Unintended Consequences

Unintended Consequences

I hate to admit this publicly, but I’ve lost 40 pounds in the past year.  This weight loss has had unintended consequences, the  most important of which happened yesterday.

Having lost two ring sizes, I could no longer wear my wedding band, a ring I’ve worn every day for the past 18 years.  My finger felt naked, and my soul felt like it had an empty place.  Yesterday, I went to my local jewelry store, and there it was, waiting for me, a new wedding band.  It’s very pretty and it fits perfectly, but it’s not THE wedding band.  It’s not the one that I had custom cast just for me.

So, $500 later, I’m sort of remarried.  It’s not a perfect solution, but then again, I DO love bling!
