It’s All About Perspective

This husband of mine…..

Was sitting at the kitchen table...having coffee...when his blubbering bride came home...
 
What's wrong...came the concerned query...him taking in the puffy eyes and blotchy nose...

I'm just saaaaad...wailed his wife...I can't believe it's my last day of school...forever...
He didn't miss a beat...is THAT all...was the reply...I thought someone got hurt...and chuckling that old man chuckle...went back to his coveted after work coffee...

The end of a glorious career...for teacher me...was imminent...my Mr.'s...only three months away...yet our views of this day...could not have been...more different...

To this old gal…it was an end...an end to that childhood dream of being a teacher...an end to daily hugs and untied shoes and runny noses...an end to watching kids grow in confidence and skill...

An end to being needed...an end to making a difference...
 
But to him…it is a beginning...time to relax...time to explore...time to have fun...

A new perspective...the other side of the coin...

And sometimes…this husband of mine is right…it wouldn’t hurt this old gal to relax...explore...and have fun…..

And this husband of mine….agrees.
