That's it! I cannot do it alone! I need & miss you all too much! So, I'm back and determined to journal here again daily, even if its short & sweet (or not so sweet… or not so short!) as I need it for my own personal mental health. I've slowly gotten away from the things that keep me on my healthy eating & living roadway, and it's time to get back on the right track. So, it's again for me Day 1 gluten, lactose & added sugar free, eaten mindfully with intention & attention.
Life has been busy and it will be for the next month still. I got back this past Weds from securing an apartment with DS who is moving to Greenville, SC. We leave for a weeklong vacation with DH's 2 sisters & their families on Sat. Then, after DS's graduation party on 7/25, he and DH drive his car to SC so he can start work on 7/28. His apartment doesn't become available until 8/4, so I fly down to help him furnish & stock it and return on 8/7. Then, life gets back to normal, after the letdown of his going. My other son will still be here at home as he continues working & finishing his degree, which both are going really well. Mom is hanging in there and her mixing up of days & nights seem to be much better after getting her a large, visible digital clock and her doctor changing some of her meds. And, DH & I are doing well and doing our best to stay connected and make "us time" too.
Having filed you in on what you're in for if you join me on the ride, it's back to one day at a time, which even though it's midday, I'll get onto 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 remember again to pray, breathe, journal, and express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I am so, so, so grateful for each of you, my family & IRL friends, our special and safe place here which returning too means so much to me, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love… busyness and all! xoxox
