GRATEFUL FOR MAKING CHANGES

 I am grateful that the Almighty has allowed Charles to come into my life.

This has helped me to begin to make positive changes in my life.

Everything doesn't have to be done quickly but at a leisurely pace.  I find myself being allowed to breathe slowly as I do my chores.

I am realizing slowly that Dana as betrayed me.  As the holidays approach  will send her a text confirming that she and Madalyn are coming or not.   I cannot continue to be an empath.  I must think of myself.

Thank you Almighty for sending Charlie.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE RESILIENCE IN MYSELF

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

It's been tough these last few weeks.  Dana's visit and it's aftermath were horrific. Then there were the phone calls from my brother.

I was hurled into a state of PTSD BUT I am slowly recovering with new strategies to use. Yesterday I saw my brother eating dinner by himself outside of BAGEL BOSS.  It was a short, simple conversation.......

Today is a great day to leave all this behind and travel with Charlie to Erie for the 100th Anniversary of Gannon University.  His friends will be there and it will be fun.

Thank you Almighty for my strength.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR REALIZING TO CALM DOWN

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me the insight into the fact that I must calm down......must stop believing in false dreams.......relax, rest, and enjoy my life.

Issues with my brother Stephen....or my daughters Dana and Hilary must be accepted if I am to live a happy life.

I'm getting older so that more R&R should be part of my life.

I have realized this and now I will work on it.

Thank you Almighty.
