Putting things in perspective

Twice in the past week I have put on my blacks and headed off to funerals. Both for parents of my current/former students. One was a father, one a mother. Both under 50. Both deaths were unexpected and leave the kids behind in a far far different world than the one we were in when school got out before Christmas.

No matter how swirly my marriage is...no matter how much of a mess I've made of my finances, my physical shape and my mental shape, I can't match what they are going through.

It certainly makes me appreciate the reason why I am trying to improve my finances, health and body... to be a better mother for my boys. It reminds me even more to make sure, during this coming year, I actively work to spend quality time with my boys.

Food for thought. calorie and fat free.
