And so my journey evolves --
I was already on edge yesterday as DH & I had been arguing about oldest son. It's a bit on an ongoing debate. I won't go into the long story but my boy has had his struggles -- medically (both my boys have epilepsy), emotionally & academically -- and just finished his 5th year in college with at least 2 more to get the degree he thinks he wants double majoring in electrical & computer engineering. The discussion/disagreement always goes along the line of how much do we continue to support him financially -- this time as his car was in for service & in need of more work than he could afford. Anyway, I was on edge after that, but holding it together well, enjoying our dinner out with friends when the waiter spilled a full glass of red wine in my lap. That lead to a quick departure & trip home to dry off & try to treat the massive stain on my blouse & slacks. And, emotionally inappropriately, I wanted to console myself with sugar. Luckily, (like you, J:), I was able to avoid a binge, but ate more in avoidance than I needed & definitely not mindfully. But, today, is a new day & another chance to learn from what I felt & wanted to do last night, and to steer my healthy eating roadway in the right direction. So, I'm off to zumba this morning, then mass with MIL at her church where the Notre Dame university folk choir is singing (she regularly attends church in Sandy Hook, CT at the parish where many of the school shooting victims are parishioners).
But before I go I'll start my day in prayer --
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.
Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.
And, as I recover from & reflect on last night, on this one day and through each one meal, bite & moment, I'll pray, breathe, log & post my way through, and I'll express or just sit with each emotion as they come my way. Thanks as always for your support & for always being there! xoxox
