Thanks again for all the wonderful birthday wishes! It was a great day -- took time for me, coffee with a good friend & dinner and the Hunger Games 2 with DS. I started craving sugar though as we were at the movie -- evenings can be a dangerous time for me, especially if I've been out. While I didn't succumb to the sugar, i did eat nuts & fruit, and more than I truly needed. So, I have to keep reminding myself & working toward taking that pause when the cravings arise and going to a better plan -- in that case, straight to bed with or without a cup of tea. But, back on track yesterday & feeling good again this morning… especially as I'm here, our FS home, with all of you! Even with the overeating, I'm also thrilled that I stayed my course gluten, lactose & sugar aware and am now on Day 11 not eating added sugar.
I'm behind on your journals again, but life continues to be busy & i've had theses feelings of overwhelm on & off as I have extra bookkeeping work because of year-end and am headed to go visit my Mom next week on Weds. So much to do, so little time, but I'm determined to do what I can while giving myself the time I need to take care of me -- I have gotten quite good at that! And my time for me today includes reconnecting with all of you this evening, so look for those journal comments then! I have to get my car in for maintenance this morning, then on to my workout, haircut this afternoon & birthday present shopping for DH as his birthday is the day after I get back from my Mom's.
But before i begin my 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 again through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal & express my way. I'm so grateful for each of awesome you, my family & IRL friends, temps on the decline, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love including time for me no matter how overwhelming the "to do" list feels. xoxox
