Ruhu's Journal, 25 October 2013

Running to get to those 3P's today -- planning, prepping & packing -- and off to my retreat tomo :)! The timing couldn't be better as I struggled yesterday again as my fatigue masqueraded as hunger and I ate not so mindfully.

Grocery shopping this morning (gotta stock my boys for while I'm away) & then tennis at 10:30, packing this afternoon & dinner tonight with DS & new girlfriend (who I'm dying to meet)! Saw this different take on the serenity prayer that I had to share --

Lord, give me coffee to change the things I can change,
and wine to accept the things I can't!

Maybe I beter stick with the original --

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 for this one day and each one meal, moment, bite & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, post, journal & express my way. I'm so grateful today for each of you & all the support you so selflessly give, my family & IRL friends, meeting the new girl tonight, & flying off and starting my retreat tomo, all because I have the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

Busy day but you are so up for it. I like the new version of the prayer - so my style :) And I've been meaning to ask - what does IRL stand for? Enjoy your day, your evening, and your flight. Travel safe. Sorry you struggled a bit yesterday but more info to take with you to your retreat. We are all with you in spirit. I can picture you in yoga pants and t-shirt, crossed legged on a patch of land, watching the sun rise and thinking of us as you say the serenity prayer first thing of a morning while in Arizona. We will miss you but we will always be just a thought away. Hugs my sweet girl. Enjoy the heck out of this for all of us who can't go with you.

And I sooooo wish I could take you all with me -- wouldn't that be the best?!? But you'll be in my heart & I'll be in touch as much as I can.... So stay tuned! And as always, thanks so much for your support! You're each so awesome & special to me! Xoxox
