GRATEFUL FOR MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

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

What occurred yesterday was an example of my gratitude.   He was in an aggressive mood and was looking for things to say that would bring me down the wrong road every time that I saw him.   However, his strategy did not work at all.  I just continued on my way doing the things that gave me joy.

I did not even question why he was in my life.  I just continued my life in a positive way.  Looking back to yesterday, I am very pleased with the way that I handled the day.  I did not even have moments where I asked myself, "why me?"  That is a major accomplishment for me.

 Today I will walk.  I've decided to attend Mel's yoga class before the Yoga Book Club.  Both of those activities will be fun.

 My plan is to read yet another new book for the Plainview Book Club, BREWSTER.

Tonight begins the last of the Jewish holidays.  There is a yizkor service tomorrow and Simchat Torah services on Friday.  Saturday is Shabbos and I have a yoga workshop.

I love having activities to look forward to.

I am grateful to the Almighty for getting me to a place where I can appreciate my accomplishments.

Thank you, Almighty.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty for a new day.  

My goal is to make it a good one.

I will walk this morning.  Later I am looking forward to attending Lunch and Learn in the Sukkah hosted by the Rabbi.   Tonight I have a Book Discussion.  We will be discussing The Turn of the Screw.  I hope to be able to watch Boardwalk tonight.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this wonderful new day.  I am healthy and happy and looking forward to my activities.

Thank you, Almighty for my life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND

I am grateful to the Almighty because I just returned from the condo and I had a wonderful weekend.

I am grateful because I know what to say, when to say it and when to be quiet.

We did amazing things out east and I enjoyed all of them.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this weekend!!!!

Thank you!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR SHABBOS

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am alive and healthy on this beautiful, but rainy Sabbath.

Today might be the Sukkah Hop if the rain stops.  If not, at least I was in the synagogue Sukkah and the Cantor's Sukkah for a wonderful luncheon.

Later in the day, I will be going to the condo for the Columbus Day Weekend.  I approach this trip with joy.   I no longer fear what he will do or say because it is expected and it doesn't matter.  How's that for moving forward???

I will not be writing until I return.

Thank you for this wonderful Sabbath.

I am truly grateful!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR MY NEW LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for my new life.

Today was the second day of Sukkoth.    I walked for two hours before services and will try to walk again later.

The services were uplifting as well as spiritual.   I so enjoyed being with friends in the Sukkah, especially meeting new people.  People who didn't speak to me in years are talking to me.  The Triad has been forgotten at PJC!!!!

I will read today and prepare dinner for Shabbos.

I also need to finish packing.  It is also Columbus Day Weekend and we are going to the condo.

I am grateful to the Almighty for my new life.

Thank you, Almighty.

GRATEFUL FOR SYNAGOGUE ON SUCCOTH

I am grateful to the Almighty because I am retired and I attended a luncheon in the Sukkoth hosted by the Rabbi and the Cantor.

I awoke so early this morning that the moon was still up.  I walked for two hours.

Then I went to services at PJC for the festival of Sukkoth.  I felt so joyful!!!  I made it!!!!  Festivals belonged to me now.  I didn't have to go to work!!!!!! They were no longer living here to destroy my peace and quiet.  I know how to handle him.  He didn't go.  Then again, he never attends services.   I sat with friends during the service and really enjoyed myself.  I felt so comfortable both with the Almighty and with my friends.

A luncheon was hosted by the Rabbi and the Cantor in the Cantor's Sukkoth.   I DID NOT DIET!!!!  I enjoyed everything.   It was wonderful!!!!   I so enjoyed sitting with friends.

I came home to go on the computer, to read and to walk again.

I must have eaten everything in sight.  This definitely was not a diet day!!!!

Thank you Almighty for the peace and serenity that I feel.

I am grateful!!!!

GRATEFUL FOR MY NEW LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for my new life.

Today will be a wonderful day.   I'm walking for my usual two hours.

I will be trying out a new yoga class.  Then I signed up for a Healthy Oils Workshop at the studio with Dawn.

Tonight is the eve of the holiday of Sukkoth.

I am grateful to the Almighty for my new life!!!!
