Most of all.....I am grateful to be me.

Life is good.

Tomorrow I'm on the road to Virginia!

Wow!

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.  

GRATEFUL FOR THE BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE

 I am grateful to the Almighty for all the blessings in my life.........my health.....my family....my friends......Matzah......and Charles.

I was able to practice yoga in Pam's class this morning.

I had my hair blown out at ID Salon for my trip.

Charles and I worked on a funny Thanksgiving art project.

GRATEFUL FOR THE WONDERS OF ME

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a healthy body and I'm rejoicing in what this body can do.

Charles is here and we are spending a quiet weekend together before our trip to Virginia on Tuesday.  I am grateful for this.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR WHAT THE ALMIGHTY HAS GIVEN ME

 I am grateful to the Almighty for what the holiday season has given me.

He has given me health, children, grandchildren and the ability to have them come to my house happily for a visit.  We will be celebrating the 7th day of Hanukkah together in my house and Hilary is even bringing a friend.....Tamar.

The Almighty brought my brother Stephen back to me and I hope the relationship lasts a lifetime.

The Almighty has given me Charles.  For the first time in I don't know how many years, I will have a wonderful Thanksgiving with a family that really likes me.

Thank you Almighty for all you have given me.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING BALANCED

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to become a balanced human being.

I need to do more though.  I practiced yoga in Hollie's class yesterday and she spoke of being balanced where you eat to live and not live to eat.  With the holiday season upon us I will try to work on this as a goal.

My periodontal appointment was a good one.......I will be going back on Tuesday, December 11 for a minor surgery to clean out a pocket of a back tooth.

I managed to vacuum yesterday and clean one bathroom. Work done.  I also went to the Sisterhood Winter Auction and got myself scented hand lotions and a scarf and gloves.... all told...I spent $24.

I was able to have a phone session with Judith and I scheduled another one.

Today I will practice yoga and walk.  I hope to get some chores done and start my new book. I will be going to ShopRite for groceries and my brother Stephen is visiting me.  Of course I will speak to Charles before his volleyball game.

Life is good.

I'm feeling balanced and happy about that.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING FLUID

I am grateful to the Almighty because I practiced yoga in Leslie's Stretch Class yesterday and it was there that I learned that bodies are fluid.

I am fluid and open to new adventures.  I had a lot of fun with Charles at the Smith Haven Mall. We went Christmas shopping for Sarah and I actually bought a coat at LL Bean for the cold winter days ahead.

I paid a shiva call to Zita because Richard died.

Today I will practice yoga in Hollie's class.  Wish me luck as I have the periodontist today.  He is checking one tooth.

Judith is back and I will have therapy today.

Tonight is the Winter Action and I'm attending.  I also have to give out letters so that I can get prizes for the Paid Up Membership Brunch.

Life is good and because I am fluid, it gets better every day.

Thankyou Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR ADVENTURE

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He is sending me on an adventure today.

I'm driving out to Charles after myYoga Exercise class and going to the Smithhaven Mall.....a place that I've never been.

Thank you Almighty for all my new adventures.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING ALIVE

 I am grteful to the Almighty because I am alive and healthy and He has given me a wonderful life.

Yesterday Charles and I went holiday shopping at the Walt Whitman Mall.  It was beyond fun walking with him and shopping.  We enjoyed every moment together.

We came home....had dinner....and watched Succession.....and went to bed.

I will see him tomorrow when I drive out to St. James and we go to the SmithHaven Mall.

Today I will practice yoga in Leslie's class.  Matzah is getting a grooming and I need to go to Ben's to order my Hanukkah dinner.......I'm having another party on December 4th.

Tonights dinner at Pasteria and MahJong with the girls.

It's a wonderful life.

I'm grateful for being alive.

Thank you Almighty.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a wonderful life.

My Pre-Thanksgiving Party was absolutely amazing.

Everyone got along and the day was a beautiful one.

Charles and I had sex this morning and it was beyond belief wonderful.

Today Charles and I will go holiday shopping.

It's a new life and a wonderful one.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR RESPECTING MYSELF

 I am grateful to the Almighty because Friday morning He encouraged to practice yoga.

My daughters especially are like their father in that abusing me at times is the way to go. Psychological abuse is the way to go for Hilary.......I'm beyond tired of discussing being tested for COVID 19.  As far as Dana, why must I look for crayons right before Shabbos?

I was feeling sad but the Almighty encouraged me to practice yoga. Leslie spoke of respecting and loving ourself and it resonated within me.......I WAS FINE AFTER THAT!

My hair blow out is beautiful.

I came home to walk, pick up fruit and I found crayons!!!!

Charles arrived and we had a wonderful Sabbath dinner followed by lots of laughing!!!

I did not attend services today as in the afternoon I'm having my Pre-Thanksgiving Party. Everything is set up for a wonderful afternoon.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE BREATHE

 I am grateful to the Almighty for encouraging me to practice yoga.

It is there that I learn so many things that help me to cope with the roller coaster ride that is my life.

I am grateful that I learned the value of the breathe.....the value of living in the moment.....the value of space.

Today is the beginning of the Sabbath.  I will not be practicing yoga today as I took 2 classes yesterday. It's raining and I won't be walking.  I need to pick up fruit at Happy Farms and crayons for Madalyn.

Tomorrow is my Pre-Thanksgiving Party.  Charles, Michael and my family are coming and I am delighted.  

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR LIGHT AND SPACE

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He encouraged me to practice yoga and I have learned so much that has helped me to grow.

I am grateful to the Almighty because the PRESENT gives me POWER and allows me to LET GO OF THAT WHICH DOESN'T SERVE ME so that I have SPACE to LIVE IN THE MOMENT.

The LIGHT helps me to appreciate the moment.

Yesterday I hung out with Jane and it was truly wonderful to make a new friend and welcome her into my home.

I practiced yoga in Hollie's class and truly enjoyed it.

It was like summer and I got to take a beautiful walk.

Today I will again practice yoga in 2 classes and walk.

I feel as though I have been blessed.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE MOMENT

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I'm learning how to appreciate the moment that I live in.

The moment gives you power.  There is power in the present.  As I look at the beauty of Fall foliage....I appreciate each moment.

I have Charles too to thank for my new ability to live in the present moment as that is where he is.

Today I will practice yoga and walk.  Hopefully Freddy will be able to come over and do some more work.

I'm making progress for Saturday's party.  Yesterday I finalized the dinner plans with Pasteria.  I checked out Happy Farms and will pick the food up on Friday. I bought wine, underpants for Remi and Hanukkah presents which I had wrapped.  I even did sone cleaning.  I'm breaking it down now into parts......a lot easier for me.

I spoke to my brother Stephen....then....Margie.....then Dana!

Jane is hanging out with me today....should be fun.

Thank you Almighty because I live in the moment or at least try to.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR LVING IN THE MOMENT

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He encouraged me to practice yoga and it was there that I learned to live in the moment.

I try not to let the past overwhelm me and I bring myself back to the present.  The past will generally sadden me.  I also try not to let the future overwhelm me because that can bring me anxiety.

I try to live in the present because that is where the power is.

Today I will again practice yoga in Leslie's class....it's an exercise class.

I have begun to plan for my Pre-Thanksgiving Day Dinner......today I will firm up the food I ordered, go to Happy Farms, buy wine and underpants!

Yesterday was a wonderful night of dinner at Pasteria with the MahJong gals.......and then MahJong!!!

I am grateful because I'm in the moment.

Thank you Almighty for this gift.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL WEEKEND

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He allowed me to have a wonderful weekend.

I went to services at PJC on Saturday morning.  Charles and I wen to hear Bobby Sings Bobby with Ray doing the technology while Bobby sang.  Charles and I danced.

Yesterday, Sunday, I introduced Charles to Shula and Ellie at my house......what joy I felt.

I practiced yoga Sunday morning with a new teacher named Pam.  I was at Notre Dame Church so Charles could give blood as Frank ran the blood drive.

Today I will practice yoga and get ready for my pre-Thanksgiving Party.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful for the life that you have bestowed upon me.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING BALANCED

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I practiced yoga in Leslie's class yesterday.

She spoke of the fact that each of us is balanced between being a WARRIOR and enjoying LOVE.

I am happy to say that thanks to the Almighty this has happened to me and I am so grateful.

Last night Charles and I had our first Sabbath dinner since the summer.  Fall, color weather and Winter will be upon us soon.

I attended services at PJC and Charles went bike riding.

This evening we will be meeting up with Anita and Ray to listen to Bobby Sings Bobby in Franklin Square.

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am balanced.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING BALANCED

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to become balanced through EFFORT and EASE.

Work has its place in my life and so does fun.

Today I will practice yoga in Leslie's class and Louis will blow dry my hair.

The work has been done for the week and tonight Charles is coming to have Shabbos dinner with me.  Summer is a beautiful memory and as we move into colder weather I will have my love to keep me warm at night this weekend.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR MY SENSES

 I am grateful to the Almighty because ALL of my senses are working and I woke up HEALTHY and HAPPY to enjoy a beautiful day.

Yesterday was amazing.....I ordered food for my PRE-THANKSGIVING party next Saturday. Michael accepted my invitation and Charles calls it a blended family.  I NEVER HAD THIS AND I AM SO GRATEFUL to the Almighty.

I cleaned the house, went to the post office and practiced yoga in Leslie's class.

Today I will practice Restorative Yoga in Peggy's class and see Kyra.  Freddy is supposed to be here at 10:30.

Life is good and I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR WAKING UP......HEALTHY AND HAPPY

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I have awoken......healthy and happy.

My arm hurts a lot less (after the booster shot on Monday.)  The house is warm as I turned the heat on.  Food shopping is done.  Stephen visited and I saw how far my life has come.  I read my book...spoke to Charles, Karen and Rhonnie.

Today Freddy is coming to Winterize the house.  H2O will be turning the sprinkler off. I will be cleaning the house and practicing yoga tonite.

Thank you Almighty for my life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR LEARNING THAT THERE IS POWER IN THE PRESENT

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I practiced in Dawn's class last Thursday and it was there that I learned that there was POWER IN THE PRESENT.

This statement changed my life and made my entire weekend with Charles absolutely wonderful.....from The Deepwell Mansion and Sanatarium to the Bar in Babylon to Sweetbriar to New Mill Pond.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.
