my son, neryah, who is a year and four months old came with me to a torah dedication on sunday, he was so excited to dance with the torah and all the music, he wouldn't let me leave for a second, every time i did, he would repeatedly remind me about the torah (and complain) until i went back so he could clap some more. that he was so excited about celebrating the birth of a new sefer torah brought me a sort of happiness i never knew existed (nachat)

Chana, your friends as well as the readers of this blog know how very busy you are with school work,newspaper and at least 100 other things. I bet you I know what to say to you in order to make you happy. How about the following: Chana,just sit back and relax, I will do all of your work today. Are you smiling? That's a girl!
Unforgettable, that's what you are Unforgettable though near or far Like a song of love that clings to me How the thought of you does things to me Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way And forever more, that's how you'll stay That's why, darling, it's incredible That someone so unforgettable Thinks that I am unforgettable too - - - Irving Gordon, "Unforgettable"
But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you. And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new. Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life, I love you more. "

Hello TCJ. My happiest moment was life-changing. I grew up, thank heaven. My oldest daughter, who is 19 now, when she was young, looked up at me and spoke her first word. I will never forget it as long as I live. It then hit me like a ton of bricks. I think I grew up on that day. A word so full of emotion and it was so simple she just held out her little arms and said "Daddy". LOL, I have tears in my eyes, right now remembering it. Have a good day everyone.

For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more. "

Any day when it's raining, and I'm working at the coffee shop. And then I get home and eat grilled cheese, with tomato. That is lovely.
ReplyDeleteOr the rainy Sunday when I wore my new peacoat and went shopping for presents for my friend, feeling Parisian. Ah, good days.
