Gerry, We will say a prayer for your daughter. MS is so devistating. I feel your concern.

You're husband is a winner...........and a keeper I'd say.

I fix 2 different meals in this household. It doesn't bother me. Just because I HAVE to eat a certain way doesn't mean he has too also if he doesn't want to. I believe in treating your spouse like they are company. Besides, in return I get spoiled rotten. How nice is that? Most couples find what works for them. I got an email yesterday that spells out why we should be grateful. It's titled you are so blessed. I just thought I'd share it.

Here it is:

If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won't survive the week.

If you have never experienced
the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof over
your head and a place to sleep,
you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank,
in your wallet, and spare change
in a dish someplace, you are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If you hold up your head with a smile
on your face and are truly thankful,
you are blessed because the majority can,
but most do not.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug them
or even touch them on the shoulder,
you are blessed because you can
offer your own special healing touch.

If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.

You are so blessed in ways
you may never even know.
