Even if no one is reading this, just the idea that I can post this somewhere is meaningful. One day at a time. So this is day 1. :-\ I think I need to check the attitude handbook.

I really should be asleep right now, but I got a phone call that pulled me out of bed. So I figured that it was also an opportunity to share with you all an amazing thing that happened. After I wrote my last post, I went to bed feeling pretty good about the day. Without even realizing it I started saying shema. Big deal, right? You have to understand, I have been forgetting to say Krias Shema al hamita for years. I've been kicking myself for years, to no avail. It certainly was not a habit of mine. But suddenly tonight it just came naturally. I'm blown away! Good night for real and thanks again!

Sleepless nights were always bad news. BIG NISAYON !!!! Now I just got out of bed and wrote a few posts. Gevaldik! Thank you GuardYourEyes! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! May you and all those involved be forever blessed with all good things!

I opened my browser and I was more interested to see the forum than my email or the news. Sounds silly once its written out. But for me it's significant. Thanks everyone for being there. And hey... Be careful out there! (sorry that's an old reference to when I was a teenager.)

I just wanted to say that if frum ladies or young women realized what their perfume does to people of the male persuasion, they would stop immediately. Breathing thru your mouth only for long periods of time isnt easy, but it helps! Feeling good! Good night everyone! Hatzlacha Rabbah!
