Up early & already back from a jog as I head into the City to meet my son, SIL & niece for lunch & then the Jimmy Fallon show! So excited for the day ahead!
But again frustrated already this morning with DH. Yes, I'm too obsessed with getting in a daily workout...BUT! Thinking I needed to drive DS to train station so we wouldn't have 2 cars there (DH should have heard me talking about it), I got up early (5 am) to go for a jog, even though I'd have much rather gone to spinning class a little later (still 6 am!). Then I get back from my run to have DH tell me that he needs to be in the City today for a meeting & he could drive DS. I replied that it would have been nice to know that as I would have gone to my class instead. He didn't respond, so I slammed a few doors, took some deep breaths & now journaling about it... and I feel better already & again just excited for the day!
I feel bad complaining here about my DH so much -- he really is a good guy in so many ways. But, he does frustrate me as he doesn't like to plan things ahead of time & thinks nothing of changing plans last minute. He's very spontaneous & I'm realizing more and more that I am not. I like a plan & to stick to it, or change it with enough advance notice. I know he's always very busy at work & doesn't have a regular schedule there. His hours fluctuate depending on what/how many deals they are working on. Most days he leaves for work about 7 am & gets home around 8 pm. Last night, he was home at 5... again unbeknownst to be that he'd be early... this bugs me too. Of course, I could speak up about it more, but I do love the freedom it gives me as I never feel the need to let him know my schedule/plans. Still, it gets to me at times & unfortunately for you... here I am venting again, but boy, do I feel better already!
So, before I start my fun-filled 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.
Getting up so early & already working out gives me time to meditate before I hit the shower, so that's another good thing! And as I do, I'll remember to pray, breathe, journal & express over this one day and each one meal, moment, bite & emotion at a time. Also remembering to be grateful for the wonderful day ahead, all of you my FS friends, my family (even DH as frustrating as he can be) & other friends, and this life I love! xoxox
