Happy Saturday!
It'l be an especially happy day for my Mom as she moves back to her apartment from rehab today. She will now be at a higher level of care, but I'll feel better knowing she's being given her meds rather than having to remember to do so on her own, and checked on & helped as needed and much more regularly. She's also being evaluated by her long-term care insurance's nurse as part of the claim process to see if they will start paying for the cost or some portion of it.
I'm feeling good as I enter the weekend and start Day 6 NSNGng. Even though I was home alone for a good part of the evening last night -- DH didn't get home until after 9 after being in upstate NY for the day and DS was out with GF -- and I had moments of debating if I was hungry and wanted to eat, I was able to pause and work through it concluding that I was just a bit bored and while I never mind being home alone at night during the week, there's something about he weekend that feels better to be with others… of course, as long as it doesn't involve too much socializing.
I'm off to spin class shortly, errands & then a look-see if I have in my closet what I need for my trip. If not, there may be some shopping this afternoon before mass at 5:15 and dinner with friends after. We're out to dinner with 2 couples -- one whom I love & one whom i mostly enjoy. We haven't seem either in awhile, so it'll be nice, I'm sure. I'll focus on eating mindfully, and in the wise words of my Angel, if the conversation proves less than I'd like, it'll give me even more time to focus on mindfulness! Sometimes I actually prefer the guys conversation, so I know that's an option too!
I'm feeling really good these days, easily staying my course, ready for the opportunity to use my mindfulness tools over the weekend, & so excited to see my boy and celebrate his college graduation, so on I'll go starting my day 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 pray, breathe, log, journal and express my way throughout this one day, and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so very grateful for each of spectacular you, my family & IRL friends, another weekend to enjoy and practice living & eating mindfully, seeing my boy in 3 days and my Mom in 7 days, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
