GRATEFUL FOR LEARNING TO LOVE MYSELF

 I am grateful to the Almighty because with His help I am learning to love myself.

I now wake up and think about three things that I am grateful for.

I think about what I am grateful for that happened to me the day before.

I then move forward with my day.

Thank you Almighty.

GRATEFUL FOR WAKING UP WITH A SMILE

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to wake up with a smile.

I'm trying something new.

Instead of thinking about the past when I wake up and then my stomach gets upset, I'm trying to wake up and think about the Present and the Future an Smile.

So far it is working.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has chosen to give me another day.

Another day to be free....another day to be safe....another day to be secure.....another day not to have strategies for survival.

I need to remember this so that I don't wake up afraid in the morning from PTSD. 

Today I will be going to the dentist.  I might walk and get a manicure.  It's pouring outside.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.


P.S.   I have to go back to Dr. Kurtz because my implants are loose.....he said that it's probably a screw that he may need to replace.  Never a dull moment.

GRATEFUL FOR LOVEI

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has sent me Charles who is as in love with me as I am with him.

Our The Story of the Hebrews class was canceled so I was able to get to CVS, the Wine Store and walk in The Home Depot.

Matzah received his medicinal bath and it's a nice quiet day.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful

GRATEFUL FOR THE CALMNESS IN MY LIFE

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed my life to become very calm.

Today would have been the Creature's 78 birthday.   I would have been looking for places to hide in order to be safe and secure.   I would have had to have strategies for survival.

Instead the Almighty has gifted me with the Sabbath.....services at PJC and Charles soon to be my husband.

We will be going to a Benefactors Reception at Adelphi tonight.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all of this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a new day.....a day of adventures and joy.

I am happy and healthy even though I've got this horrible cold.

Today is a quiet day and I'm glad.  I only ave to get my hair blown out and I can read and have peace and quiet the rest of the day.  Manny will be delivering my fur coat here and for this I am grateful.

Yesterday was a super busy day filled with Dom's phone call, the post office, CVS, the butcher, getting gas, having the car washed, a manicure and cleaning jewelry.

Thank you Almighty for this new day.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR CENTERING MYSELF

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He is beginning to teach me to center myself so that I can be comfortable in my own skin.

I have decided to stop playing Mahjong for a bit.  The girls made fun of me when I told them that I'm getting married.....they would never do that!!  They also don't want to play at my house anymore because I don't want to play after 9:30.  I also dislike where they go to eat.  

I did it for years because I had nothing else.  It's the same way that I kept too much money in Chase bank because there was no one in my life.

Now there's Charles.  I'm in love.  We're getting married before the end of the year.  Yesterday we took Ian's class on The Book of Hebrews.  I enjoy that class very much!  I will be looking into other things to do.....another book club......a memory workshop.  I'm too bright to just waste away!!  We also have an appointment with Charles's lawyer for his pre-nuptial.

Thank you Almighty for helping me to center myself.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NORMAL DAY

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a very normal day.

Yesterday I voted and then picked Matzah up from Plainview Animal. Charles came over and together we went to Joseph Meares, my attorney, to begin the pre-nuptial process. We had lunch at the house and then went to Anita's where we found Ray mowing the lawn. We visited and then came home.

I walked.....and watched the Presidential Election Day results. Trump won!   OMG!  As I was doing this I cleaned the house.


Today I'm up and ready to start the day.  I will be going with Charles to Stonybrook to continue our course on The Book of Hebrews.

I hope to walk too.

I am grateful to the Almighty for normal days.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR UNDERSTANDING MYSELF

I am grateful to the Almighty because e has helped me to understand myself and what happened to me.

This has been a great help to me because as I celebrate the joy of my new life....it is tempered by memories of the old....memories that I see before me BUT don't hold on to.

Today I will vote for Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States. I'm very very excited to do this.  I will pick up doggie from Plainview Animal and then head to Joseph Meares with Charles to begin the pre-nuptial process.

Thank you Almighty for helping me to understand myself.
