Ruhu's Journal, 13 November 2014

More to be happy about today -- my baby is coming home for the weekend! He moved to SC in July to start his first job out of college, and has a last minute business trip to Scranton, PA today. So, tomo he'll drive home to CT and we'll have him for the weekend! I couldn't be more excited! Of course, we'll have to share him with his friends here & his girlfriend may come also from NYC, but I'll take any time with him I can get... and especially a big, bear hug! I love both my boys beyond words, but they each have their own way of expressing their love back. My older does so verbally and rarely a day goes by without an "I love you Mom". My younger expresses himself with the best, longest, big bearish hugs and other loving ways, and having him live far away, I've missed them so! So, I'll be sure to get my fill while he's here for the weekend, and know he'll be back in just one week for Thanksgiving! He was able to take off the whole week, so the hugs will be in plenty for the next few weeks and again when he's home from Christmas through New Years. It truly makes the holidays. which have been filled with stress at times in the past, something I'm so excited for and looking forward to.

I've been to 7am workout, and am heading up to work shortly. Then, squeezing in a mani/pedi after. So, more to be happy about! But before I get farther into my day, 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, journal, log, stay curious and express my way through this one day, meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so grateful for each of awesome you, my family & IRL friends, my boy coming home tomo, feeling and eating great, a good nights sleep, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
