The rain has stopped & the skies are brightening, so maybe we'll get that bike ride in with our friends this afternoon after all :). Then, dinner with them after, where I'm sure we'll have much to laugh about from the day's adventure. They are going on the bike trip to Italy with us in Sept, but just purchased new bikes with clip-in shoes are are learning the ropes... or really the gears and the art of clipping in & out. This is the same couple that we golfed with last weekend who I love spending time with, so I know it will be a fun night. We're going to dinner at a regular spot, so I know the menu & that they have plenty of tasty, healthy options for me.
Had a nice time last night & said goodbye, for now, to our friend moving overseas. He'll be back & forth somewhat, and his wife is staying here mostly for the next year as their oldest finishes his senior year in high school. Even though I only had most of 1 glass of wine, I feel a bit sluggish this morning after not sleeping the best last night. I know I've said it before, but it pisses me off that I can't even have 1 glass without feeling it the next day... another result of aging as I certainly had more than 1 with no ill effects in my youth! I'll be sure to get in a nap & be watchful that I don't misread the feeling of being tired for hunger.
And, to help me with that, I'll start this day 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 throughout this one day, and each one meal, bite, moment & emotion, I'll continue to pray, breathe, post & express my way through. xoxox
