Home sweet home… really home cold, snowy home… but I'll take it! I'm still basking in the glow of a good trip, and for the first time since my journey began, traveling & transitioning home without binging or eating sugar! So, not even the piles of mail & laundry or the page long to-do lists has or will get be down today!
Today is my DH's birthday. We celebrated with dinner out last night with DS, and will do cake & presents tonight. Usually DH wouldn't get home from work until his norm at around 8 pm & DS has class until 7:30, but with the winter weather advisory & predictions of 5-8 inches this afternoon/evening, they my both be home early. I went for an early workout, stocked up on groceries & am home starting on my chores after having started a fire. I'm not sure yet if my coffee date will happen or not as light flurries have already started.
DH used the "its my birthday" excuse to send me 2 lists of to-do's… I was still mad at first, but will give it a rest… at least until tomorrow. His brother who I do the books for is trying to sell the business. It's much too long of a drama to go into, but the sale is progressing, DH is negotiating the sale for him & we're getting close to final documents & a closing date. Hence, 1 of the to-do-lists. The other list includes the other 2 businesses he volunteered me to do the books for, but I've done my own negotiating to hire a bookkeeper to take them over. And, I'm not in the least bit ashamed to want to take early retirement! Until I get that worked out, I may not get here quite as often, but could never cut back more than to an a.m. and p.m. visit. You have all come to mean so much, are such special friends who know & understand me in a way that others don't, and have showered me with such love & support that I could never stay away any more than that! We have too wonderful of a place here, so no matter how long that list gets or how slowly it gets done, you're stuck with me!
So, now I can get on with my day, but first 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, thought, emotion and to-do list item, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal & express my way. I'm soooooo grateful for each of wonderful you, all the love & support you give me every day and especially while I was away visiting my Mom, my family & IRL friends, that Mom is holding her own & we had such a nice visit, that i was finally for the first time ever able to travel & transition home while staying my course, and that I have the health & wealth to live this life I love. xoxoxo
