GRATEFUL BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND PERSPECTIVE

I am grateful to the Almighty because I have learned through yoga the meaning of perspective.

There are things that I could become depressed about. However, when balanced against all that is good in my life, I can see things in perspective and that helps me to deal with difficulties.

Today I walked for my usual two hours.

I went to the Lunch and Learn at PJC and really enjoyed it.

I will be reading my book for the yoga book club as well as the newspapers.

I'm heading to the library to see the film NOAH.

Then I will take a yoga class.

It's a wonderful day.  It's not a day that other people have BUT I am blessed with this day.

Thank you Almighty for helping me put things in perspective.

GRATEFUL FOR MY NEW LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for my new life.

It is quiet and peaceful.  There is no drama.  While it is true that others are moving ahead, my triad never hit bench marks like a normal group of people.  The fact that they are quiet is a plus.

Today the weather is beautiful.  I turned off the air conditioner and opened the windows.  I'm going to walk and then head out to Weight Watchers.  This afternoon I plan to take my flu shot. I have a book discussion this evening.

I had a wonderful time at lunch yesterday with my friends and really enjoyed yesterday's book discussion. I don't miss work at all and am grateful that I made the right decision to leave.

Thank you, Almighty for my new life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR HAVING THE ALMIGHTY IN MY LIFE

I am grateful that the Almighty is in my life and that He made me a strong person because when things are tough, I know what to do.

This weekend was not easy.  He is not a happy man.  He hates when I am happy and his aim is to make me as miserable as he is.  While this doesn't happen, it takes all of my strength to persevere.   In addition, one of my friends is having her third grandchild.  Life is moving on for her and when I watched the Facebook video,  you could see real joy.  This is not going to happen to me with the Triad.  My guess is that I will live my own life and use strategies to stay happy.

I could have been depressed but I wasn't.  I thanked the Almighty for my blessings and moved on with my life.

Today I will walk and I'm having lunch with some friends and going to an afternoon book club discussion.

I am going to do some errands also.  I need to get to the cleaning store and the bakery to see if they have rounds challahs yet.

I am grateful because the Almighty is in my life.

GRATITUDE FOR STRENGTH AND FORTITUDE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He blessed me with strength and fortitude.

I am going to have to use these qualities today because I am doing the yearly visit to the cemetery with him.  Double Whammy!!!!   I am going to be calm, cool and collected in the car going and coming!!!!!

I am going to walk this morning and read on the way to the cemetery. 

Thank you Almighty for giving me strength and fortitude.

Later-  We visited both cemeteries, his parents and mine.  He tried the quiet routine.  I let it happen.  I brought along both newspapers and my cell phone.  He couldn't upset me at all.

Thank you Almighty for my strength and fortitude.  I was able to visit my family's plot, pray and ask them to pray for me.

GRATEFUL FOR THE SABBATH

I am grateful to the Almighty because today is Shabbos.

I will be going to services to thank the Almighty for the wonderful things that he has given me.

I will see my friends and make plans for the week.

I will read.

I will walk.

Thank you, Almighty because it is the Sabbath.

GRATEFUL BECAUSE THE ALMIGHTY IS IN MY LIFE

I am so grateful because the Almighty is in my life.  I hope that He is with me FOREVER!!!!

Retirement officially started on June 27th.  However, for me it began this past Tuesday when teachers reported for work, BUT NOT ME!!!!

It is an amazing feeling that I find myself getting accustomed to on a daily basis.  I was in Westhampton watching school buses pick up children and I felt liberated.

We came home yesterday.

Today I will smile as I do my chores.

I have 2 yoga classes and I'm getting a manicure/pedicure.

Tonight is the Sabbath.

Vacation is over.

Retirement begins.

A new chapter starts.

Thank you, Almighty.

I am grateful that you are in my life.

GRATEFUL THAT I AM THE NEW ME!!!!

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has helped me to become the NEW ME!!!

I had a wonderful vacation!!!!

I knew exactly what to do and say!!!

I was grateful to the Almighty each morning as I walked!!!!

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has helped me to become the NEW ME!!!
