Into NYC today to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary :), but on very little sleep :( unfortunately... and for no good reason! I ate well yesterday, did not drink & went to bed at the usual time - 10 pm, but was up at 1:30 & hardly slept after. I'm feeling very tired now, but determined to not let it ruin my weekend, so will go off to spin class shortly & get a nap before we head out. We're seeing Jersey Boys tonight with dinner before at an italian restaurant that serves food & wine from the Piemonte section of Italy where we biked -- I'm so excited that I found this restaurant & to try it. Even though we said the bike trip was our gift to each other, I'm surprising DH with a new silver wedding band (he lost his in Italy -- if I hadn't been with him, I'd be suspicious - LOL)! 25 years is the silver anniversary, lucky for him... think of what he could be wearing around his ring finger!
But before I begin my anniversary celebration weekend, 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 & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal & express my way. Today I'm grateful as always for each of you, my DH of 25 years, our family & IRL friends, and that even in my sleep deprived state I have the health and wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
