HAPPY IS GOOD

I am basically a happy person. I wake up eager to start a new day. I'm almost jolly. No, no I don't HO HO HO...but I sure like to laugh a lot.

A lot has been going on in my life over the past couple of weeks...heavy stuff...family stuff...and as a sun sign Cancer and with Leo rising, well, family means everything to me. They hurt, I hurt. They worry, I worry. They are happy, I'm happy.

That's me the weather vane of the Ben Moshe clan.

This morning I woke up happy again. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and today marks the beginning of a new week and a new everything.

Isn't it wonderful to have something to look forward to?

Bubbie Channah always said there are two terrible curses. One, that G-d forbid a parent has to bury a child. Tfu tfu tfu!!! And, two, that a person has a beautiful house but no one ever comes in to visit.

She's right. As always. Bubbie Channah is ALWAYS right.

Today, I want to add a third curse. That a person wakes up without the feeling that today is a new day, and tomorrow will be better.

I have stopped reading the news. I have avoided listening to the news on TV. Ok, ok, I do access the headlines online and when I'm on the bus I struggle to hear the news over the noise of the passengers. But, usually, I do my ostrich imitation. Trust me, not a pretty sight. {sigh}

And, why you might ask? Because it is all doom and gloom. For the most part everyone wants to kill us and it's our fault.

Now, I do have a great deal to comment on that above sentence. But it would be like preaching to the choir. And, besides...it's much too lovely a day in Jerusalem. The sun is shining...there is a crisp breeze blowing...there isn't one lonely cloud in the sky. And, it's Jerusalem, for G-d's sake!!!

So, let me wish you all a sweet shavuah tov (a good week) and may today be lovely and tomorrow even better. Yahooooooooooooooo.

Have a great day...stay safe...and thanks for dropping in.
