Monday April 22nd. Where does the time go? I've not been on the scale. I'm not planning on being on the scale for a bit yet. We went out yesterday to celebrate my birthday. Shopping and a meal out!!! Only shopped one store ... Macy's clearance rack and I found several great deals that my DH bought for me. We then picked up our son and went out to a place that had been featured on Drive-ins, Dive, and Diners in Spokane, Washington, Waddell's Pub. I had wanted to go to another place, very close to my son's home, Picabu Bistro but they are closed on Sundays!! Bummer. The food at Waddell's was very good though, I had a lamb philly and the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. Not exactly "losing weight" food but fun.
I started reading a book last night, The Happiness Project. I'm still trying to find my sea legs with all the drama and trauma we've been through in the last bit (actually the last few years) and thought I'd read something that might make me think in a different way. Life at home has stabilized but I find myself struggling with how to "talk" about what has occurred. I'm such a creature of habit and my habit is to avoid conflict at all costs and just cruise along. My primary focus is in being focused on the here and now though ... and I think in time things will unfold as they need to.
I can't quite get myself to journal daily like I used to in years gone by. I also can't quite get myself back to exercising but I know I need to figure that out. There are only so many hours in a day and a limited amount of energy so I do what I can.
Still ... through life's ups and downs I am grateful.
Grateful for a fun birthday celebration yesterday and looking forward to an anniversary celebration tomorrow. DH and I had an anniversary yesterday - 23 years of wedded bliss (LOL!!!) - but we've put off the celebration until next weekend when we have tickets to see the Cowboy Junkies!
Grateful for my dear, dear mother who spoils me completely rotten.
Grateful for kindness and the awareness that life is just what it is.
Grateful for sunshine and blue skies after yesterday's downpour of rain.
I hope life is treating each of you adequately well. Take care!
