Felt like sharing a small victory.

I was booking a hotel room for a business trip and saw that the "nicer rooms" were only $10 more. They also though had "beautiful view of the pool area".

I did not book that room.

That's the best $10 you ever didn't spend

Treat yourself to a nice sandwich or something.

Oh yeah, happy Leichter day!!

I found myself banging my head against the steering wheel the other day somewhat frustrated after averting my eyes from another trigger and asking Hashem why he had make me "broken"

I then realized that He didn't. He made me perfect. Exactly the way he intended. Perfect. I might have struggles that I must contend with, but I'm not broken.

Good Shabbos

Love,
Eli

Hi Chevra,

It's been a while since I have been active on the forum and it really didn't do me any good.

After a few chats with Skeptical I came to realization that regardless of how good I'm doing I need to be active here (among the other things that I do) because inevitable I start falling when I'm not connected.

So....

I'm back.

What did I miss?
