Lighting candles, kiddish, blessing over challah and dinner.....what more could I ask?

This morning I'm going to services.

GRATEFUL FOR THE PEACE IN MY LIFE

 I am grateful to the Almighty for sending peace and contentment into my life.

Charles will be spending the weekend with me and I will be going to his home for the Thanksgiving break.

Never have I looked forward so joyfully and peacefully to anything.

I don't have a clue as to what we are doing this weekend. I have left the entire planning of everything in his capable hands.  I know that he loves me and that's all that matters.

I had my hair colored a beautiful shade of blue yesterday and also had a manicure/pedicure. I was so calm while doing this because I know that it will be looked at and appreciated.

Charles wants to do the entire Thanksgiving dinner himself!!!!  I am so happy that I could cry.

Thank you Almighty for the peace in my life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL THAT I AM LOVED

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

I am loved in the simplest of ways by Charles.  I don't have to work at it. I don't have to change myself.  I just have to be.

Charles values me.  He validates me and for this I am so grateful.

This has NEVER happened to me before.  I worked so hard to be loved. I did what was expected. I swallowed all the insults. I gave and gave and gave like the book The Giving Tree until I was completely depleted.

Charles is very much like me and me like him.

It's an easy and comfortable love.

I am so grateful to the Almight for being able to experience this in my life.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL THAT THE ALMIGHTY SENT ME CHARLES





 I am grateful to the Almighty because He sent me Charles.

Charles loves and respects me and has validated my life.

The weekend was a dream and I felt like a Princess.

We walked all over the main street of St. James.  We walked at Kings Park Psychiatric Center too. Charles made dinner twice and I treated him to Voila! a French restaurant in town!  We fooled around and talked and touched and talked and touched.

It was amazing.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING VALIDATED

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has sent people into my life to validate who I am.

I always knew who I was.  However, due to my upbringing of constant criticism I chose people who were negative and mocked me.  I spent my life trying to justify and explain meyself.

I don't have to do that in my new life.  I'm me and happy that the Almighty made me who I am.

My fiends validate me.

Charles validates me.

I no longer have to spend time justifying myself.  I know who I am.  I know my wants, needs, love and desires.

I am content in the moment.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE CALMNESS IN MY LIFE

 I am beyond grateful to the Almighty for all the calmness in my life.

When I wake up I remind myself that there are no strategies for survival that I have to put in place. I can just be......it's truly a wonderful feeling and I am grateful to the Almighty for it.  Yesterday was a beautiful day and I was able to walk for over 2 hours.  Today the weather is inclement and I don't have to rush out to The Home Depot if I choose not to.  My home is mine and it is safe.

My new sofa bed came yesterday as I am redecorating the den.  The black table will be placed in front of it. I'm putting sod floors in the den, living room and dining room.  Freddy will be here at 9:30.

Charles is sleeping over tonight to make the trip to Fandoule shorter. It's in New Jersey and he places bets there.  We are going to practice yoga and I have invited him to my Buddhist group tonight.  We had our first date on August 11 and have known each other three months!!

Thank you Almighty for placing calmness in my life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE BREATHE

I am grateful to the Almighty for the breathe that He gives me every morning.

It allows me to wake up to a beautiful new day.

Last night I won at Mah Jongg....$1.50.......where to spend this  huge amount?????

Today my new sofa bed is coming for the den.  Freddy will be over to look at it and the memories of that room will be gone and new memories will be made.

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

Thank you!!!

GRATEFUL FOR THE PEACE AND LOVE IN MY NEW LIFE

 I am beyond grateful to the Almighty for all the peace and love in my new life.

I am in love with Charles and he with me.  We are so beyond happy together.  It's like 2 puzzle pieces that fit together!!!

This weekend we went to Norman Levy Park in Merrick and then to Long Beach yesterday. We walked the boardwalk....dropped magazines off to one of his friends and met up with another friend.....all the while enjoying each other!

We watched The Undoing last night and discussed it at breakfast.

I practiced yoga, again discussing peace and love as related to the election of Joe Biden.

The love and peace is truly a gift.

I'm redoing the den.  Freddy is here to put down a new floor in the den, living room and dining room.

Tomorrow my new sofa bed comes.

Tonight I'm meeting the girls for dinner and playing MahJongg.

I am grateful to the Almighty for the love and peace n my life.

GRATEFUL FOR UNDERSTANDING CHARLES

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has seen fit to allow me to understand the different levels of Charles so that I do not have the need to break up with him.

He is indeed childlike.......his Id works overtime while my Ego and Superego are on positive drive. Therefore he needs to be told what he needs to do and I don't.

I'm glad that yesterday was worked out.  We discussed this and moved on.

Charles slept over.

Today he's on his way to golf and I'm on my way to a gt a manicure and have lunch at Rose's house.

It's Wednesday after all!!

Thank you Almighty for helping me to understand Charles.

I am grateful!!!!

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the strength that is inside me.

The entire house is upside down due to the problem with the electricity. I'm not happy about this at all!!!

Tonight Charles is supposed to come over to watch the election results.  I'm wondering what's going to happen.....very curious........not so much in love anymore!!!!

Thank you Almighty for my strength.

I am grateful.
