What Living Well Means To Me

What does living well mean to me? It took me a long time to answer this question. I guess I should start from the beginning.

I have been married for over 11 years now and worked full time for most of them in the financial industry. I was a loan officer, in a cubicle, at a desk, pushing paper all day long and putting out the best effort I could. Then my husband and I decided to have a family.

We tried for 2 years and then it happened. Our first baby arrived, a boy, Michael. Looking into his steel blue eyes I knew that I could not leave him in the hands of anybody but my own or my husband's, so I did it... I quit my job. It's been over 4 years since then and we've had another beautiful child, a girl, Lily, and I'm still adapting to life outside of a cubicle.

My life is very different now. I'm home all day enriching the lives of my children in every way I know how along with working from home and keeping all matters pertaining to our home in order. My husband works full time and takes care of keeping enough money in the checking account to pay bills, with hopefully a bit extra for some family fun.

With all this said I'll revert back to the original question, what does living well mean to me? Today it means that my children are healthy, happy and learning new things everyday, my husband is healthy, happy and able to provide for our family, my family has everything it needs and some extra's just because, and I can sleep well at night knowing everything is taken care of.
