Ruhu's Journal, 15 April 2013

Good news/Bad news -- Well, the good news is that my partner & I won our tennis match yesterday & my tennis team clinched our spot in the local tournament in August. The bad news is that I celebrated a bit too much & ate more than I needed mindlessly. But the I stayed my course away from gluten, lactose & sugar, and feel good this morning & ready to get back on track eating healthfully & mindfully.

I have a couple more trips coming up, so am starting to plan & get ready for them. On Thurs, my DH & I take my MIL to Rome. My FIL passed away last summer, so as a birthday gift to her, we're taking my very devoutly Catholic MIL to Rome & especially to see the Vatican. They have a family friend who is a priest at the Vatican and has set up a couple of special tours for us, so we are all very excited! So I'll pack some healthy snacks, plan as much as I can and focus on eating mindfully, while allowing myself to truly enjoy the trip.

Then, later this month, I go to move my baby back from college & all 4 of us will go to see my Mom for a long weekend. So, I have a busy couple of weeks ahead, but will start each day as I do today --


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 will pray, breathe, log, post & express on this one day, meal, moment, bite and emotion at a time. xoxox

A trip to Rome? Wow! That will be fabulous/fantastic/awesome!!!! But all that good food! Oh my. I think you have the right attitude though. Life is for living, who knows when you will get to Rome again. So enjoy all the fabulous food without guilt but also without going cuckoo. I am sure you can taste and enjoy without going overboard, but it will not be 'easy'. And to get a tour of the Vatican! Oh wow, oh WOW. And congrats on winning the tennis tournament. happy you feel good today, and now back on track. Have a serene day my friend :) (and thanks for your support, I left a wee comment on my Sunday journal for you, basically saying thank you and that you touched my heart :)

Awwee if you'd told me Rome was in the plans I'd have starved myself to stow away in the luggage! I just KNOW I lived there in a previous life. Yay you on the tennis and you could have just been hungry at the victory dinner as you seem to have eaten with attention. Have a wonderful day Angel.

Rome -- Wow That is great.... Pasta, Pasta, Pasta -- Everywhere. At least that's what my in-laws said when they got back. Never been myself but it is on my bucket list. Have a great day and don't beat yourself up over yesterday. We are all entitled to celebrate. -J
