GRATEFUL FOR LETTING GO

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has taught me to LET GO OF THAT WHICH DOESN'T SERVE ME SO I CAN HEAL.

He has taught me to live in the moment and that is a blessing.

I competed this week's Passover chores.  The last thing that I did was to create a pile of Pesach items that Charles will bring up on Saturday.  I'm proud of me.  I did my morning chores.  I read both newspapers and finished the book that I am facilitating for the Sports Book Club on Monday and am starting another book called, I Will Find You for the Yoga Book Club on the 19th of April.  I'm off to color and blow out my hair and will probable wind up at the Huntington Mall.

I'm proud of me.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE STRENGTH IN ME

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

I did not know how strong I was......but therapy has helped me to understand what transpired in my life to sap my strength.

Now I'm back!!!!   Dana was not going to move in with me and Hilary was not visiting me the day after both Seders.....not going to either........visiting non-Jews in Arizona and Colorado on this holy holiday.....

I'm proud of my strength.

Thank you Almighty.

GRATEFUL FOR SHEDDING THE CLOUD

 I am grateful to the Almighty because EACH morning I read my meditation books and today i read something that really resonated with me and I decided then and there to make it a part of my life.

I wake up every morning and there is a dark cloud following me......it has in it all the misery that I have experienced over the years.

Why is this cloud with me?  Why do I let it control me?  Why do I carry bitter memories and stories in that cloud to upset me?

It's over.......that cloud is gone.

I'm going to work on this.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING A STRONG WOMAN

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

Charles was leaving this morning when I told him my feelings about Passover.......so much hard work and no one to share it with.

I decided to structure my day cleaning and reading and I felt better.  I also decided to think of walking to and seeing the play Guys and Dolls at PJC with Charles and dinner with Rhonnie and Hank.

I am grateful that the Almighty made me a strong woman.

Thank you.
