5773 Year in Review:

Started working on my dealing with my lust problem
Which led to a better "everything"
Started new job
Which helped me start get my financial situation on track
Started exercising
Which led to
Loosing weight and
being healthier in general
which makes me feel better physically
New chavrusah
Which helped me get my learning more on track

HKBH has been incredibly kind to me (always, but I guess I have an easier time seeing it this year).

I hope to be able to "repay the goodness" to Hashem.

I thought that I was dying a slow death drowning in lust.

GYE has shown me that there is a path out that hell.

I can't thank you enough.

May you all be blessed with a k'siva vachasima tova and merit a year of simcha and menuchas hanefesh.

Love,

Eli

We can never really "repay" Hahem, but we can recognize his goodness which is what you've done. May all the good stuff continue to get better. Have a k'siva v'chasima tova!

I wrote my wife a letter telling her that I know that I have not been spending enough time with her (emotionally and simply spending time with her) and that I intend to change that. That was in January. I recently saw that my wife keeps that note with her in her purse.

The fact that she holds onto that note shows that for her, Eli is the most relevant and important of all the humans on this planet, you Eli are the single most important one.

That is a huge thing to her - too bad realizing that and truly accepting that fully is so hard for us 'overaged bochurim'. We are babies and don't really grow up and realize how important we are to another person! It's not something to boost your ego - it is a responsibility of real living and real loving.

Boy, do we have a long way to go...

Nah, she's just hanging on to it so she can hold it against you later. "But you promised...."

Yeah gevurah, just like I said - even if she is angry and holding onto it for that: IT'S BECAUSE HE IS THE MOST POWERFUL RELATION IN HER LIFE RIGHT NOW. Who said that the worst relationship is hatred? Not me. It's indifference.

(Sorry, I know you were just kidding....but I'm in a serious mood, so I don't care. Ha! )

(Not really that serious, but kind of serious.)

(OK, maybe not serious at all.)

(never mind...food night)

(I meant, good night, not 'food' night)
