GRATEFUL FOR NUTURING MYSELF

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

I have learned so many things.

I have become conscious of nurturing myself.  Last night I went out to dinner/book discussion with my Sisterhood buddies.  I had a wonderful evening.

I came home to order 3 new books.  I love reading.

Tonight I'm having dinner with BOCES friends.

I am enjoying my life and nurturing myself.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR LETTING GO

I am grateful to the Almighty for helping me to let go of that which doesn't serve me.

The past few days have seemed like a vacation as I go about my own life quietly and happily.

I have been to services at PJC.  I have been to the kiddish afterwards. I shop.  I walk.  I practice yoga.  I read.  I clean.  I have lunch with yogi friends.

I am peaceful inside myself.

I'm no one's target and it shows in my happy attitude.

Thank you Almighty.

GRATEFUL FOR MY NEW PERCEPTIONS

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have begun to see the world differently and I am happier for it.

I have really begun to LET GO of that which doesn't serve me.  I placed him in charge so that I no longer have to deal with them.  He can make all the decisions and I no longer will be anyone's target.   Whatever he says will go!!!!  

It's because I have LET GO that I feel this way and I am proud of me.

Yesterday I practiced yoga, walked, cleaned the house, did laundry and got to read my book.  They called to see how he was feeling.  I told him that I wasn't home and enjoyed my day.

Thank you Almighty for guiding my steps so that I have reached this point in my life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE SABBATH

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

I will go to services this morning and thank the Almighty for my life.  It has been difficult but I believe that now I am on a new road.  I will no longer be their target as I turned over all the decision making responsibility to him because there is nothing left to be done and I don't care anymore.

I feel so liberated.

Thank you Almighty for the Sabbath.  Thank you for all my new feelings and my life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR NEW INSIGHTS

I am grateful to the Almighty because of the new insights that I have had this week.

Life is not like school.  In school one studies and as a result of that one can do very well. I have tried to deal with life like that.  I have done the best that I could possibly do.  However, the results have been dismal.   This does not make me a failure as I did the best that I could do.  I finally realize that I am not responsible for the results or the outcomes.

I need to take care of myself.  I will use baby steps but I will get there.

I shall surround myself with simple gratitudes.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.
