Ruhu's Journal, 26 April 2013

The power of gratitude & journaling!... It certainly turned my day around yesterday! I had woken up feeling overwhelmed & frazzled by all I had to do before I leave again on Sunday, but after journaling about it & reminding myself of all that I have to be grateful for, my entire day changed. And, I got much more done than I'd ever thought I would. (I'm realizing that I tend to think chores will take longer than they usually do!)

So, today I can start to plan & pack for my trip to move out my younger son & then go with him to see my Mom where DH & my older son will meet us. I'm getting so excited to see my boys;)! The younger will then be home for the summer (he has an internship in NYC) & the older will go back to school after a week home for a 6-week intensive summer course & then be home for 2-4 weeks depending on how much time he can get off from his job down there.

So, as my excitement grows, I'll start my day in prayer & remember all the blessings in my life --

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

And, I'll continue to pray, breathe, log, post & express again throughout this one day, meal, moment, bite and emotion at a time. TGIF! xoxox

Ruhu enjoy spending time with your kids. This is the most precious time. My adult sons are grown up and out of the house. I miss not being able to spend more time with them. I love being a mom. Have fun!!

That is so exciting you will be getting to spend the extra time with one of your boys when he moves back. I love that you get to spend so much time with them.

Ruhu, Thank you for "friending" me. Your posts are so enjoyable and helpful to read. I have a 22 year old son who plans to stay with me in the fall during the interim time between release from the Navy and starting college. I'm very much looking forward to that, expecially since I lost my husband last fall (not his dad).
