Hey LL. Just dropping in to check on you. I'm happy to hear you sounding and feeling a little better.

So many men define themselves by the work they do. In some respects I have done this in the past. It's unfortunate. So much energy ends up going into something so fleeting. Yes, it's important to provide for one's family, yet this has to be tempered with being there for the family too. It's like that saying that says, "When you die do you want your tombstone to say you did a great job at work, or that you were a great family man?" The gut reaction for most men would be the later, but their actions imply the former. I hope your H has a mindshift and realizes the truly important things in life. In some ways, I kind of think he already has...he just needs to take it a little (or a lot) further...
