GRATEFUL THOUGHTS

I am grateful to the Almighty for my new life.

Two years ago, on July 31, 2012 he did the most horrible thing to me.  He still denies doing it. However, it has changed our relationship forever.

I am so grateful to the Almighty and so proud that He is with me throughout life.  I am not the same person that I was.

The Almighty wanted me to change the importance of two dates.  June 27th will forever be the day that work ended.   July 31st will be the day that I received my first pension deposit.

I am so grateful to the Almighty for my life.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW LIFE!!!

I am grateful to the Almighty for my new life.

It is 5:30 in the morning!!!!   I am on the computer because my pension came.

It's here.........I could cry because I'm so grateful!!!!

Today I will go to the pool and to a lecture entitled Women Artis That You Should Know in the Plainview Library.

I will walk.  

I will have DD coffee with the morning newspapers.

Matzah has a grooming.

I am so grateful to the Almighty for my new life.

GRATEFUL FOR A FUN DAY

I am grateful to the Almighty because this is going to be a day filled with fun.

I will walk this morning.  I will  have DD coffee and read the papers.  I will start my new book. I might even get to go to the pool.

However, the afternoon is amazing!!!!  I have an Apple lesson on PAGES.  This is followed by a yoga class and Bingo with the Sisterhood.

It's a day filled with fun.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this day.

Later-   The amazing thing about this day was that I ran 36 minutes extra with Matzah. It was wonderful. He and I were both surprised!!!!   I had a wonderful time at both yoga and Sisterhood Bingo.  We really laughed a lot and I won a very cool wine glass!!!

His needling doesn't stop.  It just ebbs and flows.  I found a way to LET IT GO......I don't answer what I choose not to answer.  

GRATEFUL FOR HEARING, LEARNING AND USING

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I heard and I learned and I use everything that He has taught me.  

As I told you yesterday, he tried EVERYTHING to get an incident going.  We were going to the condo.............we weren't going.   I will go to the circus.............. I won't!!  I will go see A Midsummer Night's Dream..................I don't like Shakespearian plays!!!!!!   When will we go to the condo again????  I'll sell it!!!!!

How did I handle all this???  I handled it will quiet and calmness.  I learned.  I told him that it was all his decision.  He didn't like that because it represented leadership and who could he blame???  I told him in my quiet and calm voice that this wasn't July 31, 2012 and I wouldn't raise my voice as I do with others.   Whatever he wants is fine with me.

He followed me to the pool and saw me hang out with friends and talk about Bingo among other things. I'm sure that didn't sit well with him.

I proceded to do everything that I planned for the day.  I finished my book, ordered another one and went to my Restorative Yoga class where I was able to hang out with friends and found that my friend Doreen was substituting  for Dawn.

It was the end of a wonderful day.

GRATEFUL FOR CALMNESS AND QUIET

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has taught me about calmness and being quiet.

Yesterday was interesting.  I had to tell him that I had two new friends and that they asked for Home as well as Cell phone numbers.   I told him that they might call on the home phone. Usually, for privacy I prefer the cell, but I didn't want to explain my story to new friends.   I didn't expect him to apologize and he didn't.  If he could have, he wouldn't be the person that he is.  He wasn't happy that I said this.

He does not want to go to the circus or to hear Shakespeare in the Park this weekend in the Hamptons.  That is probably to upset me.  However, I don't care because there are many things to do here.  I guess it was payback, but it fell flat.

Today, I am going to walk.  My aim is to finish my book and start the next one. The pool is on the agenda too.  I have a Restorative Class tonight.

I am enjoying my retirement, thanks to the Almighty.

I am grateful to you Almighty for my calm and quiet attitude when things happen.

GRATEFUL FOR THE NEW ME

I am grateful to the Almighty for creating the new me.

I am enjoying everything about my new life.  I am living in the present and letting go of that which doesn't serve me.

The mini-vacation at the condo was wonderful.  Conversation was carefully orchestrated to remain in the present.  I did not even tell them where I was because it wasn't necessary.  I brought a book to read.  I let him choose the activity.  I relaxed.

Today, I'm walking for my usual two hours and then going to yoga.  I cancelled a lunch date with a new friend because we were going, then we weren't and then I made a better decision for myself.

I was thrilled to see my pension statement yesterday and am looking forward to July 31st to see it in direct deposit.  I have not forgotten that date, but I am focusing on the good and careful to let go.

I will read my book.

Matzah needs to go to the vet for his second checkup this afternoon.

He wants me to meet a couple that he has become friendly with because of the dog. That's what I need and I'm being sarcastic.........another couple that he can upset!!!!

I am grateful to the Almighty for my new life.

GRATEFUL FOR MY MINI-VACATION

I am grateful to the Almighty for my mini-vacation to the condo.

I really enjoyed it.

When I returned home, I discovered what my pension will be officially and that it will arrive on July 31st.  I am grateful!!!!!

Thank you, Almighty for making this possible!!!!
