play the guitar well is something that requires dedication. However, you don’t have to devote all of your time to practice. Simply set aside 15-30 minutes every day to practice playing guitar and commit to sticking to this schedule no matter what.  Use this practice time to work on the chords you already know and add new chords to the mix. Once you know enough chords, try learning to play a whole song! Some examples of easy guitar songs for beginners include the Beatles’ “Love Me Do,” Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Proud Mary,” and Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline.” If you’re just looking for new chords to learn, you can buy books that include the guitar chords for a lot of famous and popular songs at nearly any music store or book retailer. Many music books will also include helpful tips and techniques for playing the guitar that you may not have encountered in practicing on your own. Some books will also include helpful multimedia tools, such as CDs, that make learning new techniques on the guitar even easier. Websites like ultimate-guitar.com and ultimate-tabs.com have a large database of tabs (simplified forms of musical notation) that tell you how to play different songs on the guitar. For extra help, there are also plenty of video tutorials on websites like YouTube where more experienced guitar players offer tips on how to play songs from start to finish.   Guitar tabs are an easier way to read chords if you can’t read traditional sheet music. Tabs use 6 horizontal lines to represent the guitar strings and numbers on those lines to indicate which frets you need to press down to play the chord.

Whatever goal you set, make sure it’s specific and achievable. Your goal should also be measurable so that you know when you’ve achieved it. For example, if your goal is to learn 2 new chords, you can easily judge whether or not you’ve learned 2 new chords after 7 days. However, if you set a goal like “practice new chords,” it’s harder to tell whether you’ve actually achieved this goal by the end of the week.

summary: Create a daily practice schedule and stick to it. Use music books to learn new chords and techniques. Visit music websites to find tabs and tutorials for songs. Set a realistic goal to achieve with your practicing each week.

Check the level of your cat’s water bowl at the start of each day. See if your cat has started to drink more water on a daily basis. You can also tell if your cat’s water intake has increased by watching to see if you are cleaning out more wet litter than normal. Most cats are very efficient at processing water and don’t require very much of it, so increased urinating and drinking can be a sign of kidney problems.  When a cat has kidney disease, they lose more water when they urinate, so they need to drink more water to compensate. This is because the kidneys struggle to concentrate urine and conserve water in the blood. Cats who eat wet food will need even less water than cats who eat dry food. They will get some of their water directly out of the wet food. That’s one reason why wet food is generally best if you suspect kidney issues. If your cat refuses to eat, it’s possible that it is trying to avoid stomach pain. Uremia is a painful inflammation of the stomach that can result from kidney issues. A cat suffering from uremia will likely have a reduced appetite and may even vomit blood if ulcers have developed. Uremia develops, in part, because the kidneys no longer efficiently remove toxins from your cat’s blood. If your cat has developed sore gums or ulcers due to kidney issues, then it will likely not want to clean its fur. Your cat might even stopping grooming itself entirely. As a result, your cat’s fur may look dull or unclean in appearance. Most cats love to sleep. So, the important thing here is to notice if your cat sleeps more than normal or lacks interest in games that it previously enjoyed. If your cat lacks energy, it’s possible that it has developed anemia or has low potassium levels due to kidney problems. The buildup of waste may also make your cat feel unwell.  A diseased kidney can contribute to blood problems by no longer supporting the regeneration of blood cells in your cat’s body, being unable to conserve electrolytes like potassium, and being unable to remove toxic waste from the body. Another sign of kidney-related anemia is if your cat’s eyelids are dull or white in color instead of a healthy pink.

summary: Monitor your cat’s drinking habits. Watch for vomit or disinterest in food. Notice if your cat’s fur is matted or unpleasant smelling. Take note if your cat seems consistently lethargic.

Maybe you’re both into hiking or you’re both into amusement parks, or maybe one of you likes the beach and the other prefers the mountains. Find someplace that has something for both of you, especially if your tastes differ. It can be a sweet gesture to choose the destination that your new spouse loves, but if there’s nothing there to interest you, it will be far less fun for both of you. No matter how blissful you might be feeling, it’s hard to enjoy a vacation if the weather has you miserable, the lack of things to do is boring you out of your mind, or the tourist crowds are unbearable.  Assess the weather. If you’re getting married in a month of extreme heat or cold, you may want to find someplace more temperate to party. Check climate data websites to see what the average temperature is for the time of year you plan to visit.  Travel during Shoulder Season—the period of time between peak and non-peak tourism dates. You might save quite a few pennies by coming in just after the high demand has gone, and not only will the pace be more laid back and enjoyable for you, you might find the locals friendlier and more welcoming when you’re not part of a mob of tourists.  Delay your trip. Consider putting off your honeymoon for a few months if you’re getting married during your dream destination’s off season. This could have the side benefit of giving you more time to save. If you’re traveling in low season, or even Shoulder Season, some tourist destinations may have limited hours, or be closed altogether. The last thing you want to do is show up to a shut-down town. Consult the websites of the attractions you wish to visit to find a listing of their hours during your travel dates.
summary: Find a place you both love. Consider the season. Check attraction availability and hours.
