Yesterday was another great day, and Operation Long Weekend Overhaul is going well! I've never heard DS perform in front of others before. He's played the guitar for years and I've heard him play at home, but this is only the 3rd time he's performed. He's quite shy, but his friend, who performs much more has really brought him along and out of his shell. He even performed solo for a few songs. Can you tell I'm one proud mama this morning?!? It was another fun, special night!
DH & I also went midday to visit his brother who is now in a private psychiatric hospital as he continues to struggle with depression. He's hang in there, but seemed tired & lethargic while we were there. They'd upped some of his meds which he thinks is the cause, but he's happy with the facility and seems cautiously hopeful that they can help him. It's so sad to see him there and in this state, but we're relieved he's in a safe environment and getting help.
I'm off to a holiday 75-minute spin class -- crazy way to celebrate the holiday, I know, but I am looking forward to it. Then DH and I are taking MIL to dinner tonight. It's been a busy couple of days with much socializing, so I'm looking forward to an afternoon to myself including some book work (but only what has to be done) and time for me to do as my little heart desires. And I'm looking forward to staying on my healthy eating & living course for this last day of Operation Long Weekend Overhaul, which I'll start 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 through this last long weekend day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal, stay curious and express my way. I'm so very grateful for each of ever-supportive you, my family & IRL friends, the thrill of hearing DS perform and his growing confidence doing so, a more low-key day, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
