GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL SUKKOT HOLIDAY

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to have a wonderful SUKKOT holiday.

I know that I didn't get to attend services because of the major forester that we are still having.   I prayed at home.  Being with Charles was wonderful.  He is a very respectful and loving man.   I made 2 wonderful Sukkot dinners with prayers.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR FEELING SAFE

I am grateful to he Almighty because He has allowed me to feel safe in my own home.

Yesterday was Shabbat as well as the beginning of Sukkot.  Charlie is spending the weekend with me and will go home on Monday.  A horrific nor'easter began and I was so happy that Charlie was here.

I DID NOT go to services because of the horrific wind and rain.  I will pray at home today.  I have a wonderful sense of peace and quiet.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR SLOWING DOWN

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to slow down.

I'm learning to relax and to remember that everything in life doesn't have to be done immediately.  I can breathe.

Yesterday I enjoyed everything that I did slowly and quietly.  I got up with a smile today ready to face the new day.  My periodontal checkup was a good one.  I'm loving Plainview Meditation.

It's going to be a crazy weekend.  We are getting a giant nor'easter BUT this time I have a generator.  It will be Sukkot BUT I'm not sure about services.  Charles will be with me for the long weekend.  Tonite is the start of Sukkot with Shabbat.

Thank you Almighty for allowing me to slow down.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR NOT GIVING UP MY DREAMS

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has made sure that I have not given up my dreams.

By that I mean, the dreams that I have for myself.......NOT the dreams that I have for other people.  Plainview Meditation believes that those are false dreams and I agree with them.

Today I will summarize the book that I'm reading for The Sports Book Club.  I hope to walk at The Home Depot too.  I have a session at Plainview Meditation.  I also have a dental appointment to check on the tooth that was pulled.

Our date with the young couple...Kevin and Iris was really good.  We definitely will see them again.

I have become realistic about Hilary and have been texting with Izzy.

Thank you Almighty for all the good in my life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR TAKING CARE OF ME

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has helped me to take care of myself emotionally and physically.

Thank you Almighty for sending Charles into my life because he has become my mentor. Thank you for sending me to Plainview Meditation, a true help in learning to rid myself of false dreams.

I have a list of chores to accomplish SLOWLY.  Life is not a race. Charles and I have a date with Kevin and Iris tonight. It should be fun!

Thank you Almighty for taking care of me.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR LEARNING ABOUT MYSELF

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to accept myself, to lear about myself and to make the necessary changes to be at peace.

This happened during the High Holy Days.....Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.  They were both beautiful holidays. They were both very spiritual. I sat in the first row of the synagogue and really prayed. I learned a lot about myself and I woke up much calmer and happy.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

Thank you Almighty.
