It is Friday!! Baruch Hashem! (Thank God) We are looking at a beautiful weekend here in the Pacific Northwest. Summer has arrived, suny and 80 degrees. It is still chilly in the mornings, below 60, but to me this is perfect weather :)
I am really looking forward to lighting the Shabbot candles tonight. For some reason, I am looking forward to the serenity that comes with the lighting of the candles. There is a connection made with the Holy, with the community, and with myself that happens. I am in need of that connection right now.
I am missing my congregational community; I am feeling detached. We have an incredible shul. I love the people, the rabbi, the energy! Unfortunately, they are located on the East side. Due to the timing of me getting off work, picking up the kids, dinner, and traffic back to the shul, we don't usually make it to the Friday night services. Torah study is @ 9 am on Saturdays, and I find excuses to no get up and go.
What is creating the barrier for me to go on Saturdays? It's my only day to sleep in, the kids will be disruptive, I have chores and grocery shopping I have to do, ect... I have the yearning to be more involved, yet I find reasons to not follow through on that yearning. What is it that is preventing me from following through?
I am always tired, the shopping can be done after Torah study, the girls would learn a lot by us attending.
I was waylaid by grocery shopping tonight so that we would have tomorrow off (my birthday). So at this time, my train of thought is completely de-railed.
Successes: lunch walk, grocery shopping, got through the work day
Barriers: did not eat dinner until 9:30 pm
Shabbot Shalom
