I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR NEW ADVENTURES

 I am grateful to the Almighty for the new adventures and new changes in my life.

I read my Meditation Books as usual this morning.  Today I read about how a person should applaud the new adventures in ones life instead of lamenting about the past.

I'm going to work on that and am grateful that I read this.

I will focus on my wonderful decision to have a second home.......an apartment out east in St. James with Charles......it's a great adventure!!  Tomorrow our sofa and cocktail table will arrive. OMG! Matzh has a medicinal bath tomorrow. When I pick him up we are heading to the apartment to see our new furniture and to celebrate the Creatures death.

I went to FV Cleaners to shorten the pants that I bought at Cindi's.  I went to the bank for new checks too.  I mailed bills and since Charles and I are going to Virginia next week....there is O food shopping so I went to Pasteria for dinner.

I am grateful for all my new adventures.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL WEEKEND

 I am grateful to the Almighty for the wonderful weekend that I had with Charles.

I ate Sabbath dinner with Matzah on Friday because after I spoke to Charles, I wanted to go to bed early so I could attend services on Saturday.

I thoroughly enjoyed services and the coffee hour after with my friends.

I drove out to St. James on Saturday afternoon and what a wonderful weekend it was.

We hung around our apartment on Saturday and Matzah got used to walking and running around.

We had incredible sex too!!

Charles brought in dinner from Uncle Giseppi and I made a delicious Saturday.

We went to Reymour and Flannigan and found a beautiful sofa and cocktail table which are coming on Wednesday when Matzah and I sleep over until Thursday.   We bought edibles in Farmngdale and went to The Wine Guy for Elizabeth's gift of 3 bottles of delicious wine.

I made a delicious chicken on Saturday with burned broccoli (Michael's recipe).

I came home today because it's a Mahjong night and we are having dinner in Golden Temple.

I am grateful to the almighty for the restful and relaxing weekend that I had with Charles.

GRATEFUL FOR LEARNING TO LET GO

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I am again learning to let go of that which doesn't serve me so I can heal.

In this instance....it's Dana and I need to let go of all the grief that she brings into my life with all her impulsive behaviors and I will.

This weekend I will be going to services and then driving out to our new apartment and spending the weekend with Charles.

I am so grateful o have Charles in my life, Almighty.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR REST AND RELAXATION

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has sent Charles into my life. It is from Charles that I learned NOT to be guilty about REST and RELAXATION.

It has been a very tough week.  Dana called all day Tuesday about her impending meeting with Seth and his lawyers.   The plan was that she would drop Madalyn off here Thursday night.....sleep over.....go to the meeting on Friday....sleep over until Saturday.  The hysteria in Dana was unmanageable and it took it's tole on me.    I had a "date" with Charlie to go to a PJC Fundraiser at Governor's Comedy Club and Dana and Madalyn sleeping over would be tough.  I was willing to do it.   Today I called and discovered that both Dana and Madalyn went to school and there was NO MEETING.  Dana lies all the time.  Had there ever been a meeting?  My heart broke because of Madalyn.

I needed to do shopping for my trip to Virginia next week so I went to Athleta and Cindi's.

Matzah needed another medicinal bath and I had a dentist appointment to fix my bonding and a cleaning.

Charlie slept over after the comedy club.

I woke up this morning exhausted.  I took the entire day for rest and relaxation as I learned from Charlie.

I am so grateful that the Almighty sent Charles into my life.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING STRONG AND RESILIENT

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

Matzah has a second medicinal bath today and I had a dental cleaning with Kathy and Dr. Kurtz fixed my bonding.

Everything turned out very well and I was very grateful.

I am working on getting Manny to pick up my fur coats as he lives in Plainview.

Tonight Charles and I are going to Governor's Comedy Club as a PJC Fundraiser.

Charles will be sleeping over.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all that He has done for me ESPECIALLY making me a strong and resilient woman.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I woke up to a beautiful new day.

Yesterday I accomplished so much.

I went to Athleta and bought and bought a bunch of new clothes with my points.

I cleaned.....I read....I spoke to friends....I spoke to Charles.

Today I'm going to Cindi's because I need new clothes for my trip to Virginia.  I haven't bought new clothes in years.

I will pick up Matzah's medication also.

Eventually I will return to exercising.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all that He allows me to do.

Thank you.
