Have you ever put your life on hold for anyone

How did that work out

Oo and watermelon straight from the fridge is so delicious ! It’s hot here … but it’s welcomed after such a long winter

Yeah, I put my life on hold due to my health. Or rather, a colony of flesh-eating bacteria in the back of my neck put my life on hold. Actually, it changed my path. There is no going back as I work to recover and improve my habits to increase my health. I am changing also to satisfy nagging doctors, nurses, and parents, LOL! I never thought their pressure would sometimes influence me more than making my own rational decisions, when my gut desire is to eat poorly and be sedentary, and skip my meds.

I also found out I have diabetes, so no more watermelon. Or at least in moderation.

They damn fine people to help you change your ways for th better , in re to watermelon… how about strawberries 🍓… they they’re high in antioxidants called anthocyanins.
which help reduce insulin levels after a meal, but they have been shown to help reduce cholesterol too. They may also help improve blood sugar as well as lower the risk of heart disease for people with type 2 diabetes including other fruits people with certain diabetes have but do the research first before consuming obviously

I wish you well 🤍@JoyfulSilence

@ThreeLittleBirds

I probably should eat more fruit, despite the sugar. It is all about moderation.

Yes. When I had my son , I have to make sure I’m his primary care provider. It’s tough but it’s worth every blood, sweat and tears. (And money)

One day your baby will know exactly what you did for him , I don’t know what age that will be when he realises it but it will happen even when life becomes difficult as it does for everyone something will shift and wisdom will evolve. Best wishes on your journey together ~ keep the faith and never stop believing in yourselves 🤍@BloviatingBuffoon

Do they know your life is on hold for them?

That's a rabbit hole just like Alice in wonderland. It could be the most wonderful trip of a lifetime, or you could just simply wake up in the forest alone which doesn't sound to bad either
