GRATEFUL FOR THE ALMIGHTY'S PROTECTION

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has protected me throughout my entire life.

Yesterday was a busy day filled with chores and errands BUT with the assistance of the Almighty, I was able to accomplish everything that I needed to do.  I even had an appointment with Michael and Kyra.

I picked up my Matzah charm from Solomon's.  I will remember that little dog all my life and hope to see him in the hereafter.

Today is the beginning of the Sabbath.  My hair will be blown out by Louis.  I will walk at The Home Depot and enjoy the day.

Charles will be coming and we will be going to PJC for dinner and an interesting program to bring in the Sabbath.

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

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR TODAY

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has given me FEBRUARY 12....the day that THE CREATURE DIED and I was free to have a life.

So much has happened in the past eight years that I am so grateful for. I'm free.  I'm safe and secure.  I became a Grandma twice.  I'm married to a wonderful man.  I thank the Almighty because I am healthy and happy.

It's hard also because today I have to pick up Matzah from boarding and Monday I will be putting him to sleep.

However, I will live in today's moment nd celebrate my freedom.

Thank you Almighty.

GRATEFUL FOR DAYS AT THE APARTMENT

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed me to have 4 days at the apartment to think about Matzah and to mourn his up and coming death.

It's tough but I have managed to recognize that the quality of his life is over and that it's time to let him go.

It was a quiet time at the apartment what with the horrible weather.  Charlie caught a cold.  We talked, hugged, and watched television.

I am home now and soon will be going food shopping.

Thank you Almighty for allowing me to let go of Matzah.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL........THIS TOO SHALL PASS

 I am grateful to the Almighty because when I read my meditation books this morning, the Almighty wanted me to see two things:


LOVE YOURSELF!!!!

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!

I will miss Matzah terribly BUT putting him down is the right thing to do.

He has no quality of life and I will be setting him free.

Thank you Almighty for helping me.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR HAVING MATZAH IN MY LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has allowed Matzah to be in my life.

Matzah is going to be 15.  He has severe dementia and poops and pees without any understanding in the house.  He doesn't play or wag his tail.  He can't walk without assistance.  It is time to let him go to doggie heaven.

I am grateful to the Almighty for allowing him to live as long as he did.....healthy and happy.

He is in pain now with arthritis.   

He has to be carried in and out of the veterinarian.

I will be putting him to sleep on Monday February 16 at 3:30 with Charles.

I will truly miss him.

He is my best friend.

Thank you Almighty for sending Matzah into my life.

I am grateful.
