Fall is coming!
Tomorrow actually. It’s fun to decorate the house for fall. I am wooed by the cranberry reds, the pumpkins, and even the fading green leaves that turn olive before brown. I don’t have that many fall decorations; it takes a grand total of fifteen fast minutes to unwrap and settle everything into it’s dusty home til December. Including the Thanksgiving linens.
The only decorative item I feel I am missing is a large Thanksgiving themed platter. I waited for one to go on sale on Pier One, but it sold out before going on clearance. There will be others, I think most I see are charming and would make a lovely addition to my holiday table.
Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday.
Challenges are going well. Started day with a juicy peach, no sugar needed. Kept within my eating window. No walks today, no excuses. I dislike walking on a windy day. Lame, I know. Did my stretches, told The Sps what his birthday gift is and he’s thrilled! A massage gift certificate from a local business and he gets to choose the masseuse.
Grateful:
-The color blue. It makes me happy.
-Kyler Murray is the QB for many of my fantasy football leagues. *vbg*
-A tense situation I dealt with last week is resolved. Even better, is that I said what I needed to say, and then dropped it. Even more astonishingly, I then let it go. After the exchange, I felt ok with what was said, followed through with my desire to not extend any drama, actually for real for real dropped it and was no longer thinking about it by bedtime. Usually it’s vital I have the security that the listener understand completely and with no ambiguity what I am trying to communicate, and I will talk/debate an issue to the death of the listener’s willingness to discuss anything else with me, ever. Then I will obsess about the whole thing, for months if not years.
This time? I felt it best for all involved to not push or defend the issue, as my ability to control behavior was limited. Was the issue important? Extremely. Yet I recognized what I can and can’t control, and made peace with letting it go.
I know y’all don’t know me, but keeping dealing with an issue short and sweet, and then NOT obsessing over it is … almost a miracle level accomplishment.
I am proud of me.
Godspeed Y’all!
