GRATEFUL FOR MY LIFE

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

I never knew that I could be this happy.

I never knew love before this.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL WEEKEND WITH CHARLES

 I am grateful to the Almighty for the wonderful weekend that I had with Charles.

We get along so well........we play......we talk......we laugh and smile all the time.

This weekend we went out to Baiting Hollow to LIV VODKA and THE BAITING HOLLOW RESTORATION AND VINEYARD FARM.  We had a wonderful time.

Charles took me for Vietnamese food.  He ordered OCTOPUS BALLS and we spent the evening looking up facts about Octopus's and laughing.

Sunday we went to FIRE ISLAND VINEYARDS to hear an old favorite of mine......George Barry sing.

Today we had breakfast.......read the newspapers and laughed and chatted.

I'm truly in love.

Whether we do something or nothing, MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE!!!

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A WEEKEND IN ST. JAMES

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has brought Charles into my life!!!!!

I will be driving out to st. James and spending the weekend with Charles.....

Talk to you when I return!!!!

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL THAT THE ALMIGHTY SENT ME TO YOGA

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He sent me to practice yoga.

I have learned so much in Leslie's classes......so much that I can take with me into life to make it better.

I have learned that life is like a camera.  It takes pictures.  It can also delete pictures.  That's very important in life as I try to focus on the good and not have heartache with the bad.

I have also learned that this moment is the beginning of your life. So it is with Charles......these moments are the beginning of a life together.

Today I will have my hair colored and blown out. It's a perfect day for it as Charles invited me to send the weekend at his place.

Thank you Almighty for each new moment and the ability to be a camera.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

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

I am healthy and happy.

Today I'm taking the car to the car wash.  Hopefully the snow has melted for good. I will continue my Passover shopping and possibly take a walk.  It's going to be 48 degrees!

I will be practicing yoga tonight too!

I am grateful to the Almighty for everything that He does for me.

Thank you!

GRATEFUL FOR BEING IN THE MOMENT

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I am learning TO BE in the moment.

Mornings can be difficult but as I go through my morning routine things become easier.

It  was fun playing MahJongg last night.

Today Charles is coming to spend the day and is going with me to the dentist, where thanks to Matzah, I need a new night guard.

I am grateful to the Almighty to be enjoying the moment and grateful that I have strategies to get me back there.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

 I am grateful to the Almighty for this new day.

I am healthy and happy.

Charles and I will be having breakfast soon.  He will be going home only to return tomorrow as Dan begins the paint job on his apartment.

I will be setting up for Pesach today and doing some cleaning.

I will be calling NEWSDAY and THE NY TIMES to cancel the papers this coming weekend as I will be at Charles's apartment.

I'm having dinner with Barbara and Rhonnie before we play Mahjong.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this simple and normal day.

Thank you.
