GRATEFUL FOR CHANGES IN ME

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has helped me to make changes in my life.

I have changed old habits and patterns. 

I am enjoying my life as never before and doing so many enjoyable things.

Summer is rapidly coming to an end.  I welcome the change to Fall and all the joy that it will bring for me.  I never used to welcome change.  I was so afraid of it.  However I look forward to the joy in each season.

Yesterday, which is so unlike me, I signed up for the Crystal Singing Bowls and Meditation Workshop tonight.  I did this ONLY yesterday, a spur of the moment change..........so unlike me!!  I am learning the joy of spontaneous individual decisions.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR EACH NEW DAY

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

It is a new beginning.

It is a chance to be and to breathe.

Thank you.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR MY STRENGTH

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has made me a strong woman.

I am creating a new story.  It is a story without drama and of course the old story comes with it but in the far background.  

I am very pleased with the strength, calm and quiet that I exercised this weekend out east.  I had a good time.  Everything that I was thinking didn't have to be said BUT it was there.  I was very proud of me.

I have one more weekend out east in this condo and then the condo is over for good.  The new co-op is in town allowing me a lot more freedom.  I am grateful for this.

Today I will walk and practice yoga.

Chores need doing.

I'm getting a flu shot too.

Thank you Almighty for being my strength when I needed you.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR NEW HABITS AND PATTERNS (WRITTEN ON THURSDAY BUT WILL COVER FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND)

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has helped me to create new habits and patterns in my life and they are serving me well.

If I had not practiced yoga on Thursday I would never have heard the instructor talk about the end of the summer season and the change to fall.   

She spoke of changes in ourselves and how this can affect us.  She spoke of the creation of new habits and patterns.

Isn't this exactly what I have done with my retired life??  I walk in the morning and then practice yoga.  I do chores.  I read.  I'm in no less than five book clubs!!  I'm active in my Sisterhood as well as PJC.

Now there is a new pattern that is emerging.  It's called calm and quiet.  The ground rules are simple. One should only speak about oneself, family or people that we both know.  Since he is a hidden man this can't happen and so I have peace and quiet.  For example he speaks to his brother's widow daily but never mentions it preferring to speak of people that I don't know. I don't share stories of my friends because of his previous emotionally disturbed responses.

It's quiet.  It's peaceful.  I am happy.

Thank you Almighty for always protecting me.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR THE JOY IN MY NEW LIFE

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

I am also grateful that I have learned to be quiet and calm so that I can let go negativity when it rears its ugly head.

I spent two wonderful afternoons at the pool this week.  I went for a manicure/pedicure yesterday and chose nail polish that changes colors on my hands.  I've been walking.  The weather has been wonderful.  I've been reading.  I've been practicing yoga too!!

I will walk now and practice yoga.

Today I have a periodontal appointment to check my implant.  I pray that all goes well.  (FYI: The periodontal appointment was cancelled and rescheduled until next Thursday.  The doctor had an emergency.)

Thank you Almighty for all the joy in my new life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR HEARING THE WORD "ESSENCE"

I am grateful to the Almighty because I heard the word "essence" today in yoga.

I will begin to remember "who I am" and what my needs and wants are.

I am grateful to the Almighty for this awakening.

Thank you.

GRATEUL FOR BEING A STRONG AND CAPABLE WOMAN

I am grateful to the Almighty because He has made me a strong and capable woman.

I believe that I CAN and I WILL...................

This has allowed me to deal with the waves in my life and to be grounded and balanced.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.
