Long day yesterday -- sadly learning about, discussing & coming up with a plan to deal with BIL's substance abuse relapse. I think/hope we (me, DH, SIL & her sister) convinced him that he needs to go back to rehab this morning. Praying that he keeps his promise to do so.
Again, in comparison, it makes me realize how truly blessed I am. My struggles with what/how much to eat pale in comparison, making me ever so much more grateful for this life I love.
I'm off to workout this morning & then am having lunch with MIL & a friend. It would have been her wedding anniversary today (FIL passed away 15 months ago tragically in a truck accident while working for the BIL who has again struggled since) -- they would have been married 58 years.
I'm feeling good, weight is holding steady & I'm back to my gluten, lactose & sugar aware WOE. I'm dappling with IF (Intermittent Fasting) after hearing & reading more about it recently. Any others who have tried it or follow it, I'd love to hear your thoughts, advice, etc.
But before I begin my day, 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 throughout this one day and each one meal, moment, bite & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, log, post & express my way. I'm especially grateful again today for each of you & your wonderful, never-ending support, my family & IRL friends, that hopefully BIL will get the help he needs, and more than ever that I am so blessed with the health & wealth to live this life I love. xoxoxo
