GRATEFUL FOR GOING TO PLAINVIEW MEDITATION

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He encouraged me to re-join Plainview Meditation.

The first time I joined with my friend Margie after the Creature died.....my mind was totally unfocused.  Now I find that I hear what the instructor is saying and I'm absorbing it.  Yesterday she spoke of the mind taking pictures.   In order to remain in the present you must understand the concept MAKE IT DISAPPEAR when your mind strays.  I tried that this morning and IT WORKED.

I will be going for another session today at 1PM.  Then I'm laving for an overnight at the apartment where Charles has an activity planned.

I will be back tomorrow to go to Dr. Ludwig....my periodontist.

Thank you Almighty for my new adventure.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

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

I am healthy and happy and awaiting this new day. Spring is in the air!!

My Passover preparations are coming along nicely.

I'm very happy with the help that the Almighty has given me.

Yesterday I went to Hama Sushi with the girls and then played MahJong.

Today I'm going to continue to get ready for Passover by shopping.  I'll also do some cleaning.  I'm going to Meditation and I will walk at The Home Depot.

Cleaning out the kitchen for Pesach means there is no food in the house so I'm going shopping too.

Thank you Almighty for all the good in my life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE CHANGES IN MY LIFE

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He helped me to make changes in my life.

So much has changed since I was with the Creature.  My entire house has been redone.

I took a chance on FaceBook because of my daughters.......met a wonderful man.....approved of by Karen.   I took a chance in falling in love deeply with Charles......got engaged....got married on December 16, 2024 and have been beyond happily married for over 15 months.

I took a chance planning a vacation to Greenport this past weekend.  The HarborFront Inn was wonderful......the dinners at Noah's and Ellen's were wonderful as was the Greenport Brewery and the winery.

Tonight I'm played MahJong with the girls.  Even that has changed from when the Creature lived.

I am grateful to the Almighty because through these changes, the Almighty was always  there to support me.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL VACATION WITH CHARLES

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a wonderful weekend with Charles.

I drove out to to St. James and we drove to Greenport to start a beginning Spring Vacation at the Harbor Front Inn.

I love this man.

Thank you Almighty for this wonderful man.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING ALIVE

I am grateful to the Almighty because I woke up today alive and healthy and ready to begin a new day.

Yesterday I began my classes at Plainview Meditation!  What a joyful experience this was.

Today I'm driving to the apartment and Charles and I are going to The Harbor Front Inn in Greenport to spend the weekend!!!

It's the first day of Spring. The sun is shining.

I'm so happy.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

 

GRATEFUL FOR WAKING UP HAPPY

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to wake up happy without the feeling of PTSD.

I realized yesterday that I put thoughts in my on head when I feel fear and anxiety in my stomach.....thoughts of my parents, brother and the Creature.

However I am in charge of my mind.

My mind is not in charge of me.

I put that to use this morning and VOILA.....I'm good.

I had a wonderful dinner date with Margie last night.

Today I'm getting ready for my weekend away with Charles. I'm very excited.

I will be walking at The Home Depot, going to Plainview Meditation and to Kyra.

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

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR THE WONDERFUL MAN THAT I MARRIED

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He sent me Charles.....a wonderful man......and I'm married to this wonderful man and enjoying my life.

I'm back from St. James.  The show at Celebrate St. James was awesome...it was not only Irish songs BUT songs from the 70's that I could sing along to as well as dancing with Charles.

We did some errands afterwards....library to pick up books for The Sports Book Club.....Sports betting for March Madness and we we t to The Wine Guy because we needed to replenish wine at the apartment.

This morning I was on my way by 12.....to walk at The Home Depot....to continue Passover shopping and get a manicure.

I also continued to set up Pesach in the kitchen.

I'm having dinner with Margie at Marios.  I hope to read when I get home and then speak to Charles before I go to sleep.

Thank you Almighty for this wonderful man.

I am grateful.
