TGIF! I tend to save quotes that really speak to me in my "notes" on my electronics. I was re-reading them last night, and came upon this -- "The secret to change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." How appropriate for me at this stage in my healthy eating & living journey as I embark upon another weekend opportunity to eat & live more healthfully and mindfully. And, that's exactly my plan, to build new healthier, happier habits in place of the emotional eating of my past.
Ready to join me on the ride? One day at a time, and this one day includes tennis a little later (indoors starts again today, which while I love to play outside in the nice weather, today's humidity makes it a pleasure to go back inside) and a mani/pedi this afternoon. No plans tonight, but a busier weekend ahead with DH's sister coming tomorrow for the night. She wants to visit BIL who is hospitalized in treatment for depression. DH has a memorial service for a childhood friend tomorrow afternoon then golf and we're joining him and 2 other couples for dinner after. One of the other wives, one of my dearest IRL friends, and I will hang out while the guys golf then go to mass before dinner. On Sunday morning, we're biking with these same great friends and may take DH's cousin's son out to dinner. He just started college in our town and away from his home in upstate NY (3-4 hours from here). So, I'll enjoy the peace and quiet tonight and gear up for the busyness to follow, knowing I have a plan and better options than eating any emotions, including fatigue, that may arise. And as always, one of those options is to pray, which I'll do now --
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 of this one weekend of opportunity, and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal, log, stay curious & express my way. I'm so very grateful for each of awesome you, my family & IRL friends, each new day and new weekend and the opportunity it brings to progress toward health and happiness, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
