Not sure how, but I'm still at my goal weight -- no matter how many times I tell myself that its just a # & I'm so much more than that, it still feels good!
We're organizing a family reunion for the 2nd week of July at Lake George, NY for DH's immediate & extended family. All 5 of his siblings, their families, MIL, her 2 sisters & some of his Dad's family are going. DH is the rock of the gang & while I love that about him, much of the burden falls on me. It was what I was so stressed about this past weekend as the delegating to me began for all that needs to be done. He's also an overachiever extraordinaire, meaning they'll be many games, toys, excursions, etc. planned as well as a big party celebrating several birthdays, graduations, etc. They'll be 35-40 of us for the entire week, and 60-70 for the party. Anyway, I almost lost it this weekend over it all, was very stressed at times, but spoke up yesterday to DH & one of his sister's (who I love) but is coming to CT a week early. I was even more stressed at the thought that she, her DH & 3 kids would be staying with us for that week too. We have a summer cottage on a lake nearby that his family, including hers, have used over summers before, so I wanted & did set the stage to have them stay there. I know I'll need that time to get ready for the trip & would be a crazy woman if I try to entertain, feed, etc them & pack, finish organizing, etc with them here... and DH at work! Anyway, I'm feeling much better about it all today & ready to keep building my roadway to healthy eating & living.
So, I'll start 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 continue to be grateful for all my many blessings over this one day and each one meal, moment, bite & emotion at a time, through which I'll pray, breathe, post and express my way. xoxox
