GRATEFUL FOR WONDERFUL MEMORIES



 I am grateful to the Almighty for the wonderful memories that He has allowed me to make.

Charles and I had a wonderful weekend.

Yesterday was the Super Bowl playoff and Charles was in Long Beach watching the two games at Dan's house with his friends.  This made me extremely happy as he is so normal.

Hilary and Dana both FaceTimed and I spoke to Madalyn and Remi.

Life is so good and I am grateful to the Almighty for this.

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR THE PEACE AND QUIET IN MY LIFE

 I am grateful to the Almighty for the peace and quiet in my life.

Yesterday....on Shabbos there was a massive blizzard with 55mph winds.  The final total in Plainview was 15.5 inches.

Charles and I were together and I had my home, my family and my love to keep me warm.

Today Santos came to shovel......Charles walked Matzah in the snow as he had done yesterday and even cleared a path for Matzah to go outside from the kitchen door.

He left to go to Dan's to watch football with the guys and I am breathing peacefully in my home.  I read the papers......cleaned a bit......and now I'm reading.

I'm happy that Charles has friends.  It's so very, very normal.

He will be back later tonight and leave on Monday as usual.

I am grateful to the Almighty for my health, my family, Charles and the peace and quiet in my life.

Thank you.

 I am grateful to the Almighty for the snowy Sabbath that He has given me.

There's a blizzard outside and I'm cozy and warm in my house with Charles and Matzah.

Thank you Almighty for the peace of this day.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR MY BLESSINGS

 I am grateful to the Almighty because tonight is the Sabbath and tomorrow is the beginning of the weekend. 

 I am grateful that I learned a mantra that is keeping me in the present.

I am grateful that Charles will be spending the weekend with me during the blizzard or nor'easter.

I am grateful that the Almighty is taking care of me.

Today I will practice yoga and have my hair blown out by Louis.

Thank you Almighty for all my gifts and for watching over me.

I am grateful.

GRATEFUL FOR PRACTICING MINDFULNESS

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I am going to try to practice MINDFULNESS as I learned in the yoga studio during my classes.

I am going to live in the PRESENT not the PAST or the FUTURE.

Hopefully this will eliminate any triggers that I'm having.

Today I am again practicing yoga.......going to ShopRite and getting ready for the storm.

I am grateful to the Almighty for learning about this.

Thank you.

Later:  It worked.....I learned a new mantra:   INHALE CALM!  EXHALE A SMILE!!! Life is good.  We are getting a Blizzard/Nor'Easter tomorrow night and Charles will be here for the weekend.  Dana and Seth and my little Madalyn moved......all is well.

GRATEFUL FOR THE FUN IN MY LIFE

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

I practiced yoga yesterday in Leslie's Stretch Class.

Charles came to play BINGO with the Sisterhood and slept over.  I made a delicious dinner.

This morning it's off to practice yoga....chores and errands and dinner with Margie.

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

Thank you.

GRATEFUL FOR A NEW MANTRA

 I am grateful to the Almighty because I practiced yoga yesterday and I heard this new intention for me.

BREATHE IN AND YOU WILL BE CALM.

BREATHE OUT AND YOU WILL SMILE.

I intend to make this my own.

Thank you Almighty.

I am grateful.
