Ruhu's Journal, 13 October 2014

I'm back again from a great, fun-filled weekend in Nashville, with good friends and DS:)! We celebrated our friend's 60th birthday and spent time with DS who was there to meet his college friends for Vanderbilt's homecoming. We had lunch with him both days and he went out with us to one of the many fun bars there that have live music Sat night before he re-joined his friends. So, this is one happy gal with many more great memories to add to the collection!

I ate well and as healthfully as i could while traveling, but without stressing or obsessing over it, which was really freeing and made the trip so enjoyable. And while I did snack more than I may have needed to yesterday on my travel day home, I'm realizing that with airline travel the way it is these days, that's just sometimes inevitable. This time though it was our choice and the airline came through. We were booked on a 6 pm flight that wouldn't have gotten in until after 9, but both our friends and DS had to leave Nashville earlier than that. So, we decided to try to get on an earlier flight on standby, which came through & we got in at 7:30 instead -- much better for me as we're over an hour from the airport. So, I never really had dinner as we found out last minute that we were on the flight. But, I'm getting quite good at always having healthy snacks with me which worked well and even though I had more when i got home, I didn't eat beyond feeling full and easily stopped at that point. I'm calling it more progress in my quest to return from a trip without overeating!

Hope my FS buddies are all doing well & to catch up on journals soon! Today, I've been to my workout and have to head up to work shortly, but not without checking in here and starting 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.

I'm so very grateful today for each of wonderful you and our special place here on FS, my family & IRL friends, having had a terrific time while away, making progress while traveling and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox

Always carrying something healthy is a winning plan - helps prevent out of control choices, esp in the precarious nature of airline travel. Well done!
