geshtantzimfleegin should really be spelled gesztanzuflugen with some of those funny dashes and ballies on top of certain letters that i would've added if i would know how to here>, and it was first coined on feburary 8th 1289 by emperor william the 5th, its meaning is unclear but it was definitely coined then. Emperor William the 5th is also responsible for introducing the words twitzilhanpfen, and fleerenhaben, all with no known meanings. after all he was the emperor and able to put whatever he wanted in the dictionary [even though according to wikipedia the first german dictionary was written in 1838] and nobody dared tell the emperor, hey where's the definition, that would've been like saying the emperor has no clothes.
to use these words in a sentence: geshtantzifleegen! the twitzilhanpfen ate the whole fleerenhaben.
isn't german amazing?

Why do those germanese words end with 'en'. Aren't there 'shpiels' and 'och'and of course 'kurtz' words?

An Awe and Wonder moment:  From Chizuk Email 922:

12-Step

Beginning Recovery

"Duvid Chaim" shares:

In the Doctor's opinion of the Big Book, we learned that that our disease is an "allergy" - meaning that our disease is actually out of our control, that we aren't bad or immoral or sinful people, but that we are under the effects of a disease - not only physical but also spiritual and mental. Accordingly, the pathway to our freedom from the disease is a spiritual one - one that implies that our efforts should be directed towards becoming more "aware" and connected of Hashem in our lives.

That's why we discussed The A&W Moments (Awe and Wonder)  as a way to stay "connected."  We need to learn to build our awareness of how G-d's hand is in our daily lives.  It could be as small as realizing how blessed we are to go to the bathroom or as major as seeing how we barely missed a car that had stopped in front of us without warning.  It could be the smell of a freshly bloomed rose, or seeing the sun set over the ocean.

There are lots of awesome moments full of wonder that come into our life that we ignore or overlook. PLEASE take time today to see or feel them.

The 5 Attributes of a Man in Recovery are:
Unselfish - Who do I think about most?
Absence of Profit Motive - Am I a giver or a taker?
Community Spirit - Are you an "Island?"
Believe in Themselves - "I may have made a mistake" (guilt) vs. "I am a mistake" (shame)
Believe that the Power I have is from Above

Awesome and Wonderful!
