Ruhu's Journal, 08 October 2014

So on this one day, I'm married (mostly very happily!) for 26 years and have been a mom (always over-the-top happily) to my eldest son for 25 years. Yes, he was born on my one-year anniversary… three weeks early. He was due on Halloween 1989, but decided to not wait that long and choose Columbus Day to take us from a couple to a family instead. We still joke with him that the jury is still out as to if he's a trick or a treat… but he's truly all treat to this Mom. We've certainly had some tougher times with him… the rebellious, too much partying, not as studious as we'd have liked years, but he's doing well now, getting good grades as he finishes a degree in computer science and working part-time at a IT consulting firm. So, it's happy, happy to us today!

I'm feeling good, and again uplifted by the love & support I'm blessed with here! And also, I'm grateful for all the blessings of my life -- a DH who truly loves me, 2 wonderful sons who I have great relationships with, loving & caring extended family, a true cyber soul sister, your love & support, several great IRL friends, 2 cuddly pets, a beautiful home and good health & enough wealth to live this life I love! Yes, the weight and eating issues get to me at times… but not today on this one day, where instead I'll celebrate love, family & happiness! xoxox

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.
