I ended up working a fourteen hour day which leaves very
little time for celebrating. I treated myself to a healthy lunch at home with
my dad and we had a nice little chat. That evening I also treated myself, this
time not so healthy! I have been doing really well at my new eating habits, and
that includes no Dunkin runs. For work I had to make two trips to Dunkin Donuts
and decided that for dinner I would splurge and have a bagel and cream cheese.
It has been so long, and it was SOOOO good, but I likely won’t do that again anytime
soon (I didn’t miss it that much!). After that I went home and walked my five
miles, played a game with mom AND dad (best day EVER!!) and then called it a
night.
One thing I did do yesterday was a little blog stalking. I
found the blog of a couple I graduated high school went. They’ve moved out of
country since and have three kids and recently adopted the sweetest little boy
from Ethiopia. Oh my goodness!! My heart just goes crazy when I read of these
children in orphanages around the world and I want so badly to help and to
bring as many children home as possible. I hate feeling so helpless when there
are so many children who need a home and a little love! It renewed my desire to
one day adopt children…in a BIG way!
Now it’s 6:30 AM and I’ve already been going for two hours…another
LONG day, a mirror image of yesterday – 5 dozen donuts, 4 gallons of OJ, 2 30
minutes meetings, and a lot of paperwork. But it’s good. I’m exhausted, but
because of several experiences lately, I feel a sense of peace, like everything
is falling into place exactly as it needs to, even though I don’t really see
that picture yet or understand what it means. More than I have in a long time,
I FEEL how much my Heavenly Father loves me and guides me and wants me to
succeed. He didn’t leave me or any of us stranded on our journey here, He’s got
a plan and I trust Him! I love this life I have, and I love the reasons I have
to celebrate, even if it is my own made up day!
