Today was about celebration, first that I made it through day one, although I did cut out a few things from the program. But nonetheless I did complete my goals so yes, I'm celebrating. I'm also celebrating life itself so often I wake up and just beg for 5-10 minutes by myself before I hear the little feet running down the hall asking for apple juice and eggs, not today. I do cherish my "new" morning routine but I was happy to have my children wake up with smiles on (of course I not only have one sick child but all three are down with whatever the first had) but it did not get in the way of our plans today (yes, we stayed home and they took several baths) but we painted and watched movies and played it was enjoying them no matter the circumstance.
So as I continue into day 2, I did my devotional and it was on recapturing Joy and learning to appreciate and celebrate in the tough times because in these times we become stronger & closer personally, with your spouse and with your family. It's in these times too that God shows Himself faithful, not just in times of happy celebrations. I have lots of doubt if I even know what to do with tomorrow but I know that will handle itself. So I am thankful He is there to hold me today tomorrow and forever.
I did the Zen yoga and then off for a 30 minute walk (I know after today I need music, but I was working hard for sure) and enjoyed every minute of that time. I think I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow morning.
The menu today was once again, delicious and filling, I did have a snack a handful of raisins yummy, and I made a big jug of green tea and that was a nice treat during the day. So I'm off to eat my Curry Chicken and Veggies with Couscous.
I will continue to celebrate and I hope I can share with someone that yes, we must celebrate even the smallest blessings in life. It makes us stronger and we learn to lean on Jesus more and more.
