GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL SHABBOS

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

I came home yesterday to do a variety of chores since I have been gone all week.  I was at services today and will be leaving at 2PM to walk at The Home Depot and head back to St. James.  Charles is taking me to a concert in Patchogue tonight.

Tomorrow I will be at All Souls Church as Reverend Ian is being honored.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the fun and joy in my life.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL WEEK

 I am grateful to the Almighty for the wonderful week that  had in St James with my husband.

Charles and I did so many wonderful things.  Firstly, it rained on Monday and Tuesday so I got to quietly read my book.  You know how much I appreciated that. Wednesday the weather was beautiful and we went to Long Beach and to Galiano's for dinner because it was the day of the week that wine club members get 2 free glasses of wine.  Thursday we went to The Beer Garden in Astoria to watch Ecuador play Germany and Ecuador won!!!!

I left on Friday to be home for Shabbos and will be back after services on Saturday.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL FATHER'S DAY

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

Yesterday we went to a Watch Party in Mineola Park for the World Cup. Sitting in the park was absolutely wonderful.   This was followed by Big Joe's Barbecue in North New Hyde Park which made it an awesome day.

Today I took Charlie out to breakfast at The French Connection.  I bought 2 wonderful coffee cups for our apartment too.

Michael and Andrew will be arriving at 2:30 today for Father's Day.  We will be having gluten free pizza and the trimmings.

 I am grateful to the Almighty for this wonderful day.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR THE SABBATH

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has made the Sabbath.  

It's a day of rest and quiet for me after a very busy week where I accomplished so many things.  Sadly it looks like one of my teeth has to be pulled BUT if that is the worst problem in my life then I'm fine.

Charles will be here today after services.  We will be going to a Watch Party for the World Cup and a barbecue. 

Thank you Almighty for thi wonderful Sabbath.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a real life filled with health and happiness and plans to look forward to.

Today I'm going to Dr. Ludwig so that he can again look at my tooth. But I'm also getting my jewelry changed, I'm signing up for the Plainview Pool and I'm going to Plainview Meditation.  I will walk and read my book too.

 Tonight it will be the Sabbath and tomorrow I will be at services.  When I come home Charles will be here.  I will be changing and going to a World Cup Party and Big Joe's Barbecue.   Sunday Michael and Andrew will be here.

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a life with wonderful things to look forward to.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR A QUIET DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a quiet day after all the excitement these last few days.

 I will be doing simple things today.  I will be cleaning the bathroom and kitchen.  I'm getting my hair colored and cut at I.D.  I will be going to Plainview Meditation.  I hope to walk.  I hope to start my new book.  I hope to make an appointment with Dr. Ludwig. Simple yet necessary things to do.

I am grateful to the Almighty for a quit day in my life.

GRATEFUL FOR THE OVERWHELMING HAPPINESS INSIDE ME

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me overwhelming happiness.

Today is Dana's 47th birthday and Madalyn's graduation from kindergarten.

Charles and I will be traveling to Brooklyn to celebrate this special day with them. I never dreamed that I could be so lucky.

 Thank you Almighty.

 I am grateful.


UPDATE:   It was an absolutely wonderful visit.  I brought Madalyn 4 presents and a picture of the two of us.  Charles and I liked her new apartment and Dana found a wonderful place to have dinner. We came home tired BUT happy that our mission was successful.  We have dates planned for July too.
