GRATEFUL FOR MY RESILENCE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He saw fit to make me a resilient woman.

I am a schedule daily of things to do during Covid 19. 

I am now getting ready for Pesach.  I've done my shopping and although I will be having Seder by myself, it will be a joyous one.  I have the tape that Cantor Wolk made for me so many years ago that I love and cherish.

I will enjoy singing each piece.   No one will mock me.  No one will tease.  No one will psychologically abuse me.  There will just be peace and calmness.

Thank you Almighty for making me a resilient woman.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR MY STRENGTH

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

I am getting through this Coronavirus one day at a time.

Yesterday my major activity was to go to Fairway.  There was almost no one in the streets or in the store.  I got what I needed.  I put gas in the truck and home I went.

Today my major activity is to clean the house.

I'm healthy.

I'm safe.

I'm grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR MY HEALTHY LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for my healthy life.

Today is the Sabbath.  My abuser is gone and I can breathe.

Living through the Coronavirus is horrific.  Yet I am at peace because no one is alive to abuse me. There are no strategies for survival.  There is no psychological abuse.   It's just me and Matzah.  The house is my home.  I don't have to escape from it.

I walk with friends.  I chat with neighbors.  My family is on FaceTime with me.  I read.  I watch television.  I talk to friends on the phone.

It's quiet.

It's peaceful.

In the middle of a Pandemic I'm safe.  That's how bad it was and how good it is now.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.
