GRATEFUL FOR MY ENERGY

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the energy that He has given me.  This allows me to be an active participant in life.

Today I will practice yoga and walk at The Home Depot.

I have a book discussion this afternoon.

Thank you Almighty for my health and all the energy that you have given me to enjoy this life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL WEEKEND

I am grateful to the Almighty for a wonderful weekend which was mine and mine alone.

Yesterday I practiced yoga in not one but two classes.  I had lunch at the studio and participated in the Yoga for Anxiety workshop which was amazing!!!!!!

I finished my book and am ready to begin my Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide which will take me to the Reiki 3 workshop on March 4th.

Today I will practice yoga in two classes.

I will walk at The Home Depot.

Thank you Almighty for a wonderful weekend and the beginning of a great week.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW BEGINNING

I am grateful to the Almighty for a new beginning to my life each and every day.

Yesterday, after services, I spoke to the Rabbi to add something yogic to his sermon.  He was very appreciative and in turn asked me if I would help to plan both seders this year.

Today I will practice yoga in two classes.  I will participate in a yoga workshop called Yoga for Anxiety.  I'm very excited.

Where is he in all of this??? As usual, saying "no" to all suggestions and trying to create an argument. Where am I in this?  I'm very yogic.  I listen.  I pause.  I then ask myself:  Is it true?  Is it kind?  Does it need yo be said?   Then I continue what I'm doing.

I love my new life.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A MANTRA

I am grateful to the Almighty because yesterday when I practiced yoga the instructor gave me a mantra to live by.  Here it is:

ADAPT........ACCEPT..........LET IT GO!!!!

I absolutely love this because isn't this exactly how I changed my story and made myself content with my new life??  Isn't that how I retired?  Isn't that how I changed my life?

I am grateful to the Almighty for these words.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR THE JOY IN MY LIFE

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

I am taking myself down a new path.  I have a new story.  I will not be stuck because I have space and I have options and choices.  

That is the way that I live my life day by day.  The most amazing thing is that the week flies what with all the wonderful and interesting things that I do.

This week I meditated with the Crystal Singing Bowls.  I tried a new yoga class.  I changed my nail color to a deep purple.  I attended my Memory Workshop and bought new sneakers.

I practiced yoga this morning and Leslie spoke of adapting, accepting and then letting go of.......
That fits so well with my life that I'm going to adopt it!!!!!

I love my life because it's fun and it's mine.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE PEACE IN MY LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty because there is peace in my life.

It's not that the cast of characters has changed.  It is that I am not the person that I was.  I have become a real yogi and as such I have taken yoga off the mat and into my everyday life.

I listen and I pause before I speak.  I ask myself:  Is it true?  Is it kind?  Does it need to be said? Most times I say nothing and continue to be peaceful inside.

The result of this is that I have many wonderful adventures, read many books, practice yoga in many classes and workshops and generally I enjoy my life as I don't waste time.

Thank you Almighty for the peaceful feeling inside me.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR FINDING MY LIFE'S PURPOSE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He allowed me to use the Angels Oracle Cards and it has helped me find my purpose in life.

My purpose in life is to have joy.  All my life I helped to create joy in the life of others and now it is time for me.

The most amazing thing about the yoga philosophy is how it can be applied to real-life.

I am so grateful to the Almighty for encouraging me to practice yoga.

Thank you.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR NEW BEGINNINGS

I am grateful to the Almighty because each day I am healthy and happy.  I awaken to the possibilities of a new beginning for each day.

I am a work in progress and each day brings me closer to the person that I want to become.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR FINDING MY TRUE COLORS

I am grateful to the Almighty because I understand what my true colors are.

I have begun to get rid of false dreams and illusions.  It took time but of the three people, two are completed and I am almost done with the third.  Once I realized it, I know exactly what to do.  The process has begun!!!!

I am proud of myself and grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me this new day where I am alive and healthy.

It is a day for new beginnings and new adventures.

Yesterday I attended an amazing Restorative Workshop with the Angels.

I am grateful to be alive to see what adventure the Almighty has in store for me today.

I am grateful.

Thank you.

Later:   We saw the film Silence and went to dinner.  The film was excellent.

GRATEFUL FORBEING ABLE TO TAKE YOGA INTO LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has helped me to take yoga into daily living in my everyday life and make life so much more meaningful.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BREATHING AND BEING

I am grateful to the Almighty for allowing me to be healthy.

I am grateful for my breathe and for being alive.

I am grateful for using yogi and reiki principles daily.  They have helped to enabled me to be happy, health, whole and safe.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR ATTENDING MY FIRST MINDFULNESS CLASS

I am grateful to the Almighty because I attended my first Mindfulness Meditation class last night.  This will be a once a month class.

It was taught by the same teacher that taught the course that I took.

I learned something that in the end could prove to be very helpful to me.  Rather than obsess over anything one should ask themselves.....IS IT PLEASANT?  IS IT UNPLEASANT? when a thought comes by and then let that thought roll on rather than build on it.  GREAT IDEA! I'm going to try it out starting today.

Today I will practice yoga and walk.  There are errands to be done.

The plan tonight is dinner and a film.

I am grateful to the Almighty for what I learned in Mindfulness Meditation.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR MY NEW LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty because each day I awake healthy and happy to a beautiful new day filled with joy.  Each day I have adventures.

After walking at The Home Depot I will practice yoga.  

In the afternoon I will participate in the Yoga Book Club.

Tonight my Mindful Meditation class has returned!!!!

I am grateful to the Almighty for my new life.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR FUN

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has shown me what fun actually is and it's WOW!!!!

Yesterday I chose to practice yoga at two classes.  I walked at The Home Depot.  I read.  I drank coffee.  I smiled!!!!!  I made all these choices for me.

This is the way it is every day.  Fun, fun, fun!!!!!

Today I'm going to practice yoga and then walk.  I have a pedicure scheduled for the afternoon.  I hope to finish one book and start another.   I also need to complete my Reiki atunements. I know now what it feels like to have joy in your life.


I am content in the moment.  I am content with who I am.  I am content with what I have.

I am so grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have awoken to a beautiful new day.

I am happy.

I am healthy.

I will find the joy in today.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR LOVING MYSELF

I am grateful to the Almighty because He was the one who sent me to practice yoga and it was there that I learned the concept of self-love.

I have begun to let go of that which doesn't serve me so that I can heal and I have also begun to love myself spiritually, emotionally and physically.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR THE SABBATH

I am grateful to the Almighty because today is the Sabbath.

I am grateful for the peace and quiet of this day.

Thank you Almighty for all you have given me and all you have done for me.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL TO THE ALMIGHTY FOR THE YOGA PHILOSOPHY

I am so grateful to the Almighty for encouraging me to practice yoga.

The yoga philosophy has helped to change my life.  It is helped to change my way of thinking.  As issues come up with very difficult people a yogic saying will "pop" into my head and I know just how to proceed and exactly what to say or what to do or what not to do.

I am so grateful to the Almighty for encouraging me to practice yoga.  It has made me a new person and for this I am grateful.  It has given me a wonderful new life too!!!

Tonight is the beginning of the Sabbath and it looks like no snow!!!   I can attend services!!!

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR NEW ADVENTURES

I am grateful to the Almighty because He walks beside me EVERY DAY and has allowed me to have wonderful new adventures.

Last night I practiced yoga in a YIN-YOGA class.  I had never done this and I really enjoyed it. I came home to finish my book Karolina's Twins and cried at the end.

Today winter has produced a spring-like day and I will walk at The Home Depot and practice yoga.

Chores will follow.

I hope to see the film Fences today and go to dinner.

I am grateful to the Almighty for my new life.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty for being alive on this beautiful new day.

I am healthy and I am happy.

Today I will walk at The Home Depot.  I will practice yoga and do some errands.  This afternoon I have a manicure appointment.

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am healthy and happy.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR MY NEW STORY

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am happy and healthy and I have created a new story.  It is a story where I keep adding new chapters.

In this dark winter there is a light that is always shining in me.   It will shine there always thanks to the Almighty.

Today I will practice yoga.  I will attend not one BUT two book discussions.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR THE CHANGES IN MYSELF

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the changes in myself.

I see myself living in a calm and quiet world that was created because I am in harmony with myself.  I have changed a negative perspective into a positive perspective by positive affirmations of myself.  

I have learned to live in the moment and to be curious about it.

Yesterday we saw the film LaLa Land and went out to dinner.  I kept myself in the moment that I was in and enjoyed myself.

Today I will practice yoga.  I doubt that I will walk as it's icy and snowy out there.  I will walk at The Home Depot.

That's ok.

Spring will come.

However I will attend a yogi lunch and give one of my fellow yogis an atunement.

I am grateful to the Almighty for what I have learned.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR MINDFULNESS

I am grateful to the Almighty because He sent me to yoga and it was there that I learned about mindfulness.

Yesterday I applied the concept to my life off the mat and it was "WOW".

We had a snow storm yesterday.  However it didn't start of as one and so I attended services.  My friend was having a retirement luncheon.  When I left there was a mini-blizzard raging outside but I didn't panic.  I cleaned off the truck and came home.

I was in the house with him all day.  I enjoyed every moment because I accepted his personality and left him alone.  I read both my book and the newspaper.  I relaxed.  I meditated. I practiced being and breathing and had a glorious day.  I got caught up with my Reiki notes.  He never knew the change in me but I did and was proud of my ability to live in the moment and be authentic and accept that which I couldn't change.

This morning Santos came to shovel early.  I'm not going to yoga but will use the principles to enhance my day.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful that you are in my life.

Namaste!!!

GRATEFUL FOR LEARNING THE PURPOSE OF YOGA

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have learned the purpose of yoga.

The purpose of yoga is to still the mind or in other words to quiet the mind.

That is my purpose also.

I am trying to live in the present and enjoy each moment.

When I find myself in the past or the future I try to bring myself back.

I am grateful to the Almighty for learning this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR INTEGRATING ALL THAT I HAVE LEARNED

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have absorbed and integrated all that I have learned in yoga and am finally comfortable with who I am.

It's not that I ever had real doubts about me.  However, I was constantly judging myself.  Now I accept and truly appreciate the core and essence of myself.  I now know what my truth is and I feel a quiet and calm confidence surrounding me.  I have never felt that way before.

I am grateful for the incredible week that I had which began with Adult Coloring where I saw women that I haven't seen in years and realized that I wasn't like them, didn't want to be and was proud of me.  I went on to fully participate in a Reiki Circle and give attunements to two clients plus my husband. These are the pre-requisites that I need do before the Reiki 3 training in March.  I participated in a Meditation class this week and received my textbook for Reiki 3 which I must also read before class starts.

I am a work in progress and I am proud of me.  I really am proud of who I am in this world as well as my purpose in it.

Tonight is the beginning of the Sabbath. 

I am grateful to the Almighty for the realizations that I have had.
Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW PERSPECTIVE OF MYSELF

I am grateful to the Almighty for the new perspective of myself that He has given to me.

I had to take care of so many horrible things in my life that I had no time for myself.

Now I have time for me and I am learning what a wonderful human being I am.  I am finally putting myself together and shedding quietly that which I do not need.

Last night I attended a Reiki Circle which is one of the requirements for Reiki 3.  I so enjoyed it.  Today I am working with 2 clients as part of the requirement for the Reiki 3 course.  I am giving them atunements. 

Tonight I'm going out to dinner and then to a meditation class.  

I am grateful to the Almighty for allowing me to finally see myself for the person that I am and I am loving it.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A REAL AWAKENING

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have finally recognized who I am and I am very proud of my successes and accomplishments.

I am grateful to the Almighty for guiding me even though I was so unsure of myself.

It took a very long time but I have finally recognized who I am.

It happened last night at the Coloring for Adults class when I looked around at the Plainview moms that I knew and realized that I was happy that I was nothing like them and was proud of myself.

I had taken myself down a new path.  I had had a career that I chose, that I wanted, and that I was proud of.  I followed the rules of the time.......marriage........children.....house but none of that gave me the feeling of happiness that my career did.

It took so long to realize this because I had no support at all from my family or husband.  

However the Almighty was with me and here I am today.......proud of me.

I am embarking on a new endeavor today.........Reiki 3.  I have my first attainment after my yoga class today and tonight I will participate in a Reiki Circle.  All these are requirements for the Reiki 3 training in March.

Who knows where this road will take me?  However I am proud to have finally found myself.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW PATH

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has encouraged me to walk up a new road, a new path.  It is slow going however I am creating a new story for myself.  I am taking parts of the old story with me.  I am vowing not to be stuck.  I will create space because I have options and choices.

Today I will walk and practice yoga.  This afternoon I will get a pedicure.

Tonight I am going out for sushi.  I signed up for a course called, COLORING FOR ADULTS this evening.  It will give me free time to listen to music, have a beverage and snacks, socialize and color.  Big fun!!!!

I also signed up to complete REIKI 3.

All of these are new adventures and I am so grateful to the Almighty for them.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING A WARRIOR

I am grateful to the Almighty because He encouraged me to practice yoga.

I see myself as a warrior today.  I am looking back on 2016 for just a moment and then moving forward. I'm letting go of the story.  I'm letting go of that which doesn't serve me.

I am proud of myself and my accomplishments.  There will always be waves BUT with the help of the Almighty,  I am ready for them.

I choose with the help of the Almighty to have a good year.  I choose to use yogi principles off the mat daily. I choose not to be anyone's victim.  It is a choice and an option and I will seize it.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A HEALTHY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to live a healthy and happy new life.

It is now 2017.

I am grateful because I intend to put all of my energies into becoming the authentic person that I was meant to be.

I am grateful that I lived to see the day when I am able to take all of the yoga principles that I learned off the mat to use in the real world. 

Thank you Almighty for this gift.

I am grateful.
