Hello, visited your site again today. I do quite often to see what you're up to and feel guilty when I don't sign your guestbook. I was so startled to see your granddaughter and so excited and happy for you. I saw her face all day yesterday at various times. She must make your heart want to burst.

I haven't started on the web page. I've been swamped at work. SOB! Today is Saturday and I hope to get some cozy-type, feel-good things done today!!

Yes, about the dentist thing...now that I know you're still in Israel, every time something comes on the news about an attack there, I'm more glued than ever.

It's funny, somehow I just thought that you were back in the States. I wonder you people over there must think about our school shootings!? Although they seem so remote to me, even as the problems in Israel seem so remote. I think maybe it doesn't seem real and that's why your things like going to the dentist are the scary things...because it's reality for you right then. (?)

It's the strangest thing. My friend Ida (we work together) was going on and on about having to go to the dentist and how frightened she is. I mean here we are facing terrorist attacks EVERY DAY! Israel: [the news] but I guess this is our way of coping with our frustration and feelings of hopelessness.

It was so... nice to see the pictures and... the video clips, Cathy, Cari looks just like I remember you!!
Hey - I'll be showing off with pictures of my kids too, soon. Did I tell you that I have a beautiful 8 year old
granddaughter?

I am so proud of myself today - I managed to get the pop-up windows to work. wow! so click on the above links if you please.

As you can see I'm making progress and I've added a 'profile' to my blog. I know I should have an 'about me' page done and I will - I'm just a little slow. In the meanwhile, there is a picture of me in my Nar-Anon page if you want to see what I look like.

I don't believe I got through the day. I had such a bad time emotionally at work today. I constantly fall into the same traps and I don't learn! - to keep my mouth shut! At least I don't have to see that place until sunday. I need a vacation...

Create Your Own Life Map - "Our soul speaks to us in images. Our heads speak to us in thoughts... It's hard to ignore when it's staring you right in the face. It's as if you're literally creating your life as a work of art."

Doing some Blog reading before going out. I'm so nervous - I have an appointment in the Municipal offices about some back taxes and I hope everything works out (help-me-G-please). But anyway if you want to enjoy cute bumper stickers: ang.gerl

Thank you Catherine - you are so sweet. p.s... I got myself a cute bug too - I saw it at your place.
Cathy A. - I saw the entry in my guest book and - I love you...

Sharing, exchanging ideas, learning and being able to communicate with people all over the world through the internet is a new experience for me and it is very exciting - even addictive! I mean I get up in the morning and before I go to work, I turn on the computer to see if someone visited my site or signed my guest book. When I talk about the internet with friends or with people at work, they don't know what I'm talking about and what I find so fascinating about the internet.

We are celebrating Purim. Purim is a happy holiday, the holiday of masks and costumes. On this holiday we can wear a new identity and become anyone or anything we'd like. Last year at Purim my friends and I went up to Zefat (Safed) to spend the weekend at Ascent and it was such a fulfilling spiritual experience -- and so much fun. Celebrating with Chabad is absolutely enriching and a memorable experience. Just for fun -- from Ascent's joke archive :

Do you find it difficult to remember all the different
themes of the numerous Jewish holidays?
Here is an eleven-word summary:
"They tried to kill us, G-d helped, we won, let's eat!"

isn't that something.
I found the letters you wrote me Cathy -- I hope you don't mind my posting this stuff because I am really enjoying this. I keep everything -- you wouldn't believe this but I still have my subway pass from school!

I never did get over my love for Alix and it had a big affect on how my life has turned out afterwards.

I'm occupying myself with the design of this blog, envious of all the beautifully designed blogs that I see. I don't know why I beat myself up, considering myself not "creative" enough.

Finding Balance
Our new way of life is intended to produce growth. But growth takes work. And work needs play for balance. If we forget to play and be joyful, our life will become unbalanced and we will suffer needlessly.
Have I found some balance in my life?
Higher Power, help me remember that all living things need balance: let me laugh, let me play, let me grow. Serenity now

I can't get over my excitement. I received an e-mail from a High School girlfriend who found me through classmates.com Considering we graduated from High School in 1969 and the fact that after graduating I moved back to Israel, I think that is really something!

Hi Cathy - As you can see I still have your photo.

I hope you are not shocked by the topic of my website, never mind that I am still working on the translation of the site to English. Anyway - Addiction was our family's path to spirituality and for that I am grateful.
