Perspective

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.
