Couldn't sleep thinking of everything to be done before I drive with youngest back to school on Sat. So, thought I might as well get up & get going on the To Do's. Besides my oldest's change of schools & residences, my BIL (that I do the bookkeeping for) is hoping to sell the business & has an interested buyer. It would be the best thing if he could sell, but they & the bank are asking for all kinds of additional financial info adding to my growing list. So, I'll tackle that til the sun comes up! Also, have multiple cars being worked on today -- remember my 2 minor mishaps!?! -- so will be dropping off & picking up vehicles throughout the day. And, once the sun does arise, its out on my bike I go. We're supposed to have beautiful weather for the next several days again in the northeast, so I gotta keep training for italy!
But before I start my early morning work & busy day, I'll pray... for serenity & a nap later on :) --
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.
While I post the same prayer & similar intentions every day, it is truly a help to me as I read & write it. Even this morning, in my 'anxious about getting everything done that I need to do' state, I feel more serene already & ready to tackle this one day and each one meal or moment or bite or emotion, one at a time remembering to pray, breathe, journal & express when needed. Today, I'm grateful for each & every one of you, my family & friends here, having both boys home for a few more days and being healthy & financial security enough to enjoy this life I love! xoxox
