your husband is a lucky man.
A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Miami. ‘The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is terrible. Sodas corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs and chemicals in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?’
After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, ‘Wedding Cake.’
Mt. P, you need to plant your own garden. Please do things that give you joy and satisfaction. Life can be so beautiful. Going through a difficult period can seem insurmountable (sp?), but with introspection, education (self- or otherwise), and careful thought, you can have a lovely, satisfying life. Also, you have us; just run your next prospective mate past us and we’ll give you the down and dirty bottom line :).
I couldn’t have gotten through difficult periods without my friends. They are a tremendous source of strength. Just reach out—you’ll be surprised at the support you’ll receive.
