My holy friends, thank you so much for all the encouragement. I fell pretty badly again, but now it's out of my system for a while...hopefully.
I'm very excited that Chanukkah is coming. I believe very strongly in the power of Chanukkah for people to accomplish incredible things, and indeed, I had my longest ever streak two years ago starting with Chanukkah (48 days!). I'm ready to really give this one my all, with no BS and no weak effort. I want to make it, I really do. And this time, BE"H, I WILL DO IT.
So time to take my first step and take on the first day. So far so good!
