The New Year!

Two days ago, when thinking about the new year I got very tensed: a lot of chores to be finished, cooking, preparing menus, inviting friends and family, establishing the special schedule for children, running up and fro for the shopping, finishing the unfinishing projects and books, the yeshiva classes.

Overall, not too much time to think and evaluate as I was expecting to. In my projection, I was thinking about one hour or two when in the silence I can map my past successes and failures and future plans and wishes. Given the overloaded schedule and the highly intesive social life I was almost stucked in spending time with lots of people, but myself.

Yesterday, at the end of the cooking marathon I realized how wrong I was. I was already clear with the past and I know very well what do I want to accomplish in the future. The last year was one of the most amazing and spiritually and personally rich from my life and it's only up to me to continue the progress. Was I am missing is the sound of the shofar announcing that it is the right time for the new start.

Shana Tova!

About beginnings

For various reasons, I am not the biggest fan of the NYE celebrations. What I like is strictly related to the idea of celebrations, of starting something new, and this could happen every day, week or month. When you can have time to plan the future without looking back in anger, this is always an opportunity for positive beginning.
From my point of view, every day you start it is offering you plenty of potentialities for ending it up with new thoughts and new opportunities ahead: learning something new, knowing somebody new or simply making a better life for you and those who counts into your life. And this might be enough for being happy and making other people happier too. If you think that it is nobody with whom to share your happiness, maybe you didn't look too careful around you.
Wish my readers to be happy with themselves!
