My happy & healthy weekend of opportunities sets the stage well for me to travel and have many more opportunities to eat & live well while away and through the stress, emotions and transitions traveling and visiting my mom can bring. I leave tomorrow and return on Mon. I'm really excited to see my mom, aunts, cousins and friends out there. I've planned the time so that I have a nice mix of time alone with mom, time with mom and other family, time alone, time with my friends and time to take mom to her dr and meet with the staff at her assisted living facility. As mom progresses in her Alzheimer's, I'm never sure what I'll find as to mom's current state, the state of her apartment and her other needs, but I'll have my healthy and mindful toolbox with me to use as needed. And, I know I have you and your support every step of the way.
Today, I'm off to workout, then errands for the trip and back to prep the house for being away and pack. It'll be a busy time, but as I'm realizing, good busy can be a good thing for this gal. In building my healthy highway and experimenting to find the right route for me, I've realized that when I was less equipped to deal with stress and emotions (even good ones), I ate emotionally. Now that I'm better equipped, I'm happier and healthier with a balance of down time for me and social time with others, so Im learning to not fear the busyness and not automatically turn down invites and away from those who I just may enjoy and may be a good addition to my life. So, I'll again stay curious and open and do my best to continue to build new healthier and happier habits while traveling just as I'm doing at home… which means always starting 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.
I'll continue praying, breathing, logging, journaling, staying curious and expressing my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought and emotion. I'm so very grateful for each of terrific you, my family & IRL friends, this continuing opportunity for health & happiness as I travel, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love, which now includes a trip to see my mom, other family and friends back home! xoxox
