GRATEFUL FOR REALIZATIONS!!!!!

I am grateful to the Almighty for finally buying into the realizations that were right before my eyes!!!

I sat next to my friend at services yesterday.  We started to talk about the disappointments with our children.   I realized that I will not continue to beat myself up for the disrespect that my children have shown me.  I can feel it.  It can upset me.  However, it will not stop me from moving forward.  Since I don't have a spouse that I can talk to,  it was wonderful to hear my same feelings from someone else!!!

I walked yesterday for two hours.   I came home to have dinner and to continue my Passover preparations.  I read my book and listened to music.

All the while, I was thinking of my new mantra.  Although, I will continue to say my old mantras, this is the one that will define me:

LET IT GO!!!!  CHOOSE INNER PEACE!!!!

This mantra will define my life and help me to be happy!!!!!  I did the best that I could bringing them up.  I am disappointed.   However, this will not control the rest of my life which I intend to enjoy.

Today, I will attend my yoga class.   I will continue with my Passover preparations.  I will walk.  I will read.  I will go out to dinner.

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have finally realized in words what has been bothering me about bringing them up.  I can now move on.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this realization.

GRATEFUL FOR MY VERY OWN LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty, on this Sabbath, for my very own life.

Everything worked out at work yesterday.  The district that I wrote goals for accepted them.  The young lady that I will teach first period is lovely.  After that discussion with him,  retirement is out of the question for now.

Yesterday, before the Sabbath, I had a beautiful manicure done celebrating Spring.  It is white with flowers on three fingers.  I finished my book for the Syosset Book Club.   I also began one for the afternoon Syosset Book Club.  I downloaded a book for the Yoga Book Club.  I am set with reading for a while.  I was able to do a wash and also to watch the latest episode of PARENTHOOD on the computer.   All of this was done before lighting candles except for the television show that I watched before I went to bed.

Today, I went to services.  The Rabbi spoke of rebuilding your home and my friends looked at me because I have rebuilt my life.  I'm very proud of me.

I will be spending time today setting up for Passover.   Later I hope to walk.  My intention today is to experience joy.  I am going to make sure that nothing and no one gets in the way of that.

Thank you, Almighty, for giving me my very own life.

GRATEFUL FOR INFORMATION

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have all the information necessary to make informed decisions.

I had an absolutely crazy day at work yesterday.   I was seriously thinking of retirement.   I went to get my hair colored and blown out.  I decided to ask him to tell me the truth.  Would it be safe for me to retire with him in the house after all that he has done to me????  He refused to admit that he had done anything.  He was leaving he told me.  Of course, he never left.

I watched the entire performance, enjoying it because it gave me valuable information.  I can wait to retire, or if I decide to, I know exactly what to expect.   My life will continue just as it has, BUT, if I retire, I know that there will be confrontations that I won't answer.  Knowing this,  I can move forward with the decision making process.   I was very happy.

Today is Friday.  As is my custom, I reviewed the week.   I enjoyed it.  I was able to attend my Restorative Yoga class.   I went to dinner with a friend before the Sisterhood Book Club.   I had my hair colored and blown out.    I went to dinner with him after my information gathering.

I have gained 4 pounds.  It's time to diet again!!!!!!

Today, I'm going for a manicure before Sabbath.   I hope to watch PARENTHOOD tonight and read my book.

I am grateful to the Almighty that I received valuable information to be able to make informed decisions.

GRATEFUL FOR SETTING NEW GOALS

I am grateful to the Almighty because I know how to set goals for myself.

I need to work on not being so upset in the morning when I get up.  It's an emotional time for me.  Even though I say my mantras, intellect has not kicked in and it's hard to give up my old dreams.  Once I'm fully awake, the moment passes.

He knows nothing about this.  I have to smile because he also knows nothing about my life.   In this respect, I have definitely achieved success.

I hope to make this new goal happen.   It will take time.

I am grateful for being able to set new goals for myself.

Thank you, Almighty.

GRATEFUL FOR MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

I am grateful to the Almighty for the things that I have accomplished in life.

I am grateful that I am letting go of my old dreams and creating inner peace for myself.

Last night, I went to dinner with a good friend and had a wonderful time.  Another friend joined us later.   I had a wonderful time at the Sisterhood Book Club too.

I came home to read my book for the Syosset Book Club which is next Tuesday.

This morning it was beautiful and I put the dog on the deck.  He was delighted.

Today, I'm going to get my hair colored and cut or blown out.  I like the way it's growing, so I may just do a blowout.

I am grateful to the Almighty for my life as well as my accomplishments.

GRATEFUL FOR WHAT I HEARD IN YOGA

I am grateful to the Almighty for what I heard Dawn say in Restorative Yoga last night.

The philosophy of yoga is beautiful.  It has kept me afloat for the last four years and I hope it will continue to do so.  

Last night Dawn said, " LET IT GO!!!!   CHOOSE PEACE!!!!"   That made wonderful sense to me.  I really heard it.  It will be the philosophy that I use with everyone in my life.

I am so grateful that I went to yoga last night.

Tonight,  I'm having dinner with a friend and attending the Sisterhood Book Club.  Each day I try to do something that will make my heart soar.

I am grateful to the Almighty for encouraging me to attend my Restorative Yoga Class last night.

GRATEFUL FOR MY BLESSINGS

I am grateful to the Almighty for all of my blessings.

As I walked from my truck into the school,  I noticed the beauty of the day and was grateful to the Almighty because I believe that Spring has finally arrived.

I feel blessed because I have overcome all of my adversaries.  I have learned how to handle myself around them and that is a blessing.   It is not hard to let go of them.  The hardest part is that they are always in my face.  I have learned how to let go of him.  The daughters are a bit harder because I gave birth to them.  However, I will succeed, but at a slower pace.  I will have to be more grounded and aware of what I am thinking.  However, I am in charge of my mind.  It is not in charge of me. I will just remind myself of this if my mind gets caught wandering.

I am reading a wonderful book for next week's book discussion.   Last night, I firmed up dinner plans before the Sisterhood Book Club.  I also spoke to another friend about our television show, Parenthood.

Tonight, I have a Restorative Yoga Class.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all of my blessings.
