Rosh Hashana

Rosh Hashana starts Friday night. It's a time to reflect on the past year and the things that went right and the things that went wrong, to make amends and work towards making a better new year. As always at this time of year, I promise to do better with my primary problem which is procrastination and also to lead a healthier life and to try and be a better person. This year, for the first time in a long time, at least I can say I had some success at one of those. It's hard to look at one's self this way, knowing all the times one failed to live up to one's own promises, but there's always hope in it, that the new year will be better than the old one. If we dream it, we can make it real.

You know I love that Rosh Hashana is all reflective and it's at the beginning of fall. It makes way more sense to me to do all this soul-searching as the year is winding down, rather than in the dog middle of Winter at New Year's like a lot of people do.

I think you should be very proud of the things you've accomplished. You're treating yourself so much better than you used to from the sound of things.

Congrats on some of the personal progress! *hugs*

And Happy New Year this weekend... I'll be at Meala's Rosh Hashana party Friday, and services with Lot & Cat on Saturday.
