GRATEFUL FOR THE EVOLVING NEW ME!!!!

I am grateful to the Almighty because I continue to evolve into the new me.

I came home yesterday and in a quiet voice, I spoke to him about the status of our married life and let him know that when I retire I will not allow him to abuse me and I will meet his nasty statements with calm and quiet.

I then went to walk outside because it was a beautiful day.

After lighting candles and serving Shabbos dinner,  I finished my book.

This morning we had a time warp Shabbos service.   The cantor wasn't there so that services went very quickly and I was home by 11:30.   I did not have to explain why I was home early as he isn't home!!!!!

I signed up for a Reiki Workshop today.   I hope to walk either indoors or outside depending on the weather.  I will read the newspapers and enjoy the day.

Tonight  I rented a Netflix film.

Thank you, Almighty for this new evolving me.


Later-   The Reiki Workshop was awesome.  I was able to walk for 2 hours today, in between the drops.  I'm going to evening services because a friend asked me to.  He has a Yurtzart for his dad.  I will still watch  THE BAD SEED when I come home.

GRATEFUL FOR FINDING MY VOICE

I am grateful to the Almighty because in a quiet way I have found my voice.

It is important for him to know that when I retire my intention is to live a joyful life filled with activities that I enjoy.   I know that he will try to upset me.   I know that it won't happen.  I am not the same person that I was.  I just felt the need to express it.

I was proud of me.

Today is Friday.   

I'm excited because I have a wonderful weekend planned.

Thank you, Almighty for helping me to find my voice. 

GRATEFUL FOR MY NEW LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for my new life.

I so enjoy it!!!

Last night, I attended a wonderful Leslie Yoga Class and I told her how much she has taught me through what she says.

I came home to dinner with him.  All he does is re-live the past and I told him that he needs to find activities in the present.  What I didn't say was that I live in the present and don't want to hear again and again about the past.

I was able after dinner to text friends.  I made dinner plans for next week.   I was able to read my book for the Sisterhood Book Club.

I went to sleep happy and relaxed and grateful to the Almighty for the new me!!!!!

Today I went to my Memory Workshop.   It was an enjoyable experience.  It was amazing also that I walked at school, BUT, the workshop was over early and I was able to walk for another hour outside.  I called friends as I walked.

I came hone to text friends.   I made dinner. 

Tonight, I will read my book.

I am so grateful to the Almighty for my new life which I might add has become my life.

GRATEFUL FOR SEEING MYSELF IN PERSPECTIVE

I am grateful to the Almighty because I finally see my life in perspective.

I see how far I have come.  I am delighted with myself.

I got up to go to work today happily.   I was delighted with all of my successes during the Passover holiday.

I couldn't help but look at all the things that I did that I so love.  I went to services, book clubs, yoga classes, reiki classes, new classes, walking and listening to music among other things.............

He was his usual unfriendly self this morning.  I imagine that he was jealous because  I was going to work. However, he makes no attempt to have a life of his own.  His aim is to bully me.  His sadness is that he can't.  It's over.

I celebrated the end of Passover by drinking DD coffee in the car before work.  Butter Pecan is the best.

Today I will attend Leslie's Level 1 class.  I will have salmon and salad for dinner.  I will walk I will read.

I am grateful to the Almighty for His help in letting me see the wonders of my life.

GRATEFUL FOR HOW FAR I'VE COME

I am so grateful to the Almighty because I have come so far.

Passover was over tonight and so we had to change the house back.  

I had worked very hard this holiday.

There wasn't a compliment around. 

What he did try to do was pick a fight.

I amazed myself because I LET IT GO!!!   IT DIDN'T SERVE ME TO BE ANGRY.

I'm sure this must have upset him a great deal.

What was more amazing was the way in which I have moved forward.  I know him.  I know what he is.  He is background noise.

I'm proud and amazed.

Thank you, Almighty for having faith in me.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY

I am grateful to the Almighty because today is the last day of Passover and I have had a wonderful holiday.

I let go of that which didn't serve me and as a result I have experienced joy. For example, today I answered the older one's text message which she sent yesterday.  It was a silly text and didn't deserve a quick response.   I have learned to detach and I am happier for it.

I did many wonderful things during this holiday/vacation and each one made my heart soar.

Today I went to services. I was able to chat with all of my friends.  One friend needed advice and I was happy to give it.  Another ordered a book for me at the library.

 After that I attended my book club where we discussed, THE HOUSE SLAVE.  Now I'm putting away Passover things and I'm going to walk for two hours.  How perfect is that????

I have already packed the car for work tomorrow.

Thank you, Almighty for a wonderful holiday. 

GRATEFUL THAT IT IS THE SEVENTH DAY OF PASSOVER

I am grateful to the Almighty because this is the seventh day of Passover.

I am getting ready to go to services.

It has been a wonderful holiday.

Today is a beautiful day and I will be able to do so many things that I love.

Thank you, Almighty for this glorious day!!!!
