GRATEFUL FOR THE BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE

I am grateful that the Almighty is watching over me and has given me a wonderful new life.

He has given me an abundance of blessings.

When "bad" things happen to me, the Almighty helps me grieve and move forward so that I can create "good" out of the "bad."

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful and hope that you will always be there for me.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty for giving me a wonderful day.

I am a quiet and calm person now.  As a result of this I have so much time to enjoy life.

I walked yesterday.  I practiced yoga.  I had a manicure/pedicure for the upcoming High Holy Days.  I went to the library.

I learned in yoga to SURRENDER.  It is only then that one can begin to ACCEPT and then to LET GO OF THAT WHICH DOESN'T SERVE THEM SO THEY CAN HEAL.

Last night I attended the second session of my course:  MINDFUL MEDITATION and STRESS  REDUCTION.  It was awesome.  I am learning to live in the present moment.

I am grateful to the Almighty for a wonderful day.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR STRENGTH AND BALANCE

I am grateful to the Almighty for the strength He has given to me.

There will always be waves.  However I am able to balance because I am a strong and determined woman.  I know how to pause.  I balance effort and ease.  I try to be grounded so I can grow.  I try to be centered so that I can be grounded and grow.

There will always be misery in my life.  However I am grateful to the Almighty for the breathe and for being.  This has allowed me to move forward.  I am grateful that He has taught me to see misery in perspective.

Thank you Almighty for all the blessings that you have given me.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR GOING WITH THE FLOW

I am grateful to the Almighty because I practiced yoga yesterday and the instructor spoke of "going with the flow."  She spoke of what the universe wants...........

I have always fought against this.

I see now that I must accept that which I cannot change if I am truly to be healthy and happy.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IN YOGA

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has sent me to yoga.

Yoga has made an amazing difference in my life.  I have taken what I have learned in yoga off the mat into my life and it has made a tremendous difference in me.  There is a content feeling in me as I try not to judge the moment and accept that which I cannot change.

Thank you Almighty for helping me adjust life and to be able to see misery in perspective.

I am grateful.

I love walking in the morning.  I love yoga.  I love all the workshops that I take.  I love the book clubs............and on and on.

Thank you Almighty for my amazing new life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE SABBATH

I am grateful to the Almighty because I can just "be" and reflect on the wonderful life that He has helped me to create.

I will attend services at PJC and reflect on the wonderful week that I have had.

What a wonderful week it was!!!  I had lunch with yogi friends.  I had dinner with a BOCES friend.  I started my MINDFULNESS course.   I attended SISTERHOOD BINGO, had fun and won two prizes.   I enjoyed the YOGA BOOK CLUB!!

Thank you Almighty for a wonderful week.  

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR MINDFULNESS

I am grateful to the Almighty because He lead me to the Mindfulness course that I am taking.

I am trying very hard to live in the moment, but more important, not to judge the moment.

I have done a Body Scan and found it to be extremely relaxing.  It helped me to understand and to focus on the moment without judging it.

I am trying very hard to take care of myself.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR BEGINNING A MINDFULNESS COURSE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He sent me to yoga and I have learned so much!!

I am taking a MINDFULNESS MEDITATION AND STRESS REDUCTION CLASS for the next eight weeks.  I have already learned NOT TO JUDGE THE PRESENT!!!!!

We have to do a BODY SCAN as MEDITATION DAILY.

I am so happy that I did this.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW STORY

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has helped me to begin a new path in my life.

It is a new story for me.  Each day I make changes and tweak it a bit.

I am changing old habits and behaviors.

It is slow going and of course I take some of the old story with me. I realize that the new story will never be complete because I am always going to be in a state of change and transition.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING INTELLIGENT AND DETERMINED

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has made me a very intelligent and determined woman.

I began to realize that when I am with him I am not accepting him as he is.  I find myself "making corrections." 

How can I ACCEPT and ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACTS and LET GO OF THAT WHICH DOESN'T SERVE ME if I keep making corrections????  How can I LET HIM GO ??

It is time to change myself, the only one that I can change.

I will LET HIM GO LIKE A CLOUD and ACCEPT what is in front of me.

That will HELP ME HEAL.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE ABILITY TO PROBLEM SOLVE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me the ability to problem solve.

I will continue to let go of that which doesn't serve me. 

It doesn't pay for me to get rid of him but I must continue to accept what he is.  I must remind myself of this continually so I am not caught in his web and hurt by his personality.  I also cannot get caught in comparing him to other men.  That will only bring me depression.  I cannot show him how happy I am............EVER!!!!  That will only ignite his desire to ruin something for me.   LESS IS MORE!!!!!  It may not be a marriage, but my strategies will work to give me peace and quiet around him.

Now that I have put this into words, its definitely can be done.

Thank you Almighty for giving me a wonderful problem solving ability.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR HOW FAR I'VE COME

I am grateful to the Almighty for the many changes I have made in myself in the last four years. I am grateful that He has always been there to help and guide me.

I looked at some of my older entries yesterday and saw for my own eyes the growth in myself.

I'm proud of me.

Thank you Almighty.  

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR "GRIEF"

I am grateful to the Almighty for the infamous day, July 31, 2012.

I was grief stricken on that day.

However that grief helped me to change and transition into the person that I am today.  All the new experiences, friendships, adventures occurred because of that infamous day.

I am a new person as a result of it.

I am grateful that the Almighty was so frustrated with me that He had this happen.

It has truly transformed me.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE BREATHE

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am alive.  I am healthy and happy and really enjoying my retired life.

Thank you Almighty.

GRATEFUL FOR OPTIONS AND CHOICES

I am grateful to the Almighty for showing me that there are options and choices available to me.

I am not stuck.  I have created space.

I have created new habits and patterns.

I have created a new life.

It is a very balanced life filled with effort and ease.  I know that life has waves so each day I am centered and grounded so that I can grow. 

I life life through effort and ease.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you!!

GRATEFUL FOR MY NEW LIFE

However there is always change and transition.

Summer was wonderful BUT real life returns.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR MY STRENGTH

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has made me a strong and capable woman.

Yesterday I unpacked everything in the new co-op.   The only thing left to do is bring a light bulb and hang the mezuzahs.

We can spend individual days there occasionally until the High Holidays BUT no more packing to go out east.

Today I will return to Shabbos in my own home and tomorrow I will go to services at PJC.

Thank you Almighty for a good summer.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL THAT THE ALMIGHTY IS WITH ME

I am grateful on this Friday and this Labor Day Weekend that the Almighty walks beside me.

My periodontal checkup was a success!!

I responded to people that he wanted me to meet in the same way he responds to my people.  I was proud of me and told him that this is why we should have separate people.  I have really changed.

My summer was a huge success filled with walking, yoga, workshops, book clubs and parties, books, friends and going out east.  

I have managed to begin to set up for the High Holy Days.  Tickets have been purchased. Sisterhood has been joined.  Donations have been made.  Food was purchased. Clothes were bought.  I bought a new pocketbook and makeup too!!!

The condo will be sold and the co-op purchased.   This will give me opportunities to be independent.

This is the last Labor Day Weekend at the condo.

Next week I will return to the core of me.  I will return to the life that I love.  I am so happy.

I am grateful to the Almighty for standing with me.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR RETURNING TO THE CORE

I am grateful to the Almighty because this coming weekend is Labor Day Weekend which signifies the end of summer.  This will be the last weekend that we will ever spend in the condo. We have bought a co-op in Westhampton Beach.

I am grateful that summer is coming to a close.  I never felt like that BUT I have created a wonderful life for myself in my hometown  and I will be returning to it.

I have worked very hard to change habits and patterns and create new ones.

I am grateful to be returning to the essence of who I am and to the life that I love.

I will be going to the periodontist today to check an implant.  Hopefully nothing is wrong.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.
