Sometimes, change is a good thing.
Funny story. . when I began Meatless Mondays or cutting back on the beef here at the house, I didn’t tell my husband. I wrote it here on the blog. After a few weeks, he asked what was going on and then he began reading my blog. And now, fast forward several months, the Husband is doing fine. He actually got a check-up/physical a couple months ago and is doing great health-wise. He doesn’t complain as much anymore when he sees mushrooms or eggplant instead of beef or chicken.
And tonight, he ate these very quickly and told me how good they were. *Insert proud, happy wife.*
Now, don’t get me wrong. This does not mean he would reach for a veggie burger now instead of a big, fat, juicy burger with a big slab of meat. He still loves his meat, we’re just cutting back a little. And getting to know our vegetables more.
“So, change is usually a good thing.”
I’m trying to remember this as we embark on a new journey for our family. It looks like we will have to move from this new home of ours. Do I want to leave Seattle? No. But like my daughter says, “You can’t always get what you want.” This is usually something she says to her younger sister, Madeline. We are at the mercy of my husband’s job. Where to? Well, we are not completely sure yet. We are trusting and waiting. But, we do have options so we are very thankful.
There will definitely be a post when we know for sure.
Just like everyone else, the thought of change brings on uncertainty, worry, anxiety, stress and for me, the ultimate list maker, pages and pages of a list of things I will have to do or think about once we know.
But until that moment arrives, I’m going to enjoy the present. The here and now. And these freaking fantastic Eggplant and Arugula Pesto Sliders. If you are an eggplant lover, you must also check out my
