GRATEFUL THAT THE ALMIGHTY IS LOOKING AFTER ME

I am grateful to the Almighty because He is looking after me.

Today was Shabbos and also the last day of Shavout and Yizkor. As I said the Yizkor service I saw that I was no longer angry with my parents.  I hoped that they could look down from heaven to see how much I have achieved.  I was proud of, as the Rabbi said, "My Resilience."

It's a rainy Memorial Day weekend.  Charles will arrive after Plainview Meditation....after 5.  I will also walk at The Home Depot.

Each day brought a wonderful experience in the SUV that we rented.

But, I'm ready NOW to throw away that which doesn't serve me and I'm very grateful for this.  It has helped me to move on happily with my own life.  I feel lighter as a result of what I have been learning.  I understand who Hilary is and am able to distance myself from her hurtful and rotten behaviors while keeping Rrmi.  I am able to keep Charles' help so that I can see Madalyn.

I made Charles a matza brie for breakfast this morning and we both remembered our little dog.  Charles will be at home today and I will be at the second Seder with Debbie, Marcy and family and Hilary, Izzy and Remi.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful. 

GRATEFUL FOR A LIMO SERVICE

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has sent Aaron back to me after that horrific car accident.  I am also grateful to the Almighty because I am physically healthy and emotionally happy.   Aaron was the owner of Aaron's Limo the car service that I took for two years after Remi was born and before I met Charles.

GRATEFUL FOR "PLEASE MAKE IT DISAPPEAR"

I am grateful to the Almighty because He sent me to Plainview Meditation and I am learning so much that is helping me with my PTSD.

I learned that we come from a sphere with no knowledge at all and as we live....memories develop.   Having PTSD makes it hard to eliminate the memories.   You must remember that your mind is a camera and the pictures in the past are false pictures that need to be eliminated.   You must say:  MAKE IT DISAPPEAR and PLEASE MAKE IT DISAPPEAR....SUP.   I tried that today and it is beginning to work.

I had a wonderful overnight with Charles at the apartment last night.  He made a delicious codfish dinner and then we went to CELEBRATE ST. JAMES to hear a discussion of women's achievements in St. James since this is WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH.

We got up early.......Charles to play golf and me to walk at The Home Depot and go to the periodontist.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all that He has done for me.

Thank you.

 

GRATEFUL FOR GOING TO PLAINVIEW MEDITATION

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He encouraged me to re-join Plainview Meditation.

The first time I joined with my friend Margie after the Creature died.....my mind was totally unfocused.  Now I find that I hear what the instructor is saying and I'm absorbing it.  Yesterday she spoke of the mind taking pictures.   In order to remain in the present you must understand the concept MAKE IT DISAPPEAR when your mind strays.  I tried that this morning and IT WORKED.

I will be going for another session today at 1PM.  Then I'm laving for an overnight at the apartment where Charles has an activity planned.

I will be back tomorrow to go to Dr. Ludwig....my periodontist.

Thank you Almighty for my new adventure.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

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

I am healthy and happy and awaiting this new day. Spring is in the air!!

My Passover preparations are coming along nicely.

I'm very happy with the help that the Almighty has given me.

Yesterday I went to Hama Sushi with the girls and then played MahJong.

Today I'm going to continue to get ready for Passover by shopping.  I'll also do some cleaning.  I'm going to Meditation and I will walk at The Home Depot.

Cleaning out the kitchen for Pesach means there is no food in the house so I'm going shopping too.

Thank you Almighty for all the good in my life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE CHANGES IN MY LIFE

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He helped me to make changes in my life.

So much has changed since I was with the Creature.  My entire house has been redone.

I took a chance on FaceBook because of my daughters.......met a wonderful man.....approved of by Karen.   I took a chance in falling in love deeply with Charles......got engaged....got married on December 16, 2024 and have been beyond happily married for over 15 months.

I took a chance planning a vacation to Greenport this past weekend.  The HarborFront Inn was wonderful......the dinners at Noah's and Ellen's were wonderful as was the Greenport Brewery and the winery.

Today I'm driving to the apartment and Charles and I are going to The Harbor Front Inn in Greenport to spend the weekend!!!

It's the first day of Spring. The sun is shining.

I'm so happy.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

 

GRATEFUL FOR WAKING UP HAPPY

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to wake up happy without the feeling of PTSD.

I realized yesterday that I put thoughts in my on head when I feel fear and anxiety in my stomach.....thoughts of my parents, brother and the Creature.

However I am in charge of my mind.

My mind is not in charge of me.

I put that to use this morning and VOILA.....I'm good.

Today I'm getting ready for my weekend away with Charles. I'm very excited.

I will be walking at The Home Depot, going to Plainview Meditation and to Kyra.

GRATEFUL FOR THE WONDERFUL MAN THAT I MARRIED

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He sent me Charles.....a wonderful man......and I'm married to this wonderful man and enjoying my life.

I'm back from St. James.  The show at Celebrate St. James was awesome...it was not only Irish songs BUT songs from the 70's that I could sing along to as well as dancing with Charles.

We did some errands afterwards....library to pick up books for The Sports Book Club.....Sports betting for March Madness and we we t to The Wine Guy because we needed to replenish wine at the apartment.

This morning I was on my way by 12.....to walk at The Home Depot....to continue Passover shopping and get a manicure.

I also continued to set up Pesach in the kitchen.

I'm having dinner with Margie at Marios.  I hope to read when I get home and then speak to Charles before I go to sleep.

Thank you Almighty for this wonderful man.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR AN ADVENTURE

I am grateful to the Almighty because in the middle of Passover preparations......I am going on an adventure!!!  

I will be going to the apartment to attend a St. Patrick's Day Celebration with Charles at Celebrate St. James.

 I will return to Plainview tomorrow and tell you all about it.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this fun day!

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR BEGINNING TO HEAL MY HEART

I am grateful to the Almighty because He is helping me to heal my heart and move on.

I understand our marriage a lot better than I did.   Charles and I had an amazing weekend.  We had a beautiful Shabbos dinner at the house.  I went to services on Saturday and made dinner after which we went to PJC to see The Wizard of Oz.  On Sunday Charles went to play horseshoes with the guys from Hollis and I was able to do some chores and walk at The Home Depot.  We met up again and attended the Academy Awards where I won a Trivia contest with Charles' help and as a prize I received a $25 gift certificate to a restaurant.   THIS IS A REAL MARRIAGE.......SOMETHING THAT I NEVER UNDERSTOOD!

Charles went back to St. James today and at 2pm I will have my first Meditation class.

Tonight is Mahjong and we will be playing at Rhonnie's with dinner at  Pasteria.

A new life has begun EVEN at my age.  I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR GETTING RID OF DREAMS

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has helped me to get rid of dreams that never materialized and to create new dreams for myself.

My life is so much better because of thi and I am so much calmer and happier. Last night Charles and I went to PJC to see The Wizard of Oz.  It was a wonderful evening.  I'm so proud of the man I love.  I'm respected at the synagogue because life changed because I believed in the Almighty.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A RELAXED SABBATH

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me a wonderful Sabbath.

I made a delicious Sabbath dinner last night.  Charles loved it.....salad...salmon and grilled vegetables.

I went to services this morning and tonight we're going to see The Wizard of Oz at PJC.

Gone are the days when I had to have strategies to be safe when I came home.

I am grateful to the Almighty for my life.

Thank you.
