Yesterday was certainly the most active day of the week thus far, and considering the temperature, I'd say that was a personal victory. So far, so good with health and wellness. I have kept up with my refreshingly sparse (but smart) dietary goals, managed to get it several miles of walking (though not quite as many as I'd originally hoped for), spent oodles of time with my favorite mini-humans, been productive, stayed hydrated, and I feel mentally and emotionally calm....happy.
The weekend starts today; we're headed to Mark's family reunion- about which I am so excited. I love his family (the handful of members I've met anyway), and the idea of meeting everyone is really enticing. Not only will the kids have countless other kids to play with, but I get to put faces with family stories...and I love that I can be with Mark in his territory, watching him be with people he hasn't seen in years. I'd just as well enjoy being a fly on the wall, so this is icing.
The weather is just gorgeous this morning, having cooled off considerably with a welcome breeze last night. The colors are light; the air is gentle; the mood is pleasant. Mark has taken the kids to get their hair cut, which gives me time to pack, do laundry, take a shower...I mean...post in my blog. I have so much to do! But the porch is so nice....
I can't say that I'll have much time to write this weekend, but I'll come back with tons of thoughts and photos (I will have also gone to a bridal shower before I make my way home again).
This really has been a week of conversation, of trial, of an exercise in good habits. With this calm I feel now, I look forward to next week's adventure, and to letting things be as they are. As we discussed with our favorite, wise neighbor this morning, whatever comes next is whatever comes next, and there is so much peace in that.
Be well, friends.
