Up early & off to early tabata spin class this morning. Thanks again for the love & support yesterday -- I truly do not know what I'd do without you all! You make every blue mood go away & always bring a smile back to my face! I realize even more & so appreciate how blessed I am to have each of you, plus a life I love including love & support here at home too.
My friend's family is all rallying around her niece as she begins intense treatment again. It's just so sad to see someone so young go through what she has.
And, we're looking at other options for my oldest. I may not have to say goodbye to him again anytime soon -- a mixed blessing, for as much as I love having him home, it'd be the closing of a door filled with many dreams & past wonderful memories. But, as was wisely pointed out to me, one door closing can be the opening of another possibly even more exciting & fulfilling. He's always been the more difficult to parent, but reminds me a lot of me, so I've also always understood. And, it's been obvious for awhile, that he was not truly passionate about the computer & electrical engineering major he was pursuing. The problem has been he couldn't identify another direction that he wanted to pursue more. So, maybe this will force him to think more about it, instead of continuing on the path of least resistance.
I'm doing well as we start the weekend. I had some blips on the healthy eating road earlier in the week. Having the boys around & all the extra food in the house, food prep, etc. is an adjustment, but I'm taking it one day at a time & will continue to focus on that for now. I'm reading an interesting book called "Brain over Binge" which I will journal about soon, when I have more time.
But speaking of time, I must get ready to spin & before I do, 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 pray, breathe, journal & express remembering to be grateful for each of you, my family & other friends and this life I love even with its bumps in the road. xoxox
