DS's graduation/going away party was a huge success, and such fun! I'm so thrilled and have many, many great memories from it, especially of him with friends, many of whom he's know since elementary or middle school. He's been especially close with 3 guys who gave him their own specially made gift of who he is/has been, i.e. the chicken nuggets he's loved since childhood, chocolate milk (his drink), guitar strings, tennis balls, engineering tools, etc, plus a cute children's book about liking you just the way you are. And, they spoke of their longterm friendship and the many good times at our pool, lake cottage etc. It was hard seeing him say goodbye to them & then when he returned obviously teary eyed after taking his GF to the train.
Even though I fly down on Fri to help him move into his new apartment, watching him & DH pull away in the his car yesterday was really tough as it hit me that he may never truly live here again. While I'm thrilled that he has a great job and big, new life ahead, I'll miss him so, so much. And I pray that he again makes such good friends & finds happiness in SC.
Yesterday, I choose to eat my feelings -- it was just too hard & the call of sugar was just too loud & nonstop. But, today, is a new day and a new chance to find better ways to deal with the feelings, such as journaling here, mediating, breathing, distraction, and prayer, which I'll do now before I start my day of zumba, groceries, book work and taking time for me --
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, journal, log & express my way through this one day, and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so very grateful for each of wonderful you, our special & supportive place here, my family & IRL friends, a fun-filled party where many wonderful memories were made, having the tools & support to get me through the sadness of saying goodbye and the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
