How totally embarrassing that I had to search back 2 whole pages to find the HUGS thread!
Busha :-[

Wake up and open your eyes GYE before you trip over that huge hug lying on the ground in front of your feet! :o :o

Today I was waiting for a ride to yerushalayim and a cab pulled up and gave me a ride for freeright to where i needed to go!!!!

What a hug!!

Posted this on my thread, but realize it really belongs here...

I dreamt that I
Went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked
Side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with
Angels.

My angel guide stopped in front
Of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving
Section. Here, all petitions to Hashem said in prayer
Are received."

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with!
So many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous
Paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world. Then
We moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second
Section.

The angel then said to me,
"This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the
Graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and
Delivered to the living persons who asked for
Them."

I noticed again how busy it was
There. There were many angels working hard at that station,
Since so many blessings had been requested and were being
Packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at ! The farthest end of
The long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small
Station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated
There, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed. "How is it that? There's no
Work going on here?" I
Asked.

"So sad," the angel
Sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they
Asked for, very few send back
Acknowledgments.

"How does one acknowledge
HaShem's blessings?" I
Asked.

"Simple," the angel
Answered. "Just say, "Thank you,
Hashem."

"What blessings should they
Acknowledge?" I asked.

"If you have food
In the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead
And a place to sleep ... You are richer than 75% of this
World.

"If you have money in the
Bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are
Among the top 8% of the world's
Wealthy.

"And if you get this on your
Own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has
That opportunity."

Also

"If you woke up this morning
With more health than illness ...... You are more blessed
Than the many who will not even survive this
Day.

"If you have never
Experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of
Imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of
Starvation ... You are ahead of 700 million people in the
World.

If you can hold your head up and
Smile, you are not the norm, you are unique to all those in
Doubt and despair."

Ok, what now? How can I
Start?

If you can read this
Message, you just received a double blessing in that someone
Was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed
Than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at
All.

Have a good day, count your
Blessings, and if you want, pass this along to remind
Everyone else how blessed we all
Are.

Attn: Acknowledge Dept.: Thank
You Hashem!

"Thank you Hashem, for
Giving me the ability to share this message and for giving
Me so many wonderful people to share it
With."

i was feeling lousy. lonely.
didn't want to text anyone and had no access to the computer.
as i was thinking how nice it would be to escape and why not...
trying texted me!
Thank you Hashem for such a super sis! and for timing her text so perfectly!
HUG!

Last nite, I was driving and while waiting for a red light to change, saw some poison. Except it looked appetizing.
I looked away immediately, but felt the voices in my head saying,
hey, you looked, I think you looked for a second too long anyway, why not look again, ya anyway blew it.
But then, guess what... the place I turned away to was the license place of the car in front of me, and it was:
ATA 3469

Well, I happen to be a big time fan of the vort Guard posted, V'ata Yisroel mu Hashem Elokecha sho'el may'imuch.... ki im l'yirah etc....  the Torah continues with a whole shopping list of wonderful madreigois.

the Torah is emphazing that we CAN reach all these wonderful things, if we focus on one thing... v'ata, not what happened a second or a day or a year ago, and not what WILL happen. Just the present.

Well, there was the license plate, clearly telling me that I need to do the right thing NOW, and forget what happened in ancient history (ie.  2 seconds ago).

HUG!

Amazing what the loser y"h will stoop to!  You looked away immediately!  Hello, y"h!  He did precisely what the Halacha requires!

Kedusha,
The YH was getting me because I was savoring it.
he was convincing me I looked a bit tooo long.
Seems silly now, but at the time it was a struggle.
Till Hashem reminded me about ata.

public thank you to Hashem for making my therapy fit into my schedule without my parents, my father's rosh yeshiva, my chassan's rosh kollel, the man in the tallis store, or us getting inconvenienced and without anyone finding out! HUG!

and for keeping me happy anyway regardless of my crazy schedule. HUG!

and for making my chosson call me as i was VERY deep into rid and on the verge of slipping. BIG HUG!

MIZMOR L'SODAH!
THANK YOU HASHEM!
I LOVE YOU!

Are you sure the man in the tallis store wasn't wearing an over-sized streimel and carrying a bayonet?

funny, Guard! if he suddenly hid under the desk then i'd be like "hey! that's guard! he's trying to keep his ID secret! GET HIM, CHOSSON!!!!

I went to the local store to by some stuff when as I crossed the road I heard YH hissing in my ear "look at this blond woman passsing in front of the shop" but then I realised there was bread on the road where I was going and I had to watch my steps not to step on them (YH will not make me poor, no way) and once I broke hiss spell it was easy to continue looking down.

:-* Thanks dad!
