I am awed, inspired, and beyond appreciative for all the love & support bestowed upon me yesterday in my journal. I just can't thank you all enough nor tell you what it's meant to me. As I venture on this new journey diving deeper into the relationship with my DH, it means so much to again have you cheering me on along the way. Just as my journey to healthy living & eating is unique to me as I experiment along that study of one, I realize that my relationship journey with my DH is in its own way our study of two. While our relationship with its history of almost 30 years (25 married & 4 dating before that) is also unique, sharing your experiences in similar & not so similar situations is invaluable and it means so much to me. I wish there were more I could do or say to express my appreciation!
Yesterday was a good day even though the eating part was not as mindful as I'd have liked. But I can use my mindfulness now to look at what worked, what didn't & what I can learn from it all. It started off well except for the 2 nights in a row of very little sleep -- I know fatigue is a trigger for me. Although I tried to get in a nap, it just couldn't make up for the little rest over the past 2 nights. As I'd mentioned, we were taking MIL & her friend to the matinee but the first movie theater (a large, multiple showing complex) was closed as they had too much snow on there roof & wouldn't open for safety reason until it'd been raked. While I can't complain that they were being safe rather than sorry, it caused us to scramble to find another showing nearby. We did but it delayed us & ruined our plans for lunch beforehand. This started the less than mindful snacking that also is a red flag for me, especially on Sunday, my transition day. From there, I was rushed to get into work & do what I wanted/needed to get done so I wouldn't have to go back up today and get to 5:15 mass on time. Afterwards when I was finally home & could sit down to dinner, I was too hungry, ate too fast & too much. But that was yesterday, so for my next weekend opportunity, I'll plan for the unexpected if I'm going to be out so much of the day, and if I find myself again over-tired, I'll try to cut back to give myself ample time to deal with/work through the fatigue. On my Transition Sundays, I really need my A game, and if its not there for any reason, I need to adjust accordingly. I'm sure the added stress/concern over DH issues added to it all.
But today is a new day (a low key one with DH off skiing with the guys & all thats on my calendar is my appointment with my therapist this afternoon) 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.
I'm so grateful for each of Nurturing you, my family & IRL friends, a low-key day & having the health and wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
