GRATEFUL FOR A PEACEFUL DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty for a peaceful day.

I am writing after Yom Kippur.

Thanks to the Almighty, it was a peaceful and spiritual day.  I hope that everything that I prayed for comes truth.

I really enjoyed the sermon and the Rabbi's healing class.  It will definitely help me deal with my own life.   We spoke of mental illness and how it takes over a family.  This has happened to me and I survived.

Thank you, Almighty for a peaceful day.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL THAT I MADE IT THROUGH THE RAIN

I am so grateful to the Almighty because He helped me make it through the rain this year.

Tonight is Kol Nidre and tomorrow is Yom Kippur.   I will be at services all day praying that this year my family and myself will have a healthy and happy New Year.

I always am nervous at this time of year because I want us all to be inscribed in the Book of Life.  I pray it is so.

The year has been awesome because I made it through the rain and learned how to handle all my adversaries.  For the third year in a row,  I did not invite them.  It has made the holiday so much more spiritual.   One stayed in pjs all day and never went to services.  The other went to services and then acted in a juvenile manner.  For example, she never prayed but spent time bending her father's thumb back!!!!   Gone are the break fasts where no one fasted and I only did a break fast to encourage my daughters to be observant.  You can see how that worked out!!!!

I pray that the New Year will bring us Health, Happiness, Peace and Calmness.  I hope to continue to benefit from all that yoga has taught me.

Thank you, Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRTEFUL FOR MAINTAINING MY OWN PEACE AND CALM

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has taught me, based on experiences,  how to main my well being and maintain a peaceful and calm state.

He was riding high on July 31, 2012 when the horrific incident occurred. My retirement changed all that in that the older one is with a man that he hates and neither daughter calls him. The younger one calls when she needs something.   That has put him into a state of depression and he would like nothing better than to lash out at me.

However, that is not happening as I know how to maintain a peaceful and calm existence so that I can enjoy my life.     I am quiet!!!!!!!  It works!!!!   

It took forever to update my I-Phone 5 yesterday, but now it's done.  The book that I'm reading for the Yoga Book Club is a real page turner.  In three days, I'm 70% done!!!!!

Today I will walk and then take a yoga class.

I'm excited to say that my hair will be colored and blown out today.

I will not be making dinner, but will be going out!!!!

I am thankful to the Almighty for helping me maintain a peaceful and calm existence.

I am grateful to Him!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR MY APPRECIATION OF LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty because I truly appreciate my new life.

I am so happy that I began this retirement adventure.  Everyday is filled with new experiences.  Each day is different.

Yesterday I loved going to the "candy store" and seeing my pension in direct deposit.

Today it is cloudy.  It looks like it might rain.  However, I will walk anyway!!!!

My plan today is to go to an Apple lesson where I will put more music on my IPOD.  I hope that I learn to do this.

I will read my book for the Yoga Book Club too.  It's about lesbians!!

Tonight I have a yoga class.

I hope to start cleaning yet another closet because the weather is bad.  However I may be lucky with nothing to clean!!!!!

I am so happy with my new life.

Thank you, Almighty.

UPDATE-   Nothing to clean in closet!!!!!  I updated my phone and I-POD shuffles at the Apple Store.   No time for music.

GRATEFUL FOR TODAY'S EXCITEMENT

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am going to a union retirement luncheon today.

I am up very early to walk as the luncheon starts at 11:30.

I also have a yoga class tonight.

Last night, we watched yet another new television show.  I caught up with Parenthood on line.

I will write later to let you know details.

Later-   I returned from the luncheon.  It was very enjoyable.  My friend Dennis was there as well as my friend Rosemarie.

Now I plan to read The NY TIMES and my book.

I am grateful to the Almighty for having achieved the retirement milestone.

GRATEFUL FOR GETTING RID OF GHOSTS

I am grateful to the Almighty because He helped me become a wonderful reader.  

Yesterday, even though I was having a really good day, I was upset because I had saved my mother's old pocketbook and I looked at pictures of my daughters when they were little.  I realized that my dreams about having a family did not come true.  I was shattered especially when I had the time to speak to one of my young neighbors and realized how normal she is. My daughters destroyed my life in this town.

However as I read the quote about ghosts on line, I realized that it was time to get rid of them.  They are ghosts and it is tie for me to let go otherwise it doesn't pay for me to go to yoga.  

It will take time, but it will be done.  

The Almighty will help me do this.

Thank you, Almighty for your help.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR MONDAY

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am alive, well and happy and NOT GOING TO WORK ON MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday has become my new favorite day of the week because I don't have to transition to go to work.  I also love Sunday night because my stomach doesn't drop with the thought of a week at work.

Thanks to the Almighty, I have made myself safe at home so that I can enjoy all the privileges of not working.

Yesterday worked out well for me.  I walked, went to yoga and Weight Watchers.  I even delivered my charity bag of groceries to PJC.   We did go to The Sands Point Preserve for the Fall Festival.  It was enjoyable.  He was in one of his decent moods.  He took me out to dinner at Rachael's.  I thought that I was paying and then I wasn't.  That's his craziness.  He even bought me an ice cream sundae.   I always celebrate my weight after I get weighed.   I texted the older one.   I was so happy that I had uninvited her from Rosh Hashanah years ago.  She doesn't believe in it and would have destroyed it for me.

I got to watch Boardwalk too!!!!!

Today I will walk.   I will do some errands.

I have a wonderful yoga class to take.

Then I will settle down with my book for the Yoga Book Club and read.

I am grateful to the Almighty because I made it.

I am grateful for Monday.
