Dov/London/me/Guard, etc,

Thank you for your warm (dare I say heartfelt) responses!  me, I really connect with what you said:



I've been finding this to be so true in all areas of life since I began my recovery.  However it seems that if there's generally a 10 foot wall of steel separating our hearts from our heads, when it comes to learning, at least for me (not you, me, me or maybe you too?) the wall is 100 feet thick.  After today's Chizuk e-mail (#508), I see I have to internalize Principle #26 of the Attitude Handbook:

"Am I an eved hashem because it's my nature and/or because it keeps me emotionally happy, or do I serve the Almighty because that's His will and nothing else?"

Focusing on because it keeps me emotionally happy, it seems that when it comes to Avodas Hashem, even working with our hearts is not enough!  In other words, we must serve Hashem even if the feelings are not there.

Do you agree?

It seems to me we need to do whatever we can to serve Hashem, even if we have neither a head nor a heart, ch"v.He will surely make everything right! Am I missing something here, chevra (beside's my head, of course)?

Hey, I thought today's e-mail would cheer you up...

Maybe this will get you into Bardichev mood: In 100 days from now you'll be finishing your SUKKA!

Berdichev, see reply #25 on this page, it will cheer you up!

hello heiliger

whats the tune HENTALACH???

What is HENTALACH??

men trinkt lchaim un men is freilach un gayt ah karahuttt!!!

I was wondering was a "karahuttt" means?

BTW. Wasn't that video SO YOU, Bardichev??

Berdichev down?

Call the paramedics! Hey, it's even brought me rushing over from the womens side! I almost jumped the mechitza! :-[

You cant be down Rav Heilige Humble and HAPPY; who's going to arrange my kiddish? :o

Seriously, I dont know why you're feeling low, but we are all with you - always. You've become such an intrinsic part of this board, and by definition, of our lives.

May you always feel Hashems hug,
7Up

Bardichev

Notice the big B.  Now is no time for small B's.

If this doesn't cheer you up then I do not know what will: one day me and you are going to go boating together.  It will be TWO baalei teshuvah in the boat. 

So keep your spirits up and of course keep our spirits up. 

And look at all the great friends that care for you here on this site.   

Dear Bardichev
