A&W Moment:

This morning in Shul, in the middle of saying Selichos, someone brushed against me, thereby knocking the prayerbook out of my hand. I picked it up from the floor while thinking that now I will have to start looking for the proper place where we are up to......

Lo & behold, it opened to a page where I thought I recognized the ending of the previous piece. As I was standing & wondering, the Baal Tefila commenced saying the next one in an audible tone. I immediately saw that it is in the page open in front of me.

Upon reflection I realized that that was the only time that I was able to hear the Baal Tefila start a Selicha!!!

It is Hashem who is running even the most minuscule details of our lives!!!

A&W Moment:

The electricity in my office just flickered for a second. My coworker said "Boruch Hashem" that it didn't stay off.

Suddenly, I came to the realization: Do we recognize & thank Hashem for all the time that the electricity works "the way it is SUPPOSED to"?

Kind of like ...an "asher yotzar moment"....plumbing should work, no?

Was recently informed about current scientific research which suggests that 'these' thoughts and urges will last in the average person's mind for only 7 minutes after he completely take his mind off the subject & immerses himself in something else.

So, lets adapt the 'One day at a time' slogan to '7 minutes for now'.

If anyone reading this post actually tries & finds it to be true in his personal struggle too, please report back & share it with the rest of us.

Was informed by Boss that as of next week our hours are being cut to only two days a week. Since I don't have internet access at home, I won't be on around on the forum very often.


(Here is a shout out for all my friends to please intercede on my behalf to The One Who Is In Charge Of All Parnasa and ask Him to please send me a new job QUICKLY!!!    Thanks in advance for all your tefilos!  )

I have no words.

oy! that is sad, but we must believe that everything is ordained from on High. We must believe that it is the best for us somehow, even if we dont understand. I will for sure miss you on the 2 days, but you'll be around on the other two right ?
