Then and Now

Sleeping in; a pot of coffee; reading the newspaper cover to cover.

Up at 630; 1 cup of coffee reheated 5 times in the microwave; glimpse at the headlines.

Reading a novel; long naps; lazy afternoons

Reading 'Snuggle Puppy'; a silent prayer for long naps; dishes & laundry; "did we have an afternoon?"

Gourmet dinners, a bottle of wine, relaxing on the couch
Spaghetti; a sippy cup of milk; cleaning gum off the couch

Independent; happily married; incomplete
Depended upon; happily married; totally fulfilled.
