I am happy to say that my article, Mid-life Crisis Averted, is appearing over at Catholic Exchange today.
Still, it should be noted that the troubled man looking off into space in the picture is not my husband. If anything, that guy must be "the graying executive behind the wheel of a brand new Porsche."
What is bothering him, I wonder. It's hard to say. Perhaps he just found out he can't make the payments on the Porsche.
Maybe that's how he lost his shirt.
; )
Wonderful article, and I LOL over your "maybe that's how he lost his shirt" comment. Ineresting, how they just put random photos in with articles sometimes.

Such a wonderful article, Alice! The photo does not seem to go with your piece very well...they both look deeply troubled.

Well, congratulations on another lovely article posted but apparently whoever chose the picture didn't read it?!? Perhaps you could submit a photo of you and your beloved instead? Or maybe put a pic of you two joyous souls on your blog so that when readers click on over they can see a truly happy, blessed couple.

Alice,
I'm so glad that others are getting to read that beautiful story! It made me cry again, reading it for the second or third time. I think it is my favorite piece of all the things you written here...so beautiful, so true.
Much love,
Jane
