GRATEFUL FOR INTENTIONS

Today I set an intention to see how the day unfolds and to enjoy what I could of it.   I am healthy, thanks to the Almighty.  I have been blessed with intelligence, friends and a really nice personality.


There are things in the day that upset me.  There is a person in the house that upsets me.  I don't dwell because my intention is to be happy.   I am succeeding!!!!!

I succeeded. No matter what the invited daughter did, I maintained my cool.

GRATEFUL FOR APPRECIATION OF MY LIFE

I finally took a walk this morning without thinking of issues or problems.  I just enjoyed the walk.  That was the intention that I set a few days ago, but things kept getting in the way.  I noticed that I just enjoyed the walk.  The problems belong to other people and I need time to enjoy my life.  I was in the present during the entire walk.


Even now, as I go about my day, I'm in the present.


I am grateful to the Almighty for finally understanding this!!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR MY INTELLIGENCE

I am so grateful to the Almighty for my intelligence.   I'm able to cope with all sorts of adversity.  True, it takes me time to figure things out, and I am emotional.


But, when I finally chart a course, I know what to do.


I am grateful!!!!

GRATEFUL TO THE ALMIGHTY

I could not have become the person that I am today without the help of the Almighty and for this, I am so grateful.


Yoga has taught me about intentions and that has lessened my anger and anxiety to a much lesser degree as I create an intention and then work very hard to remain focused.


I am enjoying each day to the fullest and have so much more time because I'm not wasting it by reviewing the past or creating daydreams that will never happen.  I focus on myself.


Thank you, Almighty!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR THE NEW ME

I am grateful to the Almighty for the "new me."  I know what to say and how much to say.  I know when to respond and when not to.  My life is calm and I can see that as I go through all the things on my bucket list for the summer that I wish to accomplish.  I feel proud of myself.


I have continued to work on my intention as I walk.  Each time a thought pops in, I pull myself right back.  I'm proud of me.


Thank you Almighty.


I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR AN INTENTION

Yesterday, I caught up on reading all of my magazines for July and August.  I read an article about walking/running and meditating.  It said that you should set an intention while you walk or run.


I had been having trouble while I was walking because my mind was thinking about all of the old injustices in my life.  I set the intention to enjoy the walk by listening to nature.  I took my I-POD with me but found that I didn't need it.  I listened to birds, and crickets.  When I found my mind wandering, I brought it right back.


This was the best walk that I have ever had.


I intend to do this every day.


I am grateful to the Almighty for finding this article.

GRATEFUL FOR HEARING

I don't mean that I physically can't hear.  Thanks to the Almighty, I can hear.  It means that emotionally, I can hear what is said to me and act on it.


Today in a yoga class, the instructor talked about swimming with the tide and giving up old dreams and hopes that no longer serve us.   If you live in the moment and create new hopes and dreams, you will be a much happier person.


I am grateful to the Almighty for being able to hear, process and use this information.

GRATEFUL FOR THE NEW ME

My schedule is a summer schedule and I am so grateful to the Almighty for this.  Yesterday at work, co-workers told me how relaxed I looked and I feel it.  The "new me" is wonderful.


Today, I went to the early prayer service.  With a new walking route, I walked 2 hours and 20 minutes, a new record for me.  I purchased coffee at DD and read my 2 newspapers at breakfast.


Now, I'm on computer.  I have an implant appointment a 2PM.  Originally, I was going to a comedy club, however, the passive-aggressive one, in the future, known as PA decided against it. That's his way of trying to be frustrating.  Sadly, he didn't succeed because I answered him in my work voice and he got nowhere.


I might do a mani/pedi today!!!!


I am proud of the "new me" and grateful to the Almighty for it.

GRATITUDE FOR HOW FAR I'VE COME

I am so grateful that I am a new person and have achieved so much.  I see it in my everyday activities.  I am quiet when I need to be and chatting when that is necessary.


I am very proud of me.


Today is the anniversary of my mom's death.  I attended the morning minyon and friends were happy to see me and asked me to return.  I am going to make this part of my regular schedule.  I came home and walked, got DD and read the newspapers and put in a wash.


Later, I have 2 yoga classes to attend and I'm learning to listen to an audio book for an upcoming book discussion.  Yesterday, I had lunch with friends and attended another book discussion group.


I'm quiet, avoiding all sorts of sizzling confrontation.


I have learned to appreciate the moment.


I am so grateful to the Almighty for my growth.

We are going to the condo today in Westhampton until next Sunday.  I'm going but I'm not happy about it at all.


I am delighted to say that I have created a wonderful life for me where I live after I work all day.  It's like a vacation for me considering all the enjoyable things that I do.  I'm not anxious to leave it at all.


I am grateful to the Almighty for allowing me to create this wonderful life.

GRATEFUL FOR THIS LIFE!!!

I am so grateful to the Almighty for the new life that I created.


Shabbos is very spiritual and quiet with its service and kiddush with friends that I see weekly.  Then its walking, reading, talking to friends.


I congratulate myself because I didn't fall into a verbal trap at all and therefore I didn't was my time.


Today began with an early morning walk for over two hours and yoga!  What could be better??
