Trying

I was talking to someone and they brought up a good point about something that I need to work on. And this is how I feel.


I know what to do.
I just need to do it.
Pay attention
And you'll succeed.
It's just seems like
Even when I try,
I'm still not doing enough.
Then again, it takes time
Besides effort.
Okay, no more procrastinating
I'm going to pay attention
And try harder this time.
B'ezrat Hashem.
And also keep in mind that
Every effort counts.

Stunning

Found this on google images. Some places are absolutely gorgeous at night. Along with many others of course. This one is Cincinatti. Love the colors.

Don't hurt yourself because of others

-
Our actions and behavior can have a very big impact on other people. That's why we need to be careful. Unfortunately, a lot of people in our little world have not internallized this and don't realize what they are doing to others. This could make people throw everything away because they just don't want to deal with it anymore. When this happens though, we should ask ourself about what our observance is based on. Is it based on how others act and behave? Or on wanting to serve G-d and follow our obligation to keep the mitzvos? I agree that people can be really annoying, but we shouldn't deprive our soul because of it. I believe that this is our test. And our challenge is to stay spiritually strong despite how others behave.

Have a good week everyone

Here's the thing

I have a lot on my mind that would be great to mention. But for some reason I don't feel like mentioning it now. And so I think I'll take a break and mention it later.

Have a good week.

My addition to storytellers

-

My addition to elster's storytellers blog here . It's a story I wrote a while ago on my blog and then made a separate blog for it and then deleted it because I didn't feel like finishing it. Well I decided to put it on the storytellers blog, just some of it first, and complete the second part and put that on later.
