DEAR ABBY: The letter
from "Heartbroken in Ore-
gon." the man who is in the
middle of a divorce and whose
wife now wants to move their
daughter out of state, really
hit home. In the beginning,
our divorce was far from
friendly. However, we finally
got over our anger and got
back to the business of raising
our two beautiful children. We
now have a 50-50 custody
arrangement, and our son
and daughter are happy and
well-adjusted.
Last year 1 was offered the
Job of a lifetime. It meant more
money, more prestige and
tremendous potential for ad-
vancement. It also meant
moving thousands of miles
away from my family.
My career has always been
important to me and this offer
was quite a prize. My ex-wife

In the year ahead, try to as-
sociate yourself with bold, en-
terprising individuals. Their
enthusiasm will be conta-
gious, and you'll find yourself
going after bigger and bigger
fish.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your tolerance for outsiders
will be up to its usual stan-
dards today, but you may not
show the same consideration
to family members. Keep your
priorities in proper order.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Rely on logic and reason
today, instead of intuition and
hunches. What you sense
may be a departure from real-
ity.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 Nov.

Be positive and optimistic
today, but don't build your
hopes on faulty premises. If
your base is weak, your house
of cards will crumble.

and I discussed the situation
at length. We explored all pos-
sible options, but focused al-
ways on our main objective --
the best interests of the chil-
dren. Ultimately, we decided
that it would be best for me to
turn down the job and remain
in California. My ex-wife
couldn't afford to relocate,
and she and I agreed that the
children still need both of us
around on a full-time basis.
Obviously, this was a huge
sacrifice on my part, but one I
gladly made.
Your response to "Heart-
broken" was appropriate
when you advised him to con-
sider moving closer to Florida
to be near his daughter. I take
