Saturday Morning Date
I express gratitude for all that enters my space — whether it brings me:
- happiness or sadness;
- order or turmoil;
- panic or serenity.
Because, I believe everything is in accordance with God’s Plan.
Today, I am grateful for yesterday; and, the early Saturday morning outing with Hubby.
Our Saturday Morning Date begins with a stop at Panera’s Bread:
Our order is the same week-after-week — decaf coffee and a cheese bagel. The bagel (33 carbs/330 calories) is our weekly treat. While, it violates the healthy eating low-carb, low-cal diet plan that we follow during the week; we, make this choice without guilt. After all, we could have had:
When we finish breakfast, it’s off to the Neighborhood Y to fulfill the last of our four-day per week exercise program commitment:
We arrived when the doors opened at 8:00 a.m.; and, surprise our Friendly Greeter, who normally welcomes us with a beautiful smile at 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, was staffing the Front Desk.
All checked in and ready to workout. My first stop is 20 minutes on the Pre-Cor, followed by circuit weights, and ending with 20 minutes on the stationary bike.
Hubby deviated a bit from his normal workout, which includes 20 minutes on the bike. Instead, he did 20 minutes on the treadmill; and, then allowed the extra time for weights — circuit and free.
After our workout, we chose to relax and rest for the rest of the day. He watched football; and, I wrote the first draft of my weekly Monday morning post.
I am grateful for my wonderful Saturday Morning Date with Hubby. Though some may see this as an ordinary Saturday morning; for me, it was an extra-ordinary morning. Even after almost fifty-five years of marriage to my teenage sweetheart, I treasure every moment spent with him.

dear Yvonne,
I truly celebrate the love and happiness you and your Hubby share in a marriage filled with such gratitude for each other. I had that same still-gaga-over-each- other for nearly 46 years; it’s so lovely knowing you both appreciate the delights of being together, whether it’s days like a Saturday date time, or the sacred contentment of ordinary days.
much love,
Karen XOXO

Sounds like a fun and healthy date to me! I would have snagged a couple of those cute pumpkin cookies for later though.

Thank you for your comments. I didn’t grab a “goodie” on that day. But, I must admit there are times when a bagel didn’t meet the needs of my taste buds.
