GRATEFUL TO THE ALMIGHTY FOR MAKING ME INTELLIGENT

I am grateful to the Almighty because He chose to make me an intelligent human being.

It was through this intelligence that I survived abuse.

As I learn about my own truth and put my two halves back together I realize how bright and intellectual I am.

The activities I choose help me to think and problem solve.  I am using my intelligence in a positive way.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR PLAY AND PEACE

I am grateful to the Almighty for the PLAY and the PEACE that he has given me.

I look forward to each day and I so enjoy being with people and doing things.

Yesterday after I practiced yoga, I volunteered at Sisterhood to pack humantashen.  Then we went to lunch.  I bought socks at Incredible Feet and went to check out The Long Island Meditation Center which Margie told me about and I will join.  I made chicken for dinner and went to a Sisterhood Executive Board meeting.  

I came home to the peace and quiet of my home.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR JAY

I am grateful to the Almighty because He gave me Jay who is a Rabbi and my friend and my yoga buddy  in my life.

He had been a psychiatric nurse and understands so much of what I went through.

He explained to me that my "happiness" came from "relief" because I was "free of abuse."

That cleared it up for me.

He has prayers so that I can commemorate the anniversary of his death and the memorial prayers as an victim of abuse.

Thank you Almighty for sending Jay to me.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW QUIET DAY

I am so grateful to the Almighty for a beautiful new and quiet day.

While I write this post, I am texting friends and Hilary and Dana, involved in all the conversations.  I am looking at boyfriend's sons because he sent me pictures.

I am planning my day too.

I will practice yoga and have lunch with my friend Rabbi Jay.  Dinner is with my friend Marilyn.  I hope to walk, read, and just love life.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR YOGA

I am grateful to the Almighty because even though we moved the clocks forward and lost an hour,  I practiced yoga in my Sunday yoga class at 9AM with my friend Doreen.

I had texted Doreen yesterday to tell her that I would be returning to class and not to make a big deal out of it as I wanted to be in the moment. After class we caught up on everything and I will call her this week.  

I was able to go to Fairway, CVS and also to get weighed at Weight Watchers where I gained weight and with the exercise that I have been doing I will eliminate dessert.

I came home to clean the house, go on computer and now to read the newspapers.

I'm having Japanese food with Margie.

Life is good and I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR MY NEW LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for the wonderful new life that He has given me.

I did not set the alarm today and awoke at 8AM. I prayed a bit at home.  I went to services and it was a pleasure to sit with my friends and pray and have kiddish with them.   I did not have to fear going home or think of strategies to keep me safe when i returned home.

I came home and decided to walk.  I called my friend Margie and walked to her house and hung out a bit and came home.

I'm reading the newspapers.  Matzah is outside.  My accountant is coming over to pick up the tax material.  I might have dinner with Jay or not.

I'm in love with my life.

I feel blessed.

I have the Almighty to thank for all my blessings.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL TO THE ALMIGHTY FOR THIS BLESSED DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty for giving me this blessed day.

I was up early at 6AM.  I am grateful for my good health, my family and friends and all the joy that I am finding in each blessed day.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.
