Just wanted to mention, because i don't want it to seem like everything is always so smooth...

The other night I was on a website, checking out something that was fine...and I was bored, and tempted - not for anything wrong, but to go to another part of the website, which I knew could easily lead to things that would lead me to other things...

Very tempting. I was SO in the mood. But "Hashem gave me my freedoooooom!" And I just clicked that website closed. I was going to get up from the computer, but then I got a GYE message. ;D

Yupsers...

An interesting point that I've noticed for a while, but worth posting about. I sus[ect everyone does this soemtimes, and it's worth noticing.

I want some orange juice - so I go to the fridge, and it's [i]all [/i]the way in the back. Sigh. i have to pull out 3 bottles of milk, a stack of containers, a pot of soup, another kidn of orange juice...finally, get my orange juice, then put everything else back. It's annoying.

Then I stop. "wait a second...I'm getting annoyed because I have a full fridge?"

How often do we do that? I'm getting stressed out because I have a bunch of different jobs, and my schedule is up in the air, etc. But I want all those jobs, they're good for me on a whole bunch of levels. So smile, thank hashem, and realize that He's hugging me!

Sometimes, the yetzer hora can even make hugs look bad!

Had a great shabbos - hope you all did, too...

My 90 day celebration will be tomorrow. As of now, I'm probably not going to be dropping off bottles of woodford in random shuls, because probably not many (if any) of the people who would understand would end up getting any...

But, if you'd like to send me a PM wishing me mazal tov, please do. And if you want to call me, send me a PM and I'll give you my number, as well as when would probably be a good time to call.
