Today was another fun day! This whole weekend has been jammed packed with "party" after "party". Today was a party for my brother's wife. All guests were asked to bring a side dish. The theme was Mexican. My side dish of choice...my homemade two bean enchiladas...mmmmmm, they smelled tasty.
As I sit and reflect on this awesome weekend of friends and family, my original hesitation for not doing this challenge popped up. There is soooo much happening for me in June, so many food oriented events, that it would be easier to not participate. But I am really happy that I am participating. It feels good to be "challenged", to try something "out of the ordinary" and still be a part of the greater good. I managed to stay satisfied at this party by bringing my own large salad and fruit, although I didn't even need it as there was a fruit salad and watermelon as side dishes. I have also realized that I really do like a routine. Before this started, I thought my work schedule would be the challenging part, but I see now that it's the weekend, the no-schedule-do-whatever-you-want part of the week, that leaves me at a loss sometimes. I'm not comparing the work week with the weekend week as one being good and the other bad, it's just the observation that one provides a little more stability to my day then the other. And I like stability. I like the sensation of being grounded, rooted. And I am realizing that this whole challenge is a stable root for my well being, for my health, for my soul and I can't help but smile :)
