Saying goodbye to our current guests, then a nice break until Sunday when my SIL & family arrive (but remember, are staying at our lake cottage). We had a great visit this go around -- bitter sweet at times remembering their son/our friend & past neighbor who passed away from ALS, but I know they love hearing all the old stories. We're very fortunate that we live in a neighborhood -- moved here 18 years ago when my boys were 3 & 6 -- where several of us became good friends (adults & kids), socialized a lot, did annual ski trips together, etc. So, over the years, we've accumulated many kid & adult stories. Anyway, it was fun for us to re-tell them & I know they love keeping his memory alive through them.
I'm feeling good as I'll say good-bye to them this morning, then will play some outdoor tennis, work & catch up on the household stuff. And, at weigh in, I'm back at goal after a fun, long but healthy and mindfully eaten weekend. And, will start gearing up for the next guests & then the week away -- you'll be hearing more about that, for sure!
But, for today, I'll start 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, for this one transitional day, and each one meal, moment, bite & emotion, I'll continue to pray, breathe, journal & express my way. Didn't sleep great last night, so I'll also be on high alert for the tiredness that likes to disguise itself as hunger! And, I'll again be grateful for my health, family & friends (including all of you, of course!) and many, many blessings! xoxox
