I think my husband and I tend to measure success by some yard stick in our minds rather than by what we truly have accomplished. We never hit the mark we set for ourselves and that leaves us feeling discouraged. But every now and then, something makes me re-evaluate...
Thursday evening my husband went to dinner with a client. There were eight people, and all were asked to tell a little about themselves. My husband loves using this time to shock everyone, "...and, I have SEVEN kids...". The man sitting next to him, who is single and a doctor turned to him and asked, "Are you moonlighting? Do you have another job? How do you afford so many children?"
Thank you, doctor! That is all I needed to hear. You made my day! You gave my job and the difficulty of keeping our budget from unraveling the validation I needed. Today I will remember the doctors words and, with a smile on my face, I will enjoy our frugal living.
