GRATEFUL FOR A PEACEFUL DAY

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

Charles arrived at 5:30 after I came home from Plainview Meditation and took me out for a wonderful dinner at Hama Sushi.  Dana canceled our plan for today because Madalyn has strep throat so we have declared it a Pajama Day.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL THAT THE ALMIGHTY IS LOOKING AFTER ME

I am grateful to the Almighty because He is looking after me.

Today was Shabbos and also the last day of Shavout and Yizkor. As I said the Yizkor service I saw that I was no longer angry with my parents.  I hoped that they could look down from heaven to see how much I have achieved.  I was proud of, as the Rabbi said, "My Resilience."

It's a rainy Memorial Day weekend.  Charles will arrive after Plainview Meditation....after 5.  I will also walk at The Home Depot.

I hope to call Karen.  I hope to read. I'm not sure whether we are visiting Dana tomorrow as Madalyn has strep.

I am grateful to the Almighty for watching over me.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR THE JOY IN MY LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me so much joy in my life.

Last night, after my Shavout dinner I attended a study session at PJC.  It was spiritual and amazing.  This morning I attended services.   I will be going to The Home Depot to walk and to a session of Meditation at Plainview Meditation.

I will be speaking to Charles later this afternoon.  I love our space arrangement.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me Freddy to keep my home safe and Charles to love.

 Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE PEACE IN MY LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me peace in my life.

It is so joyful to wake up quietly......to go about my morning chores peacefully......to text love messages to Charles.......to have a quiet breakfast with the news on television.....to read the paper......take a shower and brush my teeth.  This was the norm for so many people through their lives.  I'm so glad that the Almighty let me experience this now!

Today I will be cashing a check at Chase and paying bills and mailing them at the post office.  My floor needs to be swiffered  too.  I will read and walk at The Home Depot. I'm getting my hair blown out.  

 Tonight is the beginning of the holiday of Shavout and I will be going to a service and classes at PJC tonight.

Tomorrow is Shavout and the beginning of the Sabbath.  I will be at services both Friday and Saturday.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the peace in my life.

Thank you.

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.

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.
