GRATEFUL FOR UNDERSTANDING MYSELF

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has helped me to understand my wants an my needs.

I read my meditative book today and it called all the sorrows that we have.......A HANDICAP.

I can live with that and I do.

I have a full life with family and friends.

I came home from the apartment to bring Matzah to the vet for his medicinal bath.  I walked at The Home Depot for close to 4 miles.  I went to Trader Joe's.  In the evening I attended a program at PJC on Antisemitism where the film October 7 was shown and we had dinner and a panel discussion with college students.

Today I will do some cleaning.....walk at The Home Depot.....then have dinner with Margie and attend The Sisterhood Book Club.

Thank you Almighty for my wonderful life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR FUN ON A RAINY DAY

 I am grateful to the Almighty for all the fun that I had on a rainy day.

I dreaded rainy days or snowy days because I was home with the Creature and I had to keep myself safe and secure.

But......a rainy day with Charles is wonderful.  We had sex early in the morning and then took a small nap........we read the newspapers.......we read our books for the Sports Book Club.......we caught up on 3 episodes of The Guilded Age and went out to dinner.   I was blessed to have such a day.

I went to services Saturday morning.  We visited Dan in the hospital and just enjoyed being together.

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