GRATEFUL FOR BEING HONEST WITH MYSELF

I am grateful to the Almighty because although it is at times extremely difficult, I have tried to be honest with myself and let go of that which doesn't serve me.

This includes people in my life as well as events in my life.

I am doing well getting rid of The Triad.  However in this season of Pesach preparation it is really difficult not to focus on memories of how hard I worked and the way it should have been. However, through it all, the Almighty has given me the strength to prepare for the holiday and also to make reservations for the Seders at PJC.  It served no purpose to make a Seder for those who couldn't care less and were disrespectful.

I thank the Almighty for giving me the strength to do this.

I am grateful to Him for all that He gives me.

GRATEFUL FOR GETTING RID OF EMOTIONAL STUFF

I am grateful to the Almighty because it is now Spring and as such I  have begun the process of getting rid of "emotional stuff."

This is definitely going to make my life much less complicated.

It is going to be easy and will then give me a lot more free time.

I am grateful to you Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW BEGINNING

I am grateful to the Almighty for a new beginning.

I am happy.

I am healthy.

It is Spring!!!!!

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE BREATHE

I am grateful to the Almighty for my breathe and my being.

It allows me to pause and with clarity and insight decide what to do next.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE BEING AND THE BREATHE

I am grateful to the Almighty for the wonderful new life that He has given to me.

He has allowed me to practice yoga and it was there that I began to understand my core, my essence and my own truth.  It was there that I learned to fully appreciate being me and breathing.  It was there that I learned to let go of that which doesn't serve me and to appreciate the wonders of me.

I am so grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR LETTING IT GO

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am finally putting into place the concept of "Letting It Go."

Yesterday he decided not to speak unless it was very important.  In earlier years I would have asked, What's Wrong? and then to my dismay I would have discovered that it was Me.  This would have started an argument and I wouldn't have know what we were fighting about.

This time I Let It Go and had the most wonderful day. I spoke when spoken too but otherwise I enjoyed my day.  I attended services.  I went to kiddush.  I even got to walk outside for 2 hours and read 50 pages of my book and attend the play Milk and Honey at PJC without any drama.

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 going to services.

The snow is gone.

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

Today I will thank Him for my joys and bliss in services. 

I am grateful to Him for the breathe and for being and for waking up to a new adventure today.

Thank you.

GRATEUL FOR LIFE'S PURPOSE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He allowed me to attend a Restorative Yoga Workshop.  It was there that I learned about Angel Cards and The Book of Awakening that have become a strong part of my morning ritual.

Meditation, Yoga, the Angel Cards and The book of Awakening have grounded me everyday.

Today's card spoke of Life's Purpose.  My passion in life was to become a teacher and help those in need.  I feel that I have accomplished that purpose as I look back on all the students that I worked with.

The "key" word is work because it is now the time in my life to play.

As yoga says I need to achieve a sense of balance.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF LIFE

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

It was there that I learned to balance my life.  It was there that I took the poses off the mat and learned to play and work.  It was there that I learned to do the best that I could do BUT that  I am not responsible for the results or the outcomes.  It was there that I learned that at this stage of my life I needed both play and work.  I have always worked but have always felt that work was extremely important and play was for children.

It was at yoga I learned that I come first. I allow myself time to listen to other peoples problems but I don't become the worrier for their problems.  That is so important because it allows me to be and to breathe.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR MY RETIRED LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to be healthy and happy and  enjoy this wonderful retirement that is filled with so many new adventures.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR LEARNING TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am slowly learning to take care of myself.

I know it is a process and I am trying very hard to accomplish my goal.

I know that the Almighty is with me.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A REALIZATION

I am grateful to the Almighty because He made me a bright and intelligent woman!!

I had a tremendous revelation last night.

It is time that life revolved around me.  It is time that I was kind to myself.  It is time that I understand how hard I worked to get to this stage of retirement and it is time that I enjoy life for me.  It is time for me not to get involved in everyone's life and just enjoy my own.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful to you for this revelation.

GRATEFUL FOR USING YOGA OFF THE MAT

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am beginning to use my yogic principles off the mat.

This has made a dramatic change in my life and will continue to do so.  For example, I really think before I speak now.  I listen and I pause.  Then I ask myself:  IS IT TRUE?  IS IT KIND? DOES IT NEED TO BE SAID?   More time then not so that I continue to enjoy my own life, I am quiet.

I have also begun to look at the roots as to why I became the person I did.  This is helping me to change and take care of myself.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR STEADY PROGRESS

I am grateful to the Almighty for the steady progress that I am making to change my life.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR THE ABILITY TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me the ability to change directions.

I no longer have to be stuck in anything that I do.

I can move forward to enjoy my very own life.

That is wonderful.

I am grateful.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING ALIVE

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am healthy and alive.  I am ready to begin the days adventures.

Today I will practice yoga in two classes.  I will walk at The Home Depot.

I will do some errands and have tofu for dinner.

Tonight is the Sisterhood Book Club.  I'm going even though there is snow outside.  He will drive me and pick me up.

I am grateful to the Almighty for my healthy and happy life.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR THE CHANGES IN ME

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the changes in me these last few years.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL TO UNDERSTAND "LET IT GO"

I am grateful to the Almighty because in my study of yoga, I have found the reason that I found it hard to "let go of that which doesn't serve me" and kept trying to fix the situation.

I read in The Book of Awakening that we are constantly searching for something and therefore find it hard to "let go."  

In my case, it goes back to my parents and the way I looked for love.  They were the wrong parents to want this from as was the husband I chose.  The children were the same way.

Now that I realized this I can truly "let go of that which doesn't serve me"and live a fulfilled life.

Thank you Almighty for this realization.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW RELAXED ME!!!!

I am grateful to the Almighty because I feel safe and relaxed.  I feel this so much so that I slept late (until 10AM) and didn't go to yoga.

My intention today is "to be."

I am grateful that you are watching over me.  This has enabled me to find myself.

Thank you.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty for the beginning of a new day.

I am happy.

I am healthy.

I had a wonderful time at the Purim festival at PJC last night.  Today I will be taking two yoga classes.  I am registered for Joshua Greene's workshop on Yoga and the 60's.  We will go Pesach shopping later and out to dinner.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

CLUTTER, CLARITY, INSIGHT

I am grateful to the Almighty because it was the Almighty that sent me to yoga.

My entire life changed as a result of its philosophy and this enabled me to retire and to be safe and secure.

In this season of winter or darkness, I look inside myself and get rid of the clutter so that I have clarity and insight into that which I do.  I do this calmly as I let go of that which I don't need, that which doesn't serve me.  I recognize how far back the need goes to have these things and then realize that I need to move forward and appreciate my successes.

This is done calmly and quietly in the present.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this knowledge.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR STEADY PROGRESS

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to make steady progress with my new life.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty for a beautiful new day filled with all sorts of exciting possibilities for me.

Thank you Almighty for granting me good health and the wisdom to enjoy the beauty all around me.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR LEARNING THE MEANING OF "LET IT GO"

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have learned the meaning of "Let It Go."

It's not that I didn't understand the words BUT I did not dig deeper into their meaning.  What it means is that it is hard to let go because you either love something or someone and want that person to love you.  When that doesn't happen you find it hard to let go.

That happened with both my mother and him.

However when I realized this I was able to let go of them and be the authentic person that I was meant to be.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR LISTENING TO MY HEART

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has taught me to use my intuition and to make decisions that are healthy for me.

I am learning to listen to my heart.  

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR MY LIFE'S PURPOSE

I am grateful to the Almighty for the purpose that He has given to my life.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty for a beautiful new day and all the joy it can bring.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR LOVE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has taught me to love myself and to love the world around me.

I can truly enjoy each day because I feel peaceful inside myself.

Today I am to become a Reiki Master.

I am grateful to the Almighty for my life, my love and my joys.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR NEW ADVENTURES

I am grateful to the Almighty for each new day that He gives me.

I am happy and healthy.

Each day I create an adventure of my own choosing to enjoy.

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

Luis will blow my hair out.

I will prepare for my Reiki Workshop tomorrow where I will become a Reiki Master.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all that He does for me especially that He walks by my side.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR LIFE'S PURPOSE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He sent me the Angel cards and today they spoke of my life's purpose.

I am really fulfilling my life's purpose.  I see my life as helping those who want to be helped and I am doing just that.  I am really proud of me.

I have added something to my life's purpose considering all that has happened to me throughout life. Now that I'm retired I have redefined that purpose to add helping myself lead a fruitful and wonderful life.

I am doing that.  For example, last night I attended a Reiki Circle and this weekend I will become a Reiki Master.

I am grateful to the Almighty for leading me on this path and always being there for me.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR ABUNDANCE IN MY LIFE

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

Ever since I let go of that which doesn't serve me I have had an abundance of time to enjoy my life, have adventures and learn new things.

Today I will have time to do chores, practice yoga, walk at The Home Depot, get weighed for the month at Weight Watchers and attend a Reiki Circle tonight.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all of this.

Thank you.
