Up early as my excitement grows for our bike trip -- we leave tomorrow... did I tell you I was so excited that I couldn't sleep?!? I'll go for a last ride here this morning then start packing! I'm feeling good, will pack healthy snacks for the trip & have alerted the airline and our tour company about my dietary needs. I plan to stay my course gluten, lactose & sugar aware as best I can while I enjoy myself & all that Italy has to offer, including but not focusing on delicious food & wine.
I'll check in if & when I can, but you all will be with me along the way as you've come to mean so much! Your love & support has been too great for words & I'll be sending my love & support to you even if I'm unable to do so online. Stay your course & live the healthy, happy life you deserve... one day at a time!
As always, before I begin my day of prep & packing, I'll pray --
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
And throughout this one day, meal, moment, bite & emotion and each one day, meal ,moment, bite & emotion as I pedal my way through Northern Italy, I'll continue to pray, breathe, journal & log when I can and express my way. I'm ever so grateful for each of you, my family & IRL friends and having the health & wealth to go on this amazing 25th wedding anniversary trip and live this life I love! xoxox
