Up early enough to be on with my coffee... just the way I like it! This truly is a great way to start the day! Today on the agenda is an early bike ride & then hanging out with the boys. Of course, there's groceries to be boughten, meals to be planned & prepared and my bookkeeping work, but I'll fit that in around spending time with them.
My biking trip to Italy is just a month away, so riding outdoors is my new priority... after the boys, of course. But, given their sleep schedules are a little different than mine, I can have that plus more done before they even wake up.
Also, have to get the car in for maintenance this a.m. I've had a few mishaps with our vehicles lately. First, I had someone open their car door into me as I was pulling into a parking spot (appt at body shop for that next week). Then, over the weekend, after driving DH's car, I thought I'd parked it but must have left it accidentally in neutral. It rolled backwards in our driveway into a tree! So, now have to get that vehicle (luckily its a company car, so goes on their insurance!) in for an estimate & repair!
But before I begin my bike riding, boy enjoying, dealing with multiple car issues 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, throughout this one day, and each one meal, moment, bite & emotion, I'll continue to pray, breathe, journal & express. Today, I'm grateful to have my boys home and my family together, for this life I love even with the minor car mishaps & inconveniences, for my health & our financial security, and all of you here on FS, my amazing & always supportive friends! xoxox
