Another weekend of opportunity, a new month and a time change tonight -- could it be a good omen of good changes ahead... (the opposite of our jinx, Angel?)... I'm looking at it that way, wanna join me?!?
I'm feeling better and the nausea has left, but I'll continue to monitor it, and see if I can pinpoint any potential aggravators. Hope Halloween was all treat and no trick for all who celebrate! I, for possibly the first Halloween in awhile, had no craving for candy and instead had an extra serving of nuts which was satisfying and all I needed. This whole foods WOE staying grains, dairy & sugar aware dose really agree with me. The question is if it is easy enough to mange and maintain over the long haul. But, what I'm realizing is that staying curious through it and allowing those not so healthy for me items with awareness if I choose is the key.
DH and I are off to 2 parties tonight. I agreed to go to both and he agreed to be on the way home by 11:30... before the time change.. which I was sure we agreed on to not later get into a battle over! I'm thinking that going to both parties will at least give me more people to spread out the small talk with! I know I've journaled here about it, and was so supported as I'm not alone in my ability to only make small talk at social events for so long before I want to pull my hair out and head for the hills! Since both parties are about 30 minutes away, I didn't want to take my own car, but I did download the Uber app on my phone and checked that service was available to get me home if I reached small talk overload!
I'm off to spin class shortly, have book & house work after then mass and party time! But first, of course, 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 through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought and emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal, stay curious and express my way. I'm so very grateful for each of awesome you, my family & IRL friends, a weekend of change and the potential ahead, feeling good, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
