Today started out earlier than I wanted it to, and I feared that I wold have a lousy day because of it. I am grateful that I was able to remember that I can choose to have a good day. I remembered to think positive thoughts about myself. I didn't watch any TV and I felt present all day! I was able to be very independent today, I had lots of things to do, but I only did what I could do cheerfully. That feels so good! To only do what I felt good doing, and not feel guilty about the rest! Hooray! Tomorrow is going to be busy and hectic, but I pray that I will be able to find the inner peace I had today. I cannot control others, not even a little. I can have sympathy, acknowledge feelings and then move on, and check in on my own feelings.
I did quite a lot of christmas prep today, pre mixing the green bean salad, and making the trifle. Tomorrow morning we are going to have a big pancake breakfast, with all the fixings. Hash browns, bacon, OJ, and eggs. I'm looking forward to it, and happy that this wonderful family group that is here for it, seems happy to pitch in when it's time to clean up! Yay! Tonight as Solomon and I put the kids to bed, My brother and sisters vacuumed the living room, and cleaned the kitchen! It was so helpful. They had asked Solomon what they could help with and that's what Solomon asked them to do, and I am so grateful that they were willing.
Now I will have to see if Zoe sleeps well tonight, she's already been awake twice, and just now cried out, but resettled herself.
Please Lord keep close by me tomorrow. I really want to be healthy and independent tomorrow.
Oh and Merry Christmas Everyone!
