GRATEFUL FOR MY NEW LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a wonderful new life.

Charles' 75th Birthday Trip was a HUGE SUCCESS.  I am beyond grateful to the Almighty for allowing this to happen.  The weather was gorgeous.....really summer like. North Branch Inn was wonderful. Jake made FREE INCLUDED BREAKFAST. The HAPPY HOUR was beyond belief. Dinners were out of this world. We absolutely loved the room and I loved the independence of my shower and the funky bathtub in the room. We went to see WOODSTOCK in BETHEL.  We took the tour in the golf cart and enjoyed the museum. We traveled to ROSCOE and to NARROWSBURG too. Each day brought a wonderful experience in the SUV that we rented.

Charles left early this morning to return the vehicle.  I will start my day remembering the joy of our love on this wonderful birthday trip.

Today it's back to chores but the MEMORIES of our days together will shine through.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful. 

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY VACATION

GRATEFUL FOR BEING EXCITED AND HAPPY

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has made me both excited and happy. 

This is a very special long weekend because I am taking my beloved Charles on his BIRTHDAY TRIP to the Catskills.  We are staying at THE NORTH BRANCH INN. We are leaving today.....Thursday May 14th and will be home on Tuesday May 19th.

I'm very happy to be doing this for Charles. I'm also very happy for me as I get to take vacations that are joyful.

Thank you Almighty for my joy and excitement.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING HAPPY

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to become a happy human being.

I am so beyond grateful for all the friends and activities that I have, Yesterday I had my hilts done at ID......I'm blond and green now!!!  I went shopping at Bloomingdale's and bought makeup and a beautiful new MZ Wallace bag.  I'm treating myself to things because......if not now...then when?

Today I will be speaking to Dom at 10 and then going to Lunch and Learn at PJC.  I will walk at The Home Depot and get a manicure too.  I'm taking myself to dinner because tomorrow I take Charles on his 75th Birthday trip.

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

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING RESILIENT

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has made me a BRIGHT and RESILIENT human being.

I have a tendency to believe in dreams that I create BUT I need to come back down to reality.

Today is one of those days.

I need to be resilient so that I don't create false dreams and illusions and then become disappointed.   I need to take care of me and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

That's exactly what I'm going to do.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful. 

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.

Charlie took me to Monte's for a Mother's Day dinner on Saturday night.  Sunday we had brunch at Hilary and Izzy's new co-op.   I brought Remi 2 boxes of Pokemon cards and a Hess truck for Remi and a bottle of wine for Hilary.  We had a delightful time....even gettin to walk in Forest Park.  Then we went to visit Anita and Ray....also VERY BIG FUN!!!!

Charlie bought me a Class at the new cooking establishment called Bud in Smithtown and Anita give me a bottle of wine.

We came home exhausted.   Charlie left this morning and I went to the Verizon Store to explain new things about my phone.  I will walk at The Home Depot and attend a session at Plainview Meditation.

I'm having dinner at Pasteria and playing Mahjong at Rhonnie's.

Thank you Almighty for this incredible Mother's Day weekend.

I am grateful. 

GRATEFUL FOR MY NEW LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a wonderful new life.

Shabbath dinner with Charles was wonderful.  I made salad and swordfish with carrots.  We start with a cocktail that I make and end with one as dessert.  Charles is so respectful of Shabbat services that I do and candle lighting.

Today I attended services.  I will read and walk at The Home Depot. Charles went to a Commack Library program with Stephen.

Tonight we are having dinner with Ray and Cindy. They live in Plainview and know many restaurants that I don't know.  We're going to Villa Monte. I'm very excited.

Thank you Almighty  for this new life.

I am grateful.
