Shabbat Shalom

     Though I sometimes feel the crunch before shabbos and miss technology during shabbos, I am enjoy observing shabbos. I LOVE not being able to answer the phone on shabbos. I love being able to read and sleep for one day a week every week and not feel like I should be doing something else more productive. My world is so fast paced that if I was not forced to take a break each week due to shabbos observance I might not take a break. Its exhausting just contemplating such a notion. I am so looking forward to relaxing this shabbos. Have a fabulous shabbos everyone.

Running on empty

     It seems like  these days if you sleep more than four hours a night or give yourself a few hours a night to relax you are considered a slacker. If I have a day off and all I do is do errands and watch television people look at me like I have two heads. It seems as if one is not in perpetual motion one is sinning. I hate that . I have a job that keeps me in perpetual motion all day so when I have time to myself it is important for me not to be in perpetual motion.
     For the past month I have felt like I have been in perpetual motion. Though I have accomplished a lot and have had a lot of fun along the way I had not felt relaxed. Not cool. I had off of work today and though I did do some chores I stayed local and actually relaxed. I felt like I had a real day off and I am ready for Kol Nidre tomorrow night.
