GRATEFUL FOR THE RESILIENCE IN MYSELF

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has made me a strong, resilient and capable woman.

It's been tough these last few weeks.  Dana's visit and it's aftermath were horrific. Then there were the phone calls from my brother.

I was hurled into a state of PTSD BUT I am slowly recovering with new strategies to use. Yesterday I saw my brother eating dinner by himself outside of BAGEL BOSS.  It was a short, simple conversation.......

Today is a great day to leave all this behind and travel with Charlie to Erie for the 100th Anniversary of Gannon University.  His friends will be there and it will be fun.

Thank you Almighty for my strength.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR LIVING IN THE MOMENT

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I am making a concerted to live in the moment and I'm enjoying it.

Today Charles and I attended the Sports Book Club and went out to lunch with a number of the participants.  It was a lot of fun.

I came home to compete packing for our trip to Erie which starts tomorrow.  We will be home on Tuesday September 16.

I am very excited to do this.

Thank you Almighty for my new goal.

I'm working on it and I'm grateful for it.

GRATEFUL FOR REALIZING TO CALM DOWN

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me the insight into the fact that I must calm down......must stop believing in false dreams.......relax, rest, and enjoy my life.

Issues with my brother Stephen....or my daughters Dana and Hilary must be accepted if I am to live a happy life.

I'm getting older so that more R&R should be part of my life.

I have realized this and now I will work on it.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.
