I'll never understand why some days I'm so tired and hungry (but I do know how they go together so for me!) -- like yesterday -- and today, I'm full of energy and wasn't hungry for breaKfast until just now at 11:00... and I was up at my usual 5 am and worked out at 7 am! But, I'm glad I didn't overeat yesterday, learned the lesson from Sunday and rested when and as often as I needed to. Since Sunday, I'm back to my healthy eating & living ways, and happily & eagerly awaiting DS to return for Thanksgiving week as he comes in this this weekend. Again, this Mom couldn't be more excited to have her whole family together again!
We're having 10 for Thanksgiving dinner with 6 more joining for dessert -- which MIL is responsible for, yeah me! I've ordered my turkey (which I'll cook) and some sides (which will come pre-cooked), but will make DS's fav sweet potato casserole and a make-ahead mashed potato recipe... which far exceeds my norm for cooking these days. And now that I've caught up here, I'm off to my book work for the afternoon, but first, I'll pray --
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 through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought and emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal, stay curious and express my way. I'm so grateful for each and every one of awesome you, our safe place here, my family & IRL friends, having my family together for the entire holiday week and DH's extended family joining us for the big day, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
