No matter what happens to me, I learn from the experience and I move forward.

I am again beginning to text with my older daughter.  However, I have learned to say less.

One must keep swimming and learn from the experience.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR STRENGTH

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

Despite the difficulties with the two children (who are now 41 and 38)  I have managed to really enjoy my week.  It was filled with walking, yoga, friends, book discussions and errands before the holidays next week.

In many ways I feel free and glad to be rid of them.  I know this won't last.  They will be back but for now at times during the day it feels like a vacation.

I am grateful to the Almighty for my strength.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR LAUGHTER

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR STRENGTH

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

It is with this in mind that begin the healing process.

My older daughter, the now who won't give her child-to-be, my father's name was invited to our new co-op  four times this summer.  We invited her on a Thursday as we checked the weather before giving invitations.  She turned us down.  I said that we could do it in the Fall but after Labor Day I discovered that no one really comes out.   I told her this and she was furious!! Now she isn't speaking to us.

It's time for me to move on and let go of her and heal.

I am a strong woman thanks to the Almighty and can do this.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE MOMENT

I am grateful to the Almighty because by encouraging me to practice yoga, He has allowed me to live in the moment.

I have always lived in the past and planned the future.

Allowing me to live in the moment, allows me to be curious about the moment and accept it. It allows me to appreciate the moment and not to loose it.

This allows me to breathe.

As a result of breathing I can recognize that I did the best that I could do and that I am not responsible for the outcomes or the results.  It allows me to let go of that which doesn't serve me,  see misery in perspective and move on.

I can appreciate the life that the Almighty has created just for me.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING FOCUSED

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has made me a focused  individual.

It is my job to focus on the good in my life and not the bad.

There is a great deal of good in my life.  I need to continue to let go of that which doesn't serve me.  I could do it more easily if those girls simply removed themselves from the equation.  That isn't happening soon.   The older one is still angry that the co-op experience ended after Labor Day because I promised.  I didn't know that the co-op is empty after that.  She remains angry.

It is difficult to remain focused on all the good in my life but I know that the Almighty walks by my side and will help me.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING STRONG AND DETERMINED

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

While it is true that faced with a challenge I immediately become overwhelmed and perplexed, given time I re-group and know exactly what to do.

Such a challenge faces me today as the older one is angry that there is no October invitation to our co-op.   After all she turned down the four that we gave her in June and now she feels a sense of entitlement.  She also didn't like being invited on a Thursday for a Sunday an couldn't understand that an invitation was weather related.

Thank you Almighty for making me a strong and determined woman.

I am grateful. 

GRATEFUL FOR MY BLESSINGS

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR THE NEW ME

I am grateful to the Almighty for His help and assistance in creating the new me.

I am so happy with the person that I have become and I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Summer is winding down.  This weekend is Labor Day Weekend.  I will be going to services and then to to the co-op for the last time this summer.

The holidays will be arriving soon.  I'm approaching them with love and joy because I have let go of that which didn't serve me so that I can enjoy the spiritualness of the Holy Days.

I have leaned to listen and pause before I speak....if  I even speak at all.

I have been able to release myself from the binds and not to create new ones.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR STRENGTH

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

He walks by my side daily and helps me to overcome all obstacles.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all these things.

Thank you.
