GRATEFUL FOR LEARNING TO ACCEPT

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have learned to accept my life.

I have learned that when one door closes another door opens.

I do not try to change people.

I do not force things to happen.

I try to think positively about myself.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR PRACTICING YOGA

I am so grateful to the Almighty because I practice yoga.

Each time that I practice I learn something new which helps me in my life off the mat.

Yesterday the instructor spoke about listening for understanding.  It's a beautiful concept and I will allow myself to listen and pause  and not respond to anything that I don't want to or don't need to.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR WHAT I LEARNED

I am grateful to the Almighty because yesterday He showed me how detrimental it was for me to live in the past.  It was as though the past made a film right in front of me with the sister-in-law, brother and daughter.   I saw first hand that I needed to LET GO right now!!!!!

I am grateful that I have learned to live in the moment and be curious about it and to appreciate it.

Last night I attended my weekly woman's meditation circle.  It was beyond peaceful and awesome.

Thank you Almighty for encouraging me to participate in experiences like this.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE

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

The instructor said something that was so valuable to me as the theme of the class.  She spoke of freedom of choice to help and benefit oneself.

I never had freedom of choice because I was always doing and helping others.  It was never appreciated and all that it accomplished was being everyone's caretaker.

Passover is the season of freedom and I now am free to do for myself......to love and take care of myself.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR SELF-LOVE AND SELF-CARE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has sent me to yoga where I learned about self-care and self-love.   I have also learned to look toward the light and to keep that light shining within me.  I have learned to listen to what my needs are.

Last night we attended the first seder at PJC.  It was absolutely wonderful.  No longer was I subjected to passive-aggressive torture.  I was free to enjoy the spirituality of the holiday. I was free to pray.  It felt wonderful.  I was free to have light surrounding me and enjoy without having toxic stuff surround me.

I am grateful to the Almighty because I too am free after being in bondage for so long.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE ABUNDANCE IN MY LIFE

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

My intention is to create a new story and to take parts of the old story with me.  I will begin to enjoy the abundance of my life.

I began this weekend.  I was assertive with myself.  I vowed to enjoy the abundance of the Passover holiday.  I vowed to myself that I would live in the moment.  I would enjoy the moment.

It worked.

I smiled.

I left in the past all the things that I tried to do to create a family that loved and respected each other and observed their religion. I concentrated on my love for the Almighty and my love for the Passover holiday.  The Gita says that we all have a job to do and we have to compete it using the best of our abilities.  We are not responsible for outcomes or results.

It worked.

Thank you Almighty for the abundance in my life and for allowing me to enjoy it.

I am grateful.
