Hello my dear friends. Just saying hello to get back into the chevra.

Glad to see you back.

How goes it on the homefront?

Talkin' about your struggles here also helps, and you know that.

Continued hatzlachah

WELCOME BACK!

Great to see you again!!

Maybe you can stay for longer? What can we do to accommodate you? Would you like a drink? We have a choice of out-of-style Woodford, or the new trend...BANANA LIQUOR!!!

We can get you peanuts (if the elephant hasn't finished them yet), muffins (they've been hiding for a while), or, of course, DOUGHNUTS!!!!!

KIT!!! KOP!!

A friendly piece of advice before the High Holy Days.

Thank you Cordnoy for dragging me back to the forum. It feels good to be back in secure territory with healthy and caring friends.
A Git Gebensht Yuhr!

I don't think we met. I think we share alot of common friends from GYE.
Hope to get to know you.

Welcome back....again!!

Your last return was for one post....to tell us that you're returning, I hope this return gets a few more posts!!

KOP brother!!

Hi Unu,
I'd love to get to know you. You can send me emails direct to my gmail at pischoshelmachat@gmail.com. Then we can share telephone numbers if you wish so we can be mechazek each other. I will need any chizzuk you are able to offer.
Pidaini, thank you for your shot of reality.
I want to publicly thank Cordnoy for persistently helping me get my S4 protected with Qustodio. It is not foolproof but it is a real "move". I ask that the RBS"O see this move and help me day by day get closer to him. The longest clean streak I had was while posting and communicating regularly. I love having emails and phone numbers of GYE friends who I can call when I need chizzuk, feel overwhelmed and feel the YH lurking behind me.
Right now I feel very bad because I had a good week and I was all full of myself thinking how great I am when the YH snuck up behind be and knocked me off my feet with a surprise attack from my flank that I least expected and was completely exposed.
I was chazering with my 12 year old son last night and I lost my patience and screamed at him in a highly abusive manner. Children have no defense against abusive parents and I am still sick to my stomach about my slip. The YH trounced me with KAAS. It was after the taanis, I was tired and my son "remembered he had a test tomorrow" on mishnayos that he did not know at all. I was a sitting duck and the YH ripped me to shreds.
I missed my Sunday morning Iggeres Haramban that usually reminds me to speak softly and stay calm. So I am clean this week but HKB"H still cannot tolerate my presence because of my Kaas and Gaavah. The YH is laughing straight to the bank.

Why do we make assumptions?

Why do we assume Hashem wants us to be perfect?

Hashem wants us to make an effort to improve.

You have a choice. You can wallow in your slip up, picture Hashem being disgusted at you, and the YH laughing in your face, or you can resolve to continue working on your middos.

Hatzlacha!

That line stuck out at me as well.
I know what Chazal say about Hashem and a baal gayvah, but I am pretty sure that if you are workin' on it, He is more than fine with havin' you dwell in this world.

Good Morning My Dear Friends,
During these special days of Asseres Ymei T'shuvah I feel a closeness to Hashem...actually, I feel that the RBS"O wants to be close to me. The YH feels it even more because he comes up with the greatest ideas to distract me from davening. He even knows when I feel shtark so he waits for an opportune moment to get me.
I feel like the RBSO is watching my every move and listening to my every word because he so wants to help me and accept my tefilos. He is so eager that we say in Shma Koleinu, " Kee Ata Shomeah Tefilas "KOL PEH", I take that to mean even a mouth that might have spoken previously nivul peh, improper intimate talk with a women and other repulsive things, he still loves us and wants to hear from us. But I also understand it as Kol Peh even though there is no Kol Rosh, in other words, even if we are not totally focused on our words of tefila, we are spacing out, HKBH still wants to hear from us. This makes me "space in" and put extra effort into my teffilla because HKBH wants it so badly. He wants to grant me parnossa, health, good children, long life, inner peace and tranquility, shalom bayis, even more than I want it.
I feel his unconditional love, never getting frustrated and always eager to hear from me.
May we all grow close to HKBH and may we all be granted all the good things that HKBH has for us and wants to give us so badly.

A Gitten Kvittel my dear friends.
Let's stick together and protect ourselves no matter how hectic it gets.

Hello My Dear Friends,
Dear Friends,
As we approach Simchas Torah, I want to share an inspiring thought I heard from Rabbi Breitowitz in the name of a Rebbe that I cannot remember. All neshamos have a strong need for happiness, celebration and thrill. On Simchas Torah, a day mesugal for this overflow of simcha, we must dance our heads off to fulfill the need of our soul for this thrill so our soul will not seek it out in places where we should not.
All the very best for an uplifting Hoshana Rabba, Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah
The YH is working in overdrive to get me so please daven for me!
Thank you!
