GRATEFUL FOR TRANQUILITY

 I am grateful to the Almighty for the feeling of tranquility that I feel at the end of every day.

Yesterday was a busy day.   I cleaned both the kitchen and bathroom.  Matzah had to go to the veterinarian.  He has a yeast infection.  Chores had to be done. Bills had to be paid.  I walked. I read.

Today I will be giving Matzah a medicinal bath.  I hope to walk.  I will also be driving out to Charles because He doesn't have a vehicle and I'll drive him around.

Hilary and Izzy will be coming home from Holland and Dana is visiting tomorrow.

Thank you Almighty for the feeling of tranquility that I am developing.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING PROUD OF ME

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have finally learned to be proud of myself.

Instead of constantly criticizing myself....I'm looking around and I'm proud of what I see.  It was my Mother and the Creature that constantly criticized me and I'm looking around and I'm proud of me and all my accomplishments.

Yesterday, I cleaned, I walked, I got my flu shot and I went to dinner with the girls and played Mahjong at my house.

This morning I'm going to walk and get some chores done.  The doggie goes to the veterinarian at 2:40 to see about his rash. 

Thank you Almighty for your help in making me see the person that I am.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

 I am grateful to the Almighty for a new day.

Yesterday was a rough day.  I drove out to St. James only to discover that the cannibus store that Jane, Charlies and me were going to was right near the Walt Whitman Mall....and I didn't have to drive out to St. James.

I'm done with Jane as she continues to remind me of her relationship with Charlie and I'm sick of it.

I'm grateful for a new day to be in the home that I love and doing the things that I do.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE BREATHE

 I am grateful to the Almighty for the deep breathe that He has given me.

It helps to calm me in the mornings.

Spending the day with Dana was pleasant......no temper tantrums or eruptions.  We talked.....we sat outside and we even got to go to dinner.  It was late so I told Dana that she could sleep over and she did.

This morning I awoke to find that Dana had left early to return to Brooklyn because she realized that it's Wednesday and it's rush hour.

I spoke to Freddy yesterday and he will be over to fix my television.

I'm going to St James and Jane to go to a new cannibus store and then we will have dinner out.

I am grateful to the Almighty for the deep breathe that He has given me.

Thank you.

Yesterday after Charles left.......I cleaned the entire house!!!

I did 4 errands after that.  I put gas in the truck because tomorrow I'm going to St. James.  I went to the post office, cleaning store and PJC.

I'm home now waiting for Dana to visit to discuss her divorce.

Thank you Almighty for making me a resilient woman.
