GRATEFUL FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL DAY

Thank you Almighty for giving me the ability to create wonderful days for myself no matter what happens.

Last night, we went to dinner in a little Greek place.  We saw the film WAITING FOR SUGARMAN.  

I took a great walk this morning for 2 hours.  Then I went to my  yoga class.  My Matzah went to PJC for a Celebration of the Animals.   I came home, ate breakfast, read newspapers and went on the computer.

I will be back at Absolute Yoga for a Restorative Workshop this afternoon.

I am having a wonderful day which is part of my mantra:   I WILL HAVE JOY!!  I WILL HAVE ENERGY!!!  I WILL HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!

Thank you Almighty for this blessing!

GRATEFUL FOR A BEAUTIFUL DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty for a wonderful service at synagogue and a beautiful day to walk.  It is truly gorgeous outside!!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR THIS AFTERNOON!!!!

I am so grateful to the Almighty for this wonderful afternoon!!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR LAST NIGHT AND TODAY

I am grateful to the Almighty for the wonderful time that I had last night.  What could be better than dinner with friends and a book discussion?  I even got to see a condo in a 55 and older community.

Today, my mantra is to have joy.  I will have energy and I will have a good day.  I'm getting my hair colored and cut.   I can take a ZUMBA LESSON from Sisterhood at PJC.

I do have to say Kaddish for my Father.  Today is the day he died.  I will remember him.  That is the right thing to do.  Many of the qualities that I have came from his side of the family and although difficult, it helped me to survive.

Thank you Almighty for watching over me.....

GRATEFUL FOR A DAY OFF

If I'm going to retire, which I can,  now that I can handle the triad,  I need to know if I enjoy taking days off.

Today I didn't go to work and it was wonderful.  I walked, read newspapers, drank coffee and went to my Yoga Book Club!!!

Tonight I'm going to the Sisterhood Book Club.

I am grateful to the Almighty for my life!!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR THE QUIET

I do not answer what I choose not to discuss and because of that it is quiet.  I know that if pressed to discuss what I don't want to, I can leave the room etc.

This has given me so much more free time.  In the beginning, it was hard to accept the quiet.  I have become VERY COMFORTABLE with it.  As a result of this, I am free to do many enjoyable things.

Yesterday, I got a very funky mani/pedi.  After dinner I went and I took him, because he wanted to go, to Candidate's Night at our synagogue.  I feel so comfortable there.


I am so grateful to the Almighty for my life!!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR SIGHT

I am grateful to the Almighty for helping me to see my life.  He must have been frustrated with me because all I was doing was hiding out in a school.  I didn't realize what a wonderful life I could have and the things that I could do.  I didn't realize that I had to "stop" teaching and walk out of rooms.  I didn't realize that I wasn't obligated to do holidays for non-believers.   I didn't realize that it was time to put "ME" first.

NoW I SEE THAT!!!!!   I CAN RETIRE AND HAVE A LIFE!!!.

With this in mind, I sat in my office today, happily working.  I accomplished a lot. However, the most important thing that I accomplished was knowing when the ending would happen.

I don't know what adventures I will have as the years go by. However, I do know that I am ready for them.

I am grateful to the Almighty for not giving up on me and helping me to see myself for who I am.
