Day 23! :-D

K9 killed my internet connection - some conflict w/ my firewall. I'm hoping I won't have this problem in the future....

Doing pretty good...I'm just gonna remind myself eveyday from now on (on here):

I DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER THE YETZER HARAS KNOCK. Nothing will happen NOTHING! WILL HAPPEN if I ignore it.

B"H, BH, you've got THAT right!!

When we don't look, WE LOSE NOTHING!!

There's that pretty girl on the street you're about to pass... you felt that if I don't look when I can, she'll be gone and I've lost my chance. So you take a few oggles - but remember -  just 60 seconds after you spec-out a girl on the street, after she's around the corner, or out of the rear-view mirror, you FORGET about her, and realize that she means NOTHING. This peep did NOT improve your life. And you realize that YOU HAVE NO PROFIT IN IT AT ALL.

Now next time you notice her, you turn away and force yourself NOT to look by remembering the above idea. Guess what? As soon as she's out of sight and you CAN'T look anymore, you realize YOU DIDN'T LOSE ANYTHING. This non-peep did NOT hurt your life. But now you realize that ADDARABBA, by restraining yourself from the YH, YOU HAVE IMPROVED YOUR LIFE! YOU HAVE TREMENDOUS PROFIT from those few seconds when the urge was there and you ignored it.

It's amazingly refreshing when we ignore the "knock" of the YH.

Good Luck today, my brilliant friend.

KUTGW!!!

Become holy. Did i get it right??

Keep on ignoring the YHs knock!! Its gonna get ya far!!

hatzlacha and have a great shabbos!

good Shabbos, BH!!

good Week, BH!!

Thanks everyone :-)

Friday was my Grandmother's yartzheit so I went to visit her kever, and didn't make it on here. But shabbos was amazing with one quasi slip... will update later :-)

I just had a brainstorm. Next time you fall, don't get upset at yourself. Get ANGRY at your Yetzer hara. He AGAIN lied to you. Deceived you. Made you believe you HAD to do it. That if you wouldn't do it you wouldn't make it. Sit there and analyze how bad of a friend your yetzer really is. Get angry at him.

From that point on you will watch him like you watch that guy at work who always takes credit for your work. Or that janitor that stole from you. Or.....

Every time he tries to "get" you, you will scream at him "Who do you think I AM? Stupid?? Enough already! You're the scum of the earth Mr Yetzer. I see through you and I know you're not interested in my good."

Keep knocking, Mr. Yetzer... I know its your job. But I'm gonna keep that door locked. You're staying out in the cold.

26 days! Yay :-)

Thats Yud Kay Vav Kay, i.e the sheim hameforash of Hashem!

-Yiddle

I now have a google voice #.

(424) BEHOLY1

Please  say GYE or BeHoly when you're asked to state your name for connection so I can know its a GYE Call.

Call anytime :-)

YO BH, I don't know if you're on the Googlephone,

but you gotta keep posting, man. No Excuses!!

Take out an O and move a G over, and it turns into OGGLE,

which is something we all wanna stay away from.

"Wow...This means something..." (OK, let's play Name That Reference again!)...
