GRATEFUL FOR THE FUN IN MY LIFE



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

I am balanced.  There are chores that need to be done and then there is fun.

I cleaned the house this week and paid all of the bills.

Yesterday was Charlie's annual boat cruise from BayShore.  What a wonderful day!  I am so grateful that the Almighty chose this man for me!!

Today I will be getting a mani-pedi.  I will begin to pack for our vacation at Wildwood Crest.  I will be having dinner with Margie.  My life is like a dream come true!

Thank you Almighty.

GRATFUL FOR PATTERNS

 I am grateful to the Almighty for the patterns in my life.

Life can be very unpredictable.......that is true.  When I was with The Creature I always needed strategies for my survival.

Life is good now because there are predictable patterns in my life.  I feel calm and happy as a result of this.

This was expressed by Leslie in my Stretch class.

It was a really good day.  Margie took the class with me.  I had dinner with Zita last night.  Perillo came to clean out my boiler to get ready for Winter when Summer has barely started.  I read.  I spoke to Charles.....today we are going on his union's boat cruise.

Thank you Almighty for giving me a calm and happy life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR MY HEALTH AND WELL BEING

 I am grateful to the Almighty for my health and well being.

Today I woke up early and was able to take a Gentle Fitness class at my yoga studio with my friend Margie.  Tonight I'm having dinner with Zita.

I'm reading......talking to friends and breathing.  I was texted by my friend Lana who was my bestie growing up.....I was ashamed of what I married.  We haven't seen each other in 45 years.  I am grateful to be introducing Charles when we meet in Cape May on July 5.

Life is good.

I'm grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR MY STRENGTH

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

When I was married to the Creature, I used STRATEGIES FOR SURVIVAL in order to live.I'm doing that again with Hilary because she has been mentored by her "father" and has become the same type of person.

Today is Remi's graduation from Daycare.....Hilary has carried on with me about what to wear......when to come......where I'll wait for the car to come to take me home.  I've brought back all the STRATEGIES FOR SURVIVAL.

Today I will do my political act........it's over by 12:30 when I go home to resume the new life that the Almighty has given me and that I love.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR DRIVING OUT TO CHARLES

 I am grateful to the Almighty because today I am driving out to Charles with Matzah.

Hopefully Matzah will behave and perhaps I will be able to take him to the new apartment.

Later:

Matzah was very excited to visit his human daddy.  He was extremely well behaved when he got to St. James and to the Fairfield complex.  He did poop four times as we walked at Blydenburgh Park but we all had a wonderful time.  He saw 2 horses.....a lake that Charles put his feet in and ducks.  He had a blast.


Thank you Almighty for this adventure.
