I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed both parties last night and as I predicted, I was just reaching small talk overload when it was time to go to the next and then leave that party for home. I am tired and sluggish though this morning, so will be on high alert for the fatigue trying to convince me it's hunger. I did have to chuckle to myself as we entered the second party which was a costume Halloween party (the first was a more dressy 50th birthday party) that our costumes were DH as a Party Animal and me as the Party Pooper!
Luckily today I have a low-key day with some book work and the hope to begin the de-cluttering of my closet. But, I'll be sure to nap as much and as often as I'd like, and take it as slow as needed. DH is off to Japan for the week and leaves tomorrow, then I go to see my Mom and attend my good friend's son's wedding in Cincy on Thurs. We're having dinner out tonight with DS before the traveling begins. And I'm off to zumba shortly if I can get my tired self up and moving! But first, I'll start on day 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 through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought and emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal, stay curious and express my way. I'm so grateful for each of wonderful you, my family & IRL friends, having fun at parties even as exhausting as they can be, another opportunity to recognize fatigue for what it is and what it's needing from me, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love. xoxox
P.S. In my Angel's style, here are 2 quotes that I read this morning that really spoke to me... maybe they will to you too!
Moving forward away from your comfort zone may feel temporarily uncomfortable, but it feels a lot better than standing still in a place that no longer suits you.
"A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch but on her own wings. Always believe in yourself." ~unknown
