Mellow Monday...

Ya know, I seem to do better when there are more expectations on my agenda....Otherwise I have a tendency to sit and veg out...I am purposefully writing now to get something accomplished today!

I kept my mantra going and it helped me calm myself until things worked themselves out. I did make one change to it because it flows better, " Stop, Breathe, Pray, Believe..." The word "Believe" also references the source of strength, that being faith in my Father looking out for me because He loves me.

My DH came through with assistance, so our trip to Greece is back on in September. We may go a week later since the person that is checking on airfare indicated that the fares to Greece go down after September 8th. I am so happy to share this adventure with my DH....my partner in crime!

The weekend wound up so beautifully with some work responsibilities being taken off my plate by my thoughtful boss. He was going in anyway and did the tape backups for me. He saved me money and precious time! I was able to have time for workouts and family responsibilities with the added time. My gas tank didn't shoot to empty with the drives I would have had each day.

Had my "reward" meal yesterday, but struggled to keep it with one meal. A family party got me started at lunch, and I had a difficult time stopping. I ended up taking in too much. A new day today and I'm doing well. I just got out for an extra walk today and feel more energetic now that the sun is shining again in WI! We're gonna have a warmup in temperature too.

So, the lesson I'm learning...When things feel like they're getting out of control, stop taking control, give it to Him who does and wait for the miracles because they're coming!

Happy day to all....
