Well, hi there. Yes, I know I'm still on the left (GAINED) side of the Summer Meltdown Challenge weight-loss graph, thanks for the reminder. My period is due any day and I'm sure that will be followed by a precipitous drop. For sure.
We had the Hubs' extended family here yesterday for Father's Day brunch, which was fun. For the first time in a while, it really bothered me that I couldn't eat a bagel. I really, really would have liked one.
Later, we were sitting outside and the kids were playing and my husband looked at me and said, "This is the life. Our children are healthy, we're healthy and all four of our parents are healthy. We will look back on these days as the best we ever had." He's totally right. It doesn't get better than this. That reminder put missing out on a bagel into pretty good perspective for me.
Your husband is a very wise man.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful thing to say... and he's right. I miss my Dad awful every day and especially on Father's Day. I wished I soaked up having him around when he was alive and didn't take it for granted that he would always be here. I haven't tried to eat bagels yet but they seem dense. I get stuck on most bread and soft pretzels. *Maria*
ReplyDeleteWhat a great perspective :) The top of your blog almost made me cry.....it's many of the same reasons I'm starting this journey.
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective by your hubby :)
ReplyDeleteThats so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI like the perspective attitude. Sometimes it is really hard to find it, but if you can remain in the positives, it really helps.
ReplyDeleteYour husband is a very smart/wise man! Treasure every single day you have with your children AND your parents!
ReplyDeleteI feel your bagel pain...believe me!
Your husband is the sweetest to put things in perspective like that! Still wouldn't mind a bagel flavored cracker at least. There has to be room for some compromise! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a smart man your husband is!
