GRATEFUL FOR SUCCESS

It's November 16th and it's getting towards the end of the year.  I always take stock of my accomplishments for the year as I evaluate the positives and negatives of the year.

The biggest negative was what happened to me on July 31st.  However, that also became my greatest positive as it allowed me to move forward with my life and to eliminate those individuals that would be like a cancer in my life. 

The hurricane and its aftermath, although destructive and devastating, allowed me to focus on what a wonderful life I have in that I don't include him in most of my activities or thoughts.  During the hurricane, when we had no power, I was allowed to focus on the life that I created for myself and how much I missed it.  Nowhere did I miss anything that we did together and I had to conclude that I was successful in putting together a life for me.  It's not a lonely life, because everything that I do, I enjoy.


None of this would have been possible without July 31st.  In a sense then, this was the turning point of my life.

Even today, facing a weekend, where on Sunday we will drive out to Riverhead to pick up wine from my wine club, I know that in a heartbeat, he can destroy the joy of this.  I am prepared with strategies in case this happens.  I will be quiet when, as I'm sure it will, it happens.

I have been successful in turning my life around.  My mourning period is over. The WHAT IF'S are gone.  I am moving forward, a single adult with a quality life that I am prod to say, I enjoy!!

I thank the Almighty for giving me this success!!!!

GRATITUDE FOR APPRECIATING MY LIFE

Last week was Super Storm Sandy and my life got taken away from me.  As I tried to create activities to keep myself warm, I started to think about what I was missing in the activities that I do.

I realized that none of the these pleasures included him.  I realized that I had created a new life for myself and on that I was happy with.   I decided to end mourning right then and there and appreciate what I have.

Super Storm Sandy is a storm that I will always remember because it taught me to appreciate my new life.

Thank you, Almighty for making this possible!!!!

GRATEFUL TO THE ALMIGHTY FOR SURVIVAL

I am grateful to the Almighty for the life that he has given ME.   The choices that were poor were because of the generation I was born into.


THE CHOICES THAT WERE MINE TO MAKE WERE PERFECT.  I THANK THE ALMIGHTY FOR THAT!!!!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR BEING BACK AT WORK

GRATEFUL FOR MY LIFE

Thank you, Almighty for a wonderful day.   I really appreciate the life that you have given me.  I have learned so much.

I had a good day today.  I went back to Yoga and even got gas!!!!!   I have learned what is important and what isn't.  I have learned who is important and who isn't.

Thank you, Almighty!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR A LESSON LEARNED THE HARD WAY

I definitely remember and learned from what happened to me on July 31.  Today, the same girlfriend called to say that someone was making appointments for her.  Naturally he was a suspect.

I told him this.  He was furious at me and tried to confront me.  To my credit, I never raised my voice.  I knew exactly what he would say and didn't want to ruin my day.

I was successful.

Tank you Almighty for a lesson learned.
