Yesterday was--by far--the best birthday that I can recall having in years. My friend Emily came to Austin with her baby girl and spent the night Wednesday. We ate lots of yummy food, including gluten-free cupcakes (which are the best kind btw) and watched lots of Stranger Things. LOTS of Stranger Things.
Thursday, we ate at one of my favorite breakfast spots and we then went shopping. It was so relaxing; no pressure to do anything but what I wanted to with people I love.
Today is the first real day of my challenge to myself. I've taken the first steps in pushing myself towards the right direction, like making a list of things to accomplish today and today alone. Sadly, I'm feeling the attack of the unexpected monthly visitor right now and all I want to do is EAT BREAD. Any kind of bread. With mayonnaise on it, or just cheese, or bacon. Oh my gosh, just all the bread.
But, can't do that anymore. Sigh.
I'm in the process of reorganizing the list as I've decided to add a couple of spiritual gifts, including curating and caring for friendships. The more time I've spent actually talking to my friends about my issues instead of stuffing them down with a huge bowl of mashed potatoes and gravy, the more I feel like a real, legitimate person.
Here's to the start of a fantastic new year!
