Quick check-in to say that contrary to how the song goes... rainy days and Mondays don't always get me down! Especially when they follow a wonderful, fun-filled weekend as I just had... out with DH on for a date night dinner and then family dinner out on Sunday, and no overeating all weekend long! Both DS's are home for the holiday, so the fun, love and hugs have begun. And the stress of past holiday prep is subsiding to the realization that it's not about the food, or at least won't be at my house... it's about family, friends and all we have to be thankful for... one of which is all you here on FS who have been so loving, caring & supportive of me!
I'm off to paddle tennis this morning (post-rain and pre-winter storm in the northeast), manicure this afternoon, and turkey day prep in between. 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, journal, stay curious and express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought and emotion. I'm so grateful for each of you, my family & IRL friends, holidays to celebrate and enjoy, my family all together and to be joined by extended family & friends for the celebration, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
