a change in perspective

The weekend was so much fun! Thursday's date with Corey was amazing! We had our sushi and caught up and he loved his present. Mom and Mike and I ended up going to the other Hibachi restaurant for dinner and then just hung out at the house. Friday morning I got up and ran in the park before the golf tournament. The tournament was great! Kelsey and I made $640 dollars from 30 golfers! We got 160 and then Coach Pruett doubled it for us and the M Club doubled that! It was so great!! So mom made us dinner for when we got home and we just hung out until Corey came ovr to play Euchere with us. We almost won but ended up losing and had to do a shot which made me feel guilty because the calories in alcohol is one reason I don't really drink. So after that, Corey and I fell asleep watching a movie in the living room. He ended up sleeping on the 3rd floor for the night. I made him breakfast before work yesterday morning before I went to breakfast with Sarah.
I was stressing a lot over the weekend about practice and not having my tumbling and just feeling really overwhelmed. Saturday I just cried after mike and I worked out in the back yard. Mom gave me a book about mothers and daughters and it just opened the flood gates. I spent most of the day being pretty quiet which was a combination of exhaustion and frustration. But today I got up early to take Jess and Josh to church and felt completely at peace when I remembered, I am not in control. I have no control over what happens weeks from now only over what I am doing RIGHT NOW! I have been so much more relaxed and at peace. I think I'm going to start going to daily mass at least twice a week. Tomorrow I'll be getting up early to go see Dr. Kays but Tuesday I'll be there. I want to start writing doen 10 things I'm thankful for every day. I think it will help me put things in perspective.
1. Going to church with jess and josh
2. The beautiful weather
3. seeing you're a good man charlie brown in the park
4. discussing corey coming to Columbus on Tuesday
5. Bsking in the peaceful feeling that I am not in control
6. Some really pretty handsprings with mike
7. Getting to see Whitney. Her energy is contagious
8. Putting in extra effort and doing 50 toe touches just because
9. Watching old school with dad
10. Spending some time with the Gibbs
