Ruhu's Journal, 24 October 2014

Another weekend of opportunity, which I'm looking at that way (thanks Angel for all the reminders to stay positive!) to especially stay curious about the whens of my wanting to overeat in hopes of it shedding light on the whys, and leading to the what I can do about it!

Today I have lunch with the outdoor tennis girls that I like, but in small doses. I haven't seen much of them, so I'm looking forward to it! And, DH and I have a black tie charity dinner dance tomorrow night. I phoned ahead with my special dinner request (gluten & dairy free) and am hoping DH and I can compromise if I want to leave before he's ready. It goes til midnight, which is later that I usually prefer, but I'm keeping an open mind as the dancing reduces the amount of the endless small talk that can eventually get to me. And, no other plans for the weekend, other than having my hair done for the occasion on Sat afternoon, so I can take care of me. I'm realizing though that I need to figure out how best to do that for me.

Now I'm off to spin class shortly, but will first 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, stay curious, log, journal & express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so grateful for each of tremendous you, my family & IRL friends, another weekend to appreciate & explore, a focus on just staying curious, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

Wow - we are so connected; the mere mention of 'endless small talk' set my stomach to churning and I just wanted to drag us both out on the dance floor. We'll have the first highway with music in history, hmm?

Hi Hope you have a wonderful day. Glad all is well. Enjoy your lunch and thanks for stopping by my journal. I am at the hospital now and going to go in for our 15 minute visit. Hope to check back here again soon.

I hope your charity event went okay. I always dread social situations with GoodMan. He is MUCH more social than I and for years I would get VERY stressed at just the thought of spending an evening with "endless small talk." About 10 years ago it got so bad I withdrew from social situations almost entirely. After a while (a couple of years) I got to the point where I felt I could go out again, but I always have a back-up plan. I take my own car or have a spare set of keys to his car, or money for a taxi, and excuse myself with a "headache" or an "early appointment tomorrow". When I do that GoodMan knows I've reached my limit and I give him permission to stay without me. It was awkward at first, but the system works for us. I think the key for me was learning my introvert-ness is every bit as valid a personality trait as his extrovert-ness, so making arrangements for me to come home (or back to the hotel room) is as valid as making arrangements to go out.

Did you burn up the dance floor? Great exercise and when you have fun people around the laughter will lift any moods you may have been in. Stay positive and keep a smile in your heart and on your face.
