This is my husband. He would HATE it that his picture is on my blog or that I’m talking about him (though he’s very supportive of my blogging efforts – treating me to lobster tail dinners when I hit landmarks on numbers of subscribers.)
I told you earlier that I was able to shed a size in my jeans, and that it felt good that it was something TANGIBLE in my efforts to get the lard off. I told my husband, of course, feeling really encouraged.
When we were going through the day’s mail later, standing by the dining area table, all of a sudden he looked over at me and said, “You ARE looking slimmer.”
If you knew my husband, you would know that this is rare, indeed. I could shave my head, or change the color to blue and orange stripes and he wouldn’t notice. He’s a wonderful guy, but he’s not very observant. Plus, living together and seeing each other every day makes it less noticeable when there are changes. And, to be fair, he says “he loves me no matter what size I am,” – but NOT something I want to hear NOW…
To have him say this quiet statement this morning made my day.

They really haven’t a clue how little it takes to make us happy, do they? It’s those little moments that make all the difference in a marriage. I think he’s probably earned a special breakfast tomorrow morning 🙂

I couldn’t agree more, Carol. One compliment makes me walk about an inch above the ground for days. I see lots of goodies in his future… :0)

It’s wonderful to hear from you, Stephie. I went from my dad, who would say, ‘Nice skirt!” when he meant it was too short – to my husband who compliments very, very rarely. Thanks very much for the encouragement. Numbers at the doc’s were good today, too!
