Contentment, today

I am having a "me" day. Watching HGTV, crocheted a cell phone bag holder with plarn, chicken in the crockpot, a little time on facebook. It is great to be finally satisfied with the house, the living room layout with the pew and the awesome 35 dollar comfy couch from Goodwill. Carol is with her good friends, Ames and Johnny are sleeping. I am wearing the comfy cotton dress I got from Savers in Austin. I served communion at church today and it was an extremely spiritual experience. I finally got a response from the lady who will take my Mother's knitting books off my hands. I have talked to or texted all my kids this week. I am working on eating better-- made this casserole with tuna and onions, bell peppers and onions sauteed in olive oil yesterday. Ate it wrapped in organic lettuce leaf. It was good. I am planning to run a little farther every day and start upper body workout.

I feel a sense of serenity as I continue to work on living one day at a time, finding opportunities to love and serve where I can while taking care of myself. It isn't always easy, people and situations can be challenging and difficult, but working on me and leaving the rest to my higher power gives me peace and contentment.
