And the beat goes on, as I return to the routine I love, settling back in at home. Even with the backlog of bookkeeping and household chores, it's good to be home, especially knowing it's only a week before I head with DH to see DS in SC:). So, catching up before I leave and get behind again is the plan for the day, along with a workout & manicure.
I had a great call with my health coach, again recapping the many successes of the past trip and planning for the next, and discussing my plans for mom's future. She, too, agreed thats its best to keep mom where she is for now as she's still thriving there so well. Her DH works & writes about the elderly, including dementia and Alzheimer's patients. He too reinforced that conclusion I'd come to. As he said, whenever I move mom, it will be a huge upheaval to her regardless of her capabilities at the time, and to do so now while she still functions with some independence, could take away the remaining awareness and sociableness that she has.
So, off I go now to that workout, 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 I'll pray, breathe, log, journal, stay curious and express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so very grateful for each of wonderful you, my family & IRL friends, more beautiful weather in the northeast, hot bulletproof coffee, manicures, early workouts and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
