GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL OVERNIGHT

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He allowed me to have a wonderful overnight with Charles.

Charles made a meatloaf for dinner complete with a salad and veggies.  Then we went to the Smithtown Library for a lecture on Long Island-250 Years of History.   Back in the apartment we had a drink....I put BenGay on Charles and off to bed we went.

This morning we had breakfast.  We goofed around.  I again put BenGay on him and he went off to a ROMEO CLUB luncheon and I had a phone session with Judith and came ho e to do food shopping.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this wonderful day.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR WAKING UP

I am grateful to the Almighty because I woke up to a beautiful autumn day.

I'm happy!  I'm healthy!  I'm ready to begin the day!  

Last night the girls played Mahjong at my house.  It was lots of fun. I also went to Plainview Meditation where I'm learning a great deal.

Today I was supposed to have an early morning meeting with Dom BUT that did not happen.  I will be going to Plainview Medtation and then going to the apartment for a wonderful overnight with Charles.  We are going t a library program in Smithtown called LONG ISLAND 250 YEARS:  THEN AND NOW.

I am grateful to the Almighty fr all that He has done for me.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR LEARNING NOT TO WORK SO HARD

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has shown me that I don't have to work as hard as I do.

Charles left this morning and I will be going to the apartment tomorrow and come home on Wednesday.  We had a wonderfulul weekend at PJC and at All Souls culminating in a wonderful date with Anita and Ray at Bobby Sings Bobby.

I have decided not to work so hard with Dana and Madalyn.  Madalyn was horrible when she slept over and I raised my voice to her.   Dana will not let me speak to her even though I said that I would apologize.  I sent a Halloween card.  I am now moving on....the cards to Madalyn will continue to Madalyn but the texting and calling won't.

Thank you Almighty for teaching me to work less.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING PROUD OF ME

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has never let me down and has always been proud of me.

No matter what my Mother of the Creature said I was always proud of me. The Almighty allowed that to be so and I am grateful for it.

At this point in my life, the Almighty brought Charles who confirms all that I ever believed about myself.

Charlie will be in Plainview for the weekend.  We have a Havdalah Service, dinner and Bonfire at PJC tomorrow night.   Charlie is doing a reading at All Souls on Sunday and Sunday night with be th Bob and Ray Big bash.

Thank you Almighty for my new life and for keeping me strong so I could be proud of me.

GRATEFUL FOR APPRECIATING MY HOME

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed and helped me to become a secure individual.

I have become proud of myself and my accomplishments.  Although I still wake up with PTSD it passes as I know t will and I awaken to a new day filled with happiness and joy.  I look at my home with different eyes and really love it.  I enjoy space and living by myself. Each time Charles comes there is new delight in seeing him.  There is joy in attending the activities I do.

It was a good thing that we are taking time to see if we should move in together. Life is joyful.  Last night Charles took me to dinner in a new Mexican restaurant in Woodbury. The food was delicious.  We came home to watch a Dolly Parton show.  This morning Charles and I had breakfast and he left.

I have chores to do.  I will have a session at Plainview Meditation and walk at The Home Depot.  I hope to read and relax.

Thank you Almighty for my new feelings about my life.

I am grateful.
