I am grateful to the Almighty for the wonderful week that I have had.
It was a special week. The retirement counselor called and I set up an appointment for him to come over. I was able to take three yoga classes. I walked every single day. I finished my book for the library book club and today will begin another for the yoga book club, where I hope to take the day off. I watched four television programs including Boardwalk Empire and Parenthood. I even managed to see the film Gravity, with him no less and I was careful of conversation. I have had a very successful week.
It is almost Shabbos. I am tired and as a result of that, I am vulnerable to his needling. At Sabbath dinner tonight, he will probably choose topics to insight fear in me. I will let all of this go so that I can heal.
I need to begin to work on a different mindset. All week, I work, so I don't have time to dwell on negative things. I usually allow myself to do this on the weekends. However, this weekend, I'm going to make a tremendous effort not to dwell on negative thoughts, emotions or people. If I find myself doing this, I promise to stop and let it go. I have to practice doing this because when I retire, I will have more time to be around him and this could destroy a pleasant retirement.
Thank you Almighty for the wonderful week that I have had and for a new plan.
