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.

GRATEFUL FOR LOVING MYSELF

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has taught me how to love myself.

It took a long time BUT I finally learned how to do this.

I've gone shopping for me.  I got a manicure and pedicure. I joined Plainview Meditation and am learning how to throw away false pictures.  I am aware that Hilary is a narcissist and I learned how to deal with it. I'm eating healthy and exercising too. I'm very proud of me.

 Today I'm getting my hair blown out and going to Plainview Meditation.  I will walk at The Home Depot.

Charles will be here to spend Mother's Day Weekend with me. We will do the Sabbath together. Tomorrow we will be going out with Ray and Cindy in Plainview. I will finally learn about the Plainview that I never knew.  Hilary is hosting a brunch on Sunday and I bought Remi lots of gifts too.

I am grateful to the Almighty for my life.

Thank you.

Margie and I will have dinner tonight at Mario's and I'll speak to Charles at the end of the day.

GRATEFUL FOR A CALM MORNING

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a calm morning.  I really appreciate calm mornings as this was something that I NEVER had.  I am grateful to the Almighty for the gift of calmness.

Today will be a quiet day.  I'm treating myself to a manicure/pedicure this morning and Plainview meditation later in the afternoon.  I will walk at The Home Depot and I hope to finish my book....The Long Island Reads....Doorman.

Thank you Almighty for the calmness of this morning.

I am grateful.
