GRATEFUL FOR THE GLADNESS IN MY LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the gladness in my life.

The Memory Workshop yesterday wad wonderful.   I really enjoyed all the participants who presented their memories.

I am grateful because I received a huge job assignment from my Principal and was able to complete most of it at the Curriculum Meeting that I went to in Central Office.

Tonight is the Sabbath.  I look back at a week filled with joy.  I loved being free to drive around and do errands.    I loved Restorative Yoga.  I enjoyed the Yoga Book Club and the Sisterhood Book Club.  I enjoyed the Memory Workshop.

He and I went out to dinner last night.  It was pleasant.  I wonder how long he can maintain this decent behavior with me?  I also enjoyed lunch after yoga and dinner before the Sisterhood Book Club.  

It has been a really good week.

I am grateful to the Almighty for the gladness in my life.

GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE GLADNESS IN MY LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the gladness that is in my life.

I had a wonderful time at the YOGA BOOK CLUB yesterday.  I took a 1/2 day work day and left by 11.  It did snow a bit, but it was a snow squall and I was able to manage.  We did a LEVEL 1 practice followed by lunch and discussion.  It was great!!!!!

I came home to straighten up because Wednesday, he cleans the house.  I paid a bill on the computer, as well as went on the computer.  I read The NY Times and spoke to him quietly, watchfully and appropriately.  His topic was the condo.  I was careful as to what I said.

Then it was off to dinner at Pasteria with my Sisterhood friends and another book discussion. I had a very good evening.

This afternoon, I'm going to my Memory Workshop.  He will make the decision as to whether we go out or not.  It doesn't matter to me.  I have had a full week.

The book that I'm reading for the Syosset Book Club is very good too!!!

Thank you, Almighty for all the gladness in my life.

GRATEFUL FOR THE GOODNESS IN MY LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the goodness in my life.

I am grateful to the Almighty for helping me to give up my adolescent dreams.  This has helped me to move forward and appreciate all the good things in my life.

Last night I attended my Restorative Yoga class.  It was wonderful.   I came home and he wanted to chat with me.  I did not delude myself into thinking that he wanted to talk to me.  It was just that the older daughter went on vacation with her boyfriend and the sister-in-law is also away.  By default, he had me.

He is still discussing the condo.  I am still making appropriate answers.

Today, I am taking a 1/2 sick day from work to attend my YOGA BOOK CLUB.  I am excited.  My mat and clothes are in the truck.   IT DID NOT SNOW!!!!!! I can drive there.

I am going out to dinner with friends and then attending THE SISTERHOOD BOOK CLUB.  IT DID NOT SNOW!!   I can drive there.

The book that I am reading for the SYOSSET BOOK CLUB is wonderful.  Did I tell you that yesterday, I picked up a book for an afternoon book club???

I am so grateful to the Almighty for the good in my life.

GRATEFUL FOR THE JOY IN MY LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty because He sent Hollie to introduce me to yoga.  This in turn helped me to be grounded which changed my life.

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the joy in my life.

Yesterday, I worked very hard beginning to set up the new classroom at school.  I was very satisfied with what I had done.  I will continue today.   I was able to do errands because there was no snow.  I made a delicious dinner and was able to read my book.

He droned on about the new condo that we are buying.  It was like listening to background noise or a song that keeps being repeated.  I said all the appropriate things.  Today, he is getting my shades repaired.  Our steamer broke and he is getting another one.  I will be making dinner.

This morning it did not snow either.   I have a busy work day.  Tonight, I will be going to a Restorative Yoga class with Dawn.  I will come home to read.

I am grateful to the Almighty for the joy in my life.

GRATEFUL FOR THE GOODNESS IN MY LIFE

I am grateful to the Almighty for all the goodness in my life.

I am back at work and I am happy that I am here.  I'm the type of person who is happy wherever they are.  I will however miss Matzah while I'm here.

I thought about my week as I drove in to work today.   I was grateful for all the wonderful activities that I did.  I was also grateful that it didn't snow today because I will get to do some errands on the way home.

He is still in a decent mood.  It amazes me how manipulative he can be.  I'm proud to sat that I don't believe a word that he says.  I am careful.   I am happy with my life.

I am thankful to the Almighty for helping me appreciate all that is mine.

GRATEFUL FOR THE JOY IN MY LIFE- WINTER RECESS DAY 9- THE LAST DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty for the joy that I have found in my own life.

Winter recess was a prime example of this.  I did so many wonderful activities during Winter Recess.  I read THE WOMAN UPSTAIRS and am now reading, A CONSTELLATION OF VITAL PHENOMENA.    I was able to go to services on the second Sabbath that I was off and to reconnect with friends.   Hopefully, it won't snow badly this coming Wednesday and I will be able to go to my book clubs.  

I watched two wonderful movies,  THE HOBBIT and THE AMAZING OZ.  I talked to and texted friends.  I got beautiful new colors for my latest manicure/pedicure.

We are getting a taste of Spring-like weather and for the last two days, I was able to walk outside for 2 hours instead of walking at Home Depot.

I attended an entire variety of old and new yoga classes.  I was in a REIKI CIRCLE.  I attended a new class entitled,  GENTLE YOGA AND MEDITATION as well as 3 LEVEL 1 classes and RESTORATIVE YOGA.  I learned a lot about appreciating the joy, goodness and gladness in my life.  

I watched the Olympics in Sochi as well as my show, TRUE DETECTIVE.

There was sadness during the week, but it was like background noise.  He tried to insight me to argue with him and he failed.   I finally, in a quiet voice explained how life would never move forward if he was like this.  I do not expect him to change, but was very happy that I expressed myself.  My dizziness has subsided as a result of speaking up.  For the moment he is being decent, but it won't be sustained.

I return to work tomorrow, a happy and relaxed person ready to start the work week.

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has helped me find the joy in my life.

GRATEFUL FOR THE GOODNESS IN MY LIFE WINTER RECESS - DAY 8

I am grateful to the Almighty for all of the goodness in my life.

Today, I went to services at our synagogue.  I was thrilled to be their and to re-connect with all my friends.  Hopefully, it will not snow on Wednesday because we would like to go out to dinner before the Sisterhood Book Club.  The congregation was invited to a Bar Mitzvah extended kiddish and it was wonderful to eat and connect with friends.

It looks like I will be able to walk outside today.  The weather is beautiful.  I'm very excited.

I really like my new book.

Thank you Almighty for showing me a way to appreciate all the goodness in my life.

Later-    There is a great deal of goodness in my life and I am grateful for my life.  I walked for two hours. It was an incredible walk.  The snow is melting and I haven't walked outside in a forever.     I read my book.  I'm going to watch a NETFLIX film.   I am grateful to the Almighty for all he has given me.
