GRATEFUL FOR BEING HOME

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have a wonderful home and life to return to after vacations in the Hamptons.

I love each and every one of the things that I do.

GRATEFUL FOR THE CHANGES IN ME

I am grateful to the Almighty for the changes that I see in me.

I was looking back on the entries that I have made these last 5 years and all the things that have happened to me.  

I have taken myself on a sankulpa, a long journey to move myself forward to a better place. The journey is a slow one.   I have evolved into a strong and capable woman.  My journey continues each day.  However, with the Almighty by my side I will be safe.

Thank you, Almighty.

GRATEFUL FOR THE NEW ME

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has created the new me.

I am not the same person that I was four years ago.  I am the authentic person that I was meant to be.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR MY NEW KNOWLEDGE

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the things that I have learned since I retired.

I have decided because of yoga to be authentic..............to be the person that I was meant to be. My mother tried to break me of this by telling me in these words that "I look like my father's family.  I act like them.  She will break me of this." She never succeeded.  He tried to bully me to break me.  He never succeeded. 

Thanks to the Almighty and the inner strength that He gave me none of this happened.  I went on to live an incredible life but didn't have the words to describe this.

Yoga has re-awakened the authentic me.  It has given me the words to describe who I am.

I am happy.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR SHOWING OBSERVATION

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have learned to be quiet and to observe.

I know when to speak and when to be silent.

The question is:   Is it true?    Is it nice?    Does it need to be said?

By answering these questions I keep myself safe.

I am able to enjoy my new life.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING CONTENT

I am grateful to the Almighty because I feel content.

I am not trying to be more than I am at the present moment.

I am enjoying the breathe and the moment.

Thank you.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE ABUNDANCE IN MY LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for the abundance in my new life.

He hs helped me to create a wonderful new life for myself.  The key is the word "myself" because I am no longer dedicated to everyone else's happiness.  It is time for me.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL TO THE ALMIGHTY AS THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES

I am grateful to the Almighty because my new adventure continues..............

Today is Shabbos and I will be at services atPJC later.  I am up early to walk because this weekend is the holiday of Shavout and we have a Scholar in Residence who will speak at our luncheon.  There will be a study session and lite dinner tonight until midnight and I will be there.

GRATEFUL FOR THE JOY IN MY LIFE

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

He has taught me to see misery in perspective.

His scans were fine.  He will return to his nasty self without gratitude.  I will thank the Almighty every day for the joy in my new life.

I am grateful for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR LEARNING "TO BE"

I am grateful to the Almighty because He sent me to yoga and it was there that I learned so many new and wonderful things that have completely changed my life.

I have learned to see misery in perspective.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty for the wonderful days that I have in this.....my amazing retirement.

I walked yesterday.  I practiced yoga twice yesterday.  In the evening we had our final Sisterhood meeting for the season.  We were entertained by an amazing country-western group. I enjoyed it a lot.

His scans are over and he has returned to his nasty self.  It's a shame for him that he has no impact on me.  I'm being really sarcastic.

Today the weather is brisk and cool.  I will walk.  I will practice yoga.  There are chores to be done too.  I have a book to finish.   It's supposed to rain later in the afternoon.  I have a closet to clean out!!!

Thank you Almighty for my wonderful life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for the new retired life that I am living.

He has helped me to create this amazing life.

I am grateful too that his scans were fine and that the Almighty will be there for me as I have fun for the first time in my life.

Thank you.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for my wonderful new life.

I took myself from darkness into the light with His assistance.

I pray to Him that it continues.

I hope that his scans turn out well so that my new life can continue.

Thank you.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING ORGANIZED AND STRUCTURED

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has made me an organized and structured woman.

Yesterday the older one used him as an UBER taxi to go to a friend's 40th birthday party in Plainview.  Tomorrow are his annual scans.  This gave him the opportunity to try and upset me.

Wrong!!!!   I have a wonderful plan.  I'm doing all sorts of things that need to get done.  I managed to walk for 2 hours before the terrible rain that was predicted.  I practiced yoga.  I went to Weight Watchers and had my weight stay the same as last month.  I hit the bank and Harmon's.  I texted friends.  I need to clean a closet.

It's not that I don't wish him well.  I just want him off my back and I think that I succeeded.

I'm very proud of me.

Thank you Almighty for making me organized and structured.

GRATEFUL FOR POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has made it possible for me to learn about positive affirmations.

I am a strong and capable woman.    I have looked at my new life and I am very proud of me.  I have made a new and wonderful life happen for me.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS

I am grateful to the Almighty because He sent me to practice yoga and I learned about positive affirmations.

Today I must tell you that I am proud of me.

Throughout my entire life I listened to the Almighty.  I prayed.  I believed in Him.  He has helped me become the person that I am today.

I am proud of me.  Through it all I have been successful.

I am grateful for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR DINNER WITH A FRIEND

I am grateful to the Almighty because I went to dinner with a friend and in talking to me she noticed how different I am and said that it's because I am free!!!!!

I thought about yoga and how one has to change one's outlook and see things from another perspective.  All this time I was lamenting the loss of husband and children.

I did not see this as freeing me from the binds.

I have changed a negative perspective into a positive one. 

I am free!!!!!!

I am grateful.

Thank you Almighty.

GRATEFUL FOR POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS

I am grateful to the Almighty because I practiced yoga yesterday.

The instructor spoke of positive affirmations.

I decided to include a positive affirmation in my meditative morning practice.

I am grateful to the Almighty for learning this.

Thank you.
