Yesterday (the 1-year anniversary of FIL's passing) went as well as could be expected. DH went to early mass with MIL & I met her for dinner. Then to continue our "tag team" approach... I "tagged" my son who took her call (I'd asked her to call us when she got home) last night.
I'm not sure if it was something I ate at dinner or my mind already planning what to pack for our long weekend on Block Island -- we leave tomo :), but I didn't sleep well again last night. So, I'll have to be especially aware again today that feeling tired can disguise itself as hunger in my mind & body. Luckily, I have a low-key day. My tennis match was canceled, so I'll spin this morning & then pack for the trip this afternoon. I'm really excited about the trip as I've never been there before & have heard so many great things about the island.
DH wasn't in the best mood this morning before he left for work -- maybe still feeling the emotion/stress of yesterday and/or he didn't sleep well either. So, hoping he gets over it before tomo! It turns out he can't be away from work both Fri & Mon, so he's talking about coming back Sun & when I interjected my opinion, he started ranting that I never let him finish... blah, blah, blah. I wanted to say that maybe he shouldn't take Fri off either - LOL - but just let him rant. Luckily he did so as he headed out the door to work. MEN!?!
We're going to BI with our neighbors who will be there Thurs-Sun and have some other friends who arrive there on Sun. My youngest son can't take time from work, but will come with a friend for Sat & Sun. The weather looks pretty good, but there is some chance of rain. Wanna do a sunshine/don't rain dance with me?
But, before I start my packing day, I'll pray --
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 on this one day and each one meal, moment, bite & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal & express my way through being especially alert for my tiredness making me think I'm hungry. And, I'll remember how grateful I am for all of you, my family & other friends and my upcoming trip. xoxox
