Yes, I am so very fortunate to have the time now to sort through my emotions and forge a new course as my birdies leave the nest and mama bird flies more solo again too. And while I'm sad as the intensive child-rearing ends, it is still a very fun & exciting time with my boys. I still love every minute with them, our now more grown-up conversations and the activities we can do together. And I'm excited to try new things, go new places, meet new people and spend more time with those already in my life. As they say, as one door closes another opens. I'm happy too to finally have the time to get to those projects that being a mommy took priority over -- cleaning out & organizing closets and cabinets, photos, filing & paperwork, house updates, etc. While none of those will give me the joy that my boys did, it will feel good to get to those to-do's that never got to-done. And, yes, I'm also looking forward to having more time to read and reflect, take care of me and do as my little heart desires.
For now, enough of what my future holds, today I've been to early workout and am on to book work and errands this afternoon. But first, 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 through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal, stay curious & express my way. I've so grateful for each of terrific you, my family & IRL friends, what lies ahead and having the health & wealth to live this life I love today! xoxox
