yesterday was the jewish day of atonement, yom kippur. at this time of year we greet each other with shana tovah. "a good year". good wishes are extended for a happy, healthy year. such precious commodities. happiness and health.
what a wonderful reminder. when we look for happiness it is likely that we will spread happiness where ever we go. kath reminded me just last week that we must take extremely good care of ourselves by paying attention to our health and adopting a healthy lifestyle. the last thing any of us want is to wish we had done things differently. like a leap of faith, we need to take a leap of choice. happy and healthy.

You have to give to receive.
Spreading happiness is the best recipe for making happiness.

Isn't it true that on the eve of Yom Kippur, you must ask forgiveness of each other so that you can ask forgiveness of God on Yom Kippur? I've always thought it a beautiful idea. We need to ask forgiveness of each other AND ourselves and trust in each other as well as in God. But somehow, I always find it easier to forgive others than I do myself.
May it be a beautiful, happy, healthy year for two of my very favorite bloggers and your families.
