GRATEFUL FOR UNDERSTANDING MYSELF

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I am FINALLY BEGINNING to understand myself and my needs and wants.

I need to be positive with myself and to appreciate my accomplishments.  I can't be so hard on myself and I need to LET GO OF THAT WHICH DOESN'T SERVE ME SO I CAN HEAL!!!!

Today I will be driving to the apartment to meet up with Charlie and take a course with him.  I'm excited.

Forms need to be filled out and mailed and they will be.

The holiday of Sukkot begins tonight.

Thank you Almighty for all your help.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL WEEKEND

I am beyond grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a wonderful weekend with Charles.

 Charlie and I were at the Celebrate St. James Theatre Saturday night to see a wonderful presentation of Murders on Long Island.  We had dinner in a Spanish restaurant called Sangria.Sunday night we went to the Smithtown Historical Society to hear a lecture on the history of Smithtown.  In between we watched a Met game and a Yankee game and The Penguin.

Charlie really helped me to deal with issues with Hilary.  He said the same thing as Judith.  I am blessed to have him in my life.

Tomorrow I'm heading back to St. James because our course is starting.

I am so beyond grateful to the Almighty for all the good in my life.

Thank you.
