GRATEFUL FOR A NEW DAY

 I am grateful to the Almighty for this beautiful new day!

I am competing my Passover preparations today!!  There is vegetable and fruit shopping to do PLUS a piece of salmon.  Last minute things must be done in the kitchen too!  

Charles will be coming for the second Seder as Dana and Seth have opted out.

Next week....life will calm down a bit!!

I am grateful to the Almighty for the season of Pesach.

I don't love the work BUT I love the holiday!

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR LEAVING SUITCASES AT THE DOOR

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I participated in Leslie's stretch class yesterday.

She spoke of packing suitcases. One held all her worries.....the other held strategies for survival. They were heavy. Suddenly she realized that she could leave them at the door and go back inside feeling lighter.

That was perfect for me......Life is to be enjoyed.  You must look at all your accomplishments and be grateful to the Almighty for them.  You must leave worries and strategies at the doorstep because you can't change people.  You must let go of that which doesn't serve you.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this knowledge.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR NEW ADVENTURES IN MY LIFE

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I am de-cluttering my mind with people, ideas and thoughts that no longer serve me.

This is allowing me to have many new adventures.

Today I practiced yoga in Leslie's class.  After that I filled up the tank.....drove to St. James.....to Charles' place with Matzah and had a wonderful afternoon as Matzah got used to the sights and sounds of the area that Charles lives in.

I came home to continue my Passover preparation by lining a counter top and cleaning the oven and top of the range.  I also cleaned a bathroom.

I also have a St. James Zoom meeting to attend. Charles will be at a Rangers game with Michael.

I will be going out to dinner this week and gaining some weight.  

The diet will begin during Passover.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all these new adventures.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING FREE AS A BIRD

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I practiced yoga today in Leslie's class and she spoke of Spring and birds and being free as a bird.

I was so grateful that I practiced yoga today as that intention resonated with me.

I am free of my daughters nonsense!  I will be able to enjoy my life.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING IN CHARGE OF ME

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I FINALLY AM IN CHARGE OF MYSELF.  I'M THE CAPTAIN OF MY OWN BOAT.

Yesterday my brother Stephen called.  He is again getting a divorce!!!  I did not let anything that he said upset me. I DID NOT get triggered!!!

Yesterday I spoke with my daughters.  Nothing that they said bothered me either!  I AM INDEED THE CAPTAIN OF MY BOAT!

I took Matzah for a long awaited grooming!  I walked at The Home Depot too!  I did my food shopping.  I have a respite until Monday when I begin my Passover preparation again!  I am reading Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult and it's really good!

Michael called and my taxes are in place!

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the good in my life now that I'M THE CAPTAIN IF MY BOAT!

GRATEFUL FOR BEING THE CAPTAIN OF MY BOAT

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I practiced yoga yesterday in Hollie's class.

It was there that I learned that change is constant and that it flows like the wind.  It was there that I learned that I AM THE CAPTAIN OF MY OWN BOAT.

That is going to become my mantra as I am in charge of me and the decisions that I make are for me.

I am grateful to the Almighty because I now have a mantra to express my own feelings.

Passover preparations will not be continued today.  I have done all that I can do before next week. Today is food shopping as Charles will be with me tomorrow.  He's going to help me on Saturday to bring up Passover appliances.

Matzah is finally going for a grooming.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful for everything that you have done for me.
