TGISaturday and Operation Long Weekend Overhaul is in full force as I'm determined to eat & live healthfully and mindfully. DH and I are off to play tennis this morning -- it's another beautiful day in the northeast -- and going into NYC with good friends to see the broadway show, Beautiful, about the life of Carole King. I'm really excited to see it as I've heard great things and loved her music growing up. I'm hoping it "makes the earth move under my feet"!
My stomach issues are definitely lessening and I'm really trying to eat smaller, more frequent meals and avoid all dairy, not just lactose free, as well as gluten and sugar. i continue to focus on whole foods, protein, veggies and healthy fats.
Tomorrow, DS is playing his guitar with a friend at a local restaurant/bar. He played once before, but I was traveling and missed it live and have only seen it recorded, so I'm really excited to hear them live. And, Monday, we'll take MIL out to dinner. I also have book work to get to to fill in the gaps. BIL was re-admitted to a private psychiatric hospital as he continues to battle depression, so DH and I will go to see him, probably on Monday too.
But, back to this one day, which I'll start in prayer --
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 & emotion. I'm so grateful for each of fabulous you, my family & IRL friends, my focus on filling the long weekend ahead with fun and healthy eating & living, more beautiful weather and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
