GRATEFUL FOR SO MANY THINGS IN MY LIFE

I am grateful, to the Almighty, on this first day of Spring for so many things in my life.

It really didn't snow.  I didn't have much to shovel.

I have become myself.  I have connected my home and work personalities so that I can enjoy my own life.  I have made friends.  I do so many interesting things.  Last night, for example, I went to Restorative Yoga.  Tonight, I have a private yoga lesson.

I feel safe.  I know exactly what to do if someone tries to hurt me emotionally.  That is a real blessing.  I feel in control.  I don't have to make anyone else happy in order to feel happiness. I don't have to please anyone but myself.

I'm looking forward to Spring because I will have a good time, not because anyone will be good to me.

I feel joy inside.  I feel laughter on the outside.  I laughed so yesterday when I hugged the dog's frisbee and he ran the other way barking.   My heart sang because it was funny.  

I have been around misery all my life and have tried to make others feel good.

I know that it's time for me and I'm not looking back.

I am grateful!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR HAPPINESS

I am so grateful to the Almighty for my happiness.

I have a new sense of who I am and am so comfortable and happy within myself.

I feel so calm.

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

GRATEFUL FOT A WONDERFUL WEEKEND

Thank you Almighty for giving me the determination to plan and then have a wonderful weekend.

I did so many enjoyable things this weekend.  Some were the usual things that I always do.  Services were enjoyable on the Sabbath.  I was able to socialize with synagogue friends.  Walking happened in Home Depot due to the bad weather.   The book, FOREVER, that I'm reading for the Sisterhood book club is excellent.   My yoga class on Sunday morning was a lot of  fun.

But, then there were the new things that I did which were amazing.   I went to a Yoga Workshop with a Life-Coach and learned a lot about myself.

I went for a manicure and pedicure and now my nails are PURPLE!!!   Wow!!!

I planned all of these activities for myself and had a really relaxing time.

I know that because I'm at work now and can feel the results of that relaxation.

Thank you, Almighty for a wonderful weekend!!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR RECOGNITION

I want to thank you, Almighty for the gift of RECOGNITION.

I realized that if I was to have a good day, I needed to be much quieter today and smile a lot more.

I will have a good day.

I have joy.  I have energy.

The workshop that I went to yesterday was very enlightening.  I learned to go back in time to understand why I feel the way I do today.   I certainly learned a lot.  It took me a while to write about it since I had to make it my own. 

I also enjoyed the conversation that I had with my younger one too.

It's time to walk.

It's time for yoga.

It's time to have a good day.

I have had an excellent day.  My yoga class was a joy.  Walking was wonderful.  I found the Passover items that I needed in the supermarket.

I'm off for a manicure and pedicure!!!!

GRATITUDE FOR MY LIFE

Thank you for the day, Almighty!!!!!  

It has been excellent.

GRATEFUL FOR HAPPINESS

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am happy today.

I wrestled with so many issues this week and realized that they were not about my life.

My life is about loving myself deeply.  My life is about letting go completely that which doesn't serve me.

I lost track of that for a few days, BUT, I'm back on track!!!

Thank you, Almighty!!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR THE DAY!!!!

I am grateful to the Almighty for this day!!!

I took the day off from work to repair my entire bonding.   The dentist told me that there was some play in the teeth that had been severely damaged.   Thanks to yoga, I accept this and will do what I have to do.

And I got a note.......................


I'm getting my hair colored and cut.

I'm going to GOVERNOR'S TONIGHT!!!

I know how to handle him and he is quiet and I am aware enough to know that it is for now.

I am grateful!!!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR FINDING MYSELF

I am grateful to the Almighty for finding myself last night.

I was upset and becoming depressed.  I suddenly realized that I was not really listening to the words of my mantras.  I was just mouthing the words.

I needed to fully let go of that which doesn't serve me.  I was saying that daily, but wasn't doing it.  I needed to get back on track.

The more I realized this, the more I realized that I was ONLY responsible for myself.  After realizing this, I felt a lot better.

I was also becoming worried that Spring was here and then comes Summer.  I worried about what he could do to me.  I realized that he had no control over me.  I must let go of that which doesn't serve me.  The way to do that is to be quiet.

I am grateful to the Almighty for realizing this.

I have found myself and am back on track.

I am grateful to the Almighty for His helping me to realize this.

GRATEFUL FOR KNOWING WHEN TO MOVE ON......

I am grateful to the Almighty for knowing when it is time to move on...............

I wouldn't be human if I didn't feel anger at times during my life.  However, I find that I do not spend over time thinking about how angry I am or how disappointed I am at the way things worked out.

I just move on and find new things in my life.

I bury the old dreams and make new ones.

I am grateful to the Almighty for learning how to do this!!!!!!!

GRATITUDE FOR A WONDERFUL WEEKEND

I am grateful to the Almighty for His giving me a wonderful weekend!!!

The weekend was filled with so many things that I enjoyed and that make my life worthwhile.

Thank you for teaching me to be silent and to accept what I can not change.

Thank you for allowing me to let go of people that no longer serve me.  

Thank you for showing me how to love myself fully!!!!

I am grateful!!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for my life.

I didn't realize how far I had come until I went to dinner with the girls and that boyfriend last night and realized that I am so beyond them.  It was so much fun to enjoy dinner while saying absolutely nothing of consequence.

He was upset with all of this.  For the first time, I felt no pity for him because he never appreciated me.

I have so moved on from all of this.

I walked this morning and it was beautiful.   I went to yoga and even to WEIGHT WATCHERS.  Now I'm calmly preparing for Passover.

I am grateful to the Almighty for showing me the wonderful life that I have.

GRATEFUL FOR SHANTI

I am grateful to the Almighty for sending me SHANTI or PEACE today.

I have LET GO FULLY of those things and people that don't serve me.  I am at peace with myself.

Thank you, Almighty for SHANTI!!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR LEARNING TO BE MELLOW

I am grateful to the Almighty for learning to be mellow.

I am not by nature, a mellow person.  However, I have finally learned that in certain circumstances with people who only wish to upset and harm you, the most important thing is to be mellow.  In that way, you can survive and enjoy each day of your life.

I have set an intention to be calm.  No one person is going to upset that.  I love myself deeply.  I will let go of what doesn't serve me fully.

This helps me to enjoy life.

I am grateful to the Almighty for teaching me how to be mellow around people who are not healthy for me.  These are people that I am related to.  I'm not talking about friends or acquaintances because I would end those relationships in a heartbeat.

It's interesting that I feel no anxiety about these feelings.  I am not swallowing my rage against these people.  I just have, in my on mind, ended my relationship with them and have moved on.

Thank you, Almighty for this realization.

GRATEFUL FOR THE FEELING OF SERENITY

I am grateful to the Almighty for the feeling of serenity in me.

As a result of understanding the players in my life, my day has been extremely calm and I am enjoying it very much.

Right now, I'm on the computer listening to beautiful yoga music.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this feeling.

May it stay with me, as they say in yoga, tonight and into my day tomorrow.

Namaste!!!

GRATEFUL FOR CALMNESS

I am so grateful to the Almighty for the calmness that I feel.

Usually, when I awaken in the morning, I feel anxiety.  Lately, if I do, I say my prayers and my mantras.  The fear resides and I move on.  I am so grateful for this.

I am grateful that we are in the middle of a nor'easter because I had to stay home yesterday and then again today.  He had to drive me.   I was calm, cool and collected.  It's a new ME!!!  I don't get rattled by anything.  I feel like everything is scripted and I know EXACTLY what to do or say.

It's the same with the older one.  I love myself deeply.  I am letting go fully.  To me this means, I know who she is and I'm not gong to get involved with anything.  It's as if I were looking at her solely from the outside and going about the motions.  This has made me very relaxed.

This doesn't mean that I'm not aware of my supporting players.  At any moment, they could erupt. But, I know who they are.

I have given up all dreams of them.  These dreams were man-made, made by me.  They were never real.  I have finally come to that conclusion.

I am prepared.

I am calm.

I thank the Almighty for this!!!!! 

GRATEFUL FOR BEING ME

Thank you Almighty, for making me the person that I am.

I have created a new life and I am very satisfied with it.

I have joy!!!  I have energy!!  I will have a good day!!

I love myself deeply!!!

I'm working on giving it up fully!!

Last night, I made my heart sing!!!  After the dentist, where my bonding broke, I was delighted to make an appointment and take the day off from work to fix the entire thing.

I went to a Restorative Yoga class and felt my muscles stretch.  Then I went to a Sisterhood meeting and won a prize in THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!!

I came home and this morning, despite the impending storm, drove to work.  I'm going out for dinner with a friend and then working, OPEN SCHOOL NIGHT.

I have made my heart sing!!!

Thank you Almighty for perfecting the model of me so I can enjoy myself!!!

Open School Night was postponed until NEXT WEDNESDAY when my friend and I are doing dinner.

How pleasant it is to be home in the storm with no one annoying me.  I have learned to say just enough and just the right things to keep me safe.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

GRATEFUL FOR THE GIFT OF CONTROL

I am grateful to the Almighty for teaching me how to control myself and ONLY SAY WHAT I NEED TO.

This has given me so much more pleasurable free time.  Life is like a vacation!!!

Thank you, Almighty for the gift of control!!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR EMOTIONAL GROWTH

I am grateful to the Almighty for my emotional growth.

I FINALLY have used my cute little voice to say what I feel.  That is a very big thing for me because once it was said, I was done!!!!

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

GRATEFUL FOR STRENGTH AND FORTITUDE

Thank you Almighty for all of my strength and fortitude.   

I really am enjoying the day.   I walked outside again for two hours and then I went to my yoga class which was wonderful.

I put gas in the truck and bought coffee.  I read the newspapers and did some work on Passover.

Later, I'm going for a manicure.

I am thinking of retiring.  I believe that I have the strength and fortitude to do this.

GRATEFUL FOR WALKING

I am so grateful to the Almighty because I took my 2 hour walk this afternoon.

I haven't done that since right before the blizzard.  I really enjoyed it.  It showed me that my being tired was purely emotional because I am now wide awake and alert.

Spring is in the air!!!   I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

GRATEFUL FOR REALIZATION

I am grateful to the Almighty for realizing that I am tired because being tired in this house can be a very dangerous thing.

It can be the reason that I let me guard down and answer back something that should not be answered.

Therefore, even though as a person, I don't like to acknowledge that I am tired, I am tired. My guard is up and I feel protected because I won't answer back what I shouldn't.  That will keep me safe.  

Thank you, Almighty for this realization!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR THE NEW ME

I am grateful to the Almighty for the "NEW ME" that I have become.

I know that the Almighty loves me.  I talk to HIM all day long.  I pray to HIM.   I know that he is there for me in whatever I do.

He has sent me YOGA and MEDITATION.   It is from the MANTRAS that I have raised my self-esteem and learned how to take care of myself and be safe.

HE has taught me how to develop a life for myself and for that I am grateful.

I am very proud of myself.  I am in control of myself.  

In these last few days, I have been tested.  I am proud to say that I have passed EVERY TEST with flying colors.  I watch myself from without and I see that I am not the same person that I was before.  

I am grateful to the Almighty for the new me.
