Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur

This time of year is always special for me. I have tried to use this time for reflection. How has my life gone this past year? What can I change, where do I need to grow for the New Year. Who have I wronged do I need to make amends someplace. This year is even more special I have quit smoking over 30 days by the time Rosh Hashanah gets here over 40 at Yom Kippur. I feel this is a good number 40 has a lot of importance to it. I'm looking forward to the future. It funny it's like I can feel change coming some good some bad. I'm as ready as I can be. The New Year is looking good for me and mine.

New Moon

Even though New Moon isn't a holiday per say but it is a time of celebration. A time for for may things for it can mean as little or as much as you want. For me each month it's gaining more meaning. With New Moon just a few days away I look forward to this one more than any other. I'm on the path to new beginnings. I have been on this path before and have slipped off it only to find myself lost on my journey. But by the grace of God he gives me something every month new moon, new beginnings or what I like to call Gods idea of a do over. So I'm back on my journey. As I start on this path I can see the light at the end of the tunnel which I haven't seen in a long time. I hope that by the next new moon I will have figured out some way to truly honor this time of the month. I love the holidays and of them all this one is my favorite. I think it's because there is a connection between women and the moon. The Sages say that Rosh Chodesh (new moon) was given to women because of the whole golden cafe thing we didn't want to take part in that party. If I had a sofar I would surely be blowing it in a few days. May we all enjoy a new beginning.

Dreaming............

It's that time of year when I start dreaming of Fall and Winter. With them my favorite holidays. Of course they are celebrated in the closet or in secret. I guess that can be fun in some ways. But to be honest I've never been very good at secrets I always end up giving the gifts or telling what I got for others or what I made for them. I just get so excited.

It's so hard to that excitement and just put it in the closet and only live there. As I look at K I realize how much I missed out with my kids when it comes to the holidays. I have one who is almost fearful that they like the holidays, and the other is almost as cynical as their parental unit. I pray that some how I'm able to make it up to all of them. It's hard in the closet there is so much holiday spirit in here that's just dying to get out. It may be awhile before I'm able to leave the closet. I will do my best to make it up to them all.

K meets the dog and cat

I can't believe how gentle Max the dog and Trinty the cat are with the baby it's like they know they have to be gentle with her

I'm a Savta

My first grand baby was born on the 3 of July. Next to having your own this is the greatest high.

As I sit and watch her (which I could do all day) looking into those dark blue eyes that are the color of the ocean at sunset. I wonder what kind of person will she be. What will her personality be like. I pray that she will always have love in her life. She has some great people in her little life as well as some real whack jobs. I guess the best we all could ever hope for is that the good will out weigh the bad. I feel like that song should be keying up "Whatever will be, will be" by Doris Day LOL

Have a blessed day

Maybe, Maybe Not

Is it going to rain or just tease me all day. I can smell it on the wind. For it to rain during the day is an oddity. Max our dog love this weather gets him excited.

He loves his bowls.

Circus

My daughter Desi got two tickets to the circus so her and I went. I hadn't been in a long time over 30 years. We had a really good time mostly because I was with Desi. The only thing was the prices of everything what happen to the good old days when cotton candy came on a stick and a snow cone came in a paper cup. Just cause you dress it up with all kinds of fancy doesn't change what it is. In spite of that I did scum I bought one of each for us. I can't imagine what it like to have a big family and paying these prices. You'd need a stimulus package just to go and buy anything. It was fun seeing the acrobats I always loved them I could watch them all day. Desi liked the elephants. The cats reminded me of my house cats it's funny how much alike they are.
Until later.
