GRATEFUL FOR A WONDERFUL YOM KIPPUR

 I am grateful to the Almighty for a calm and peaceful Yom Kippur filled with praying for myself and my family for good health, and a long and happy life. I hope that the Almighty hears my prayers ad makes them come true!  Kol Nidre was wonderful. Charles left about 12 and I was able to accomplish everything and then eat and attend services. I came home to read.  I went to services all day the next day.  I was able to pray and concentrate on my feelings of gratitude for this wonderful new life that the Almighty has given me.  There was NO HEADACHE at all and I was grateful. I came home.......had breakfast and lunch......spoke to Charles and Karen and then read....and watched television.  I had 4 cups of coffee!!!!

Today I will walk.  Susan will arrive with my new bags at 10.  I will pay bills and clean the house. Charles will arrive at 4.  He's invited for dinner and to watch the debate.  I invited him until Thursday morning.

Life is so much fun!!! Never in my entire life did I think that I would write this. I don't have to overthink...I just have to enjoy life.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful!!

GRATEFUL FOR THE ALMIGHTY WATCHING OVER ME

I am so grateful to the Almighty because He has always watched over me.

Tonight is Kol Nidre......tomorrow is Yom Kippur. I pray to the Almighty so that I might live and be healthy and happy enjoying my new life.

This weekend Charles came over and we walked the length of the Long Beach boardwalk and had dinner at Morrisons.  It was a fantastic night.

This morning I made us coffee and breakfast and we watched a political show on Channel 7 from 10-11.  Then we discussed it.  This is a dream come true.

He will be back on Tuesday at 4 so that I can clean the house as usual. We're going to watch the debate together.  I'll make dinner.  Wednesday we will practice yoga at my studio!! Wow!!

Thank you Almighty for watching over me and allowing me to have this wonderful new life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR FINDING A MANTRA

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has helped me to discover a mantra that I can say whenever I feel myself slipping into the past.  Here it is!!

Oops!  Here I Go Again!!!

I want to continue enjoying my life in the present moment and NOT create a situation where I'm comparing it to the past.  Judith says this will fade BUT I need something to say and this is it.

Last night I attended my Zoom Buddhist group. It was truly awesome. I read my book for the Sports Book Club too.

Today Charles will be here after services.  I can't wait to see him.

Thank you Almighty for the joys in my life.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR BEING BALANCED

 I am grateful to the Almighty because He has balanced my life.

There is work in that there are chores to do. Yesterday for example, I did food shopping at Trader Joe's.  I picked up my medication at CVS.  I put gas in the truck.  I went to Dr. Ludwig, my periodontist and my teeth are fine thanks to the Almighty.

On the other side, there is playtime.  There are friends. I introduced Charles to my friends at our Wednesday Driveway Dining.  I have a steady boyfriend. I practice yoga. I read. I watch television.

I am grateful to the Almighty for my balanced life.

Thank you!!!

GRATEFUL FOR THE JOY IN MY LIFE

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

I love that Hilary and Dana FaceTime me on a daily basis.  I love talking to Remi and Madalyn. I'm beyond grateful that I have loving and caring friends.......and I'm grateful for the Almighty bringing Charles into my life.  He made a huge hit with the ladies at our Wednesday Driveway Luncheons.

We were on the phone last night discussing Lovecraft Country.  We will be going to Long Beach on Saturday and he will sleep over.

Today I'll speak with Judith and do some chores.

I have Dr Ludwig later in the afternoon.  I hope that my teeth will be fine....but the Almighty makes that decision.

Thank you Almighty for the joy in my life.

I am grateful.
