Did I tell you my good news? I'm taking early partial retirement and officially turned over the books on the self storage business that DH and I are partners in to the new bookkeeper yesterday :). It's a much smaller job than what I do for my BIL, but one less work obligation to stress over -- yeah! So, I'm eager to see how much time that frees up for me and if it'll help be whittle away at that never-ending to-do list.
Of course, at the same time, the continuing saga with my Mom is more & more time consuming, so that alone may fill the newly open time slots. Mom continues to decline slowly and is sleeping, tired & lethargic more and more of the day. The facility where she lives is recommending moving her to a new room closer to the dining room, piano lounge and activities room, so hopefully she can do more and not expend as much energy just getting to meals. Her current room is a farther distance, probably 3 times farther each way. I'm hoping this helps and am almost daily in contact with her nurse & social worker as we try to figure out if the new sleeping pill she insisted on from her dr is the culprit or if its just the aging process. This small move will also be an indicator of what could be ahead if/when I do decide to move her to CT.
I'm feeling good and happy to be back in my weekly routine, but also happy to be feeling more settled again into mindful, healthy eating. I continue to eat gluten, dairy, added sugar and caffeine aware recognizing that these foods do not agree with my body but I can still choose to eat them. In the words of mindful eating, I try to be sure that I really, really, really, really want them and only them, and acknowledge their after-effects on me.
Today, I start playing paddle (platform) tennis again outdoors which runs through the winter, and have 2 appts this afternoon -- one with DH and our financial planner and afterwards with my health coach. But first, I'll begin my 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
And I'll pray, breathe, log, journal, stay curious and express my way through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so very grateful for each of awesome you, my family & IRL friends, getting outdoors to exercise again, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love -- just realized, my two appts today are to help keep that health & wealth intact! xoxox
