dancingyelwell, here we are again at yom kippur time. i'm not sure what to write, actually...not quite in yom kippur space yet, not even after thinking about it for several days. weird. hopefully, by the time the fast starts and i'm at services, i'll feel more settled and ready to pray. anyhow, i feel like i should do my regular yearly general apology, so here it is. i haven't done everything the way i wished to this year, particularly when it comes to people. i feel like i haven't kept in touch or responded to comments and emails and such as well as i should have. i've definitely neglected people, and i apologize for that. the thing i feel most sorry for is that i don't do my best in so many situations. i don't give my best effort, not ever, really, and by doing that, i'm short-changing myself, but also all my friends, who surely deserve more than a half-hearted elaine. so, apologies, and an intent to do better next year.
sorry, rambly and vague and not making much sense. it's been an odd year, and an odd few months, and yom kippur is coming way too fast for me. hopefully, i'll get into a good mindset over the next few hours. it'll be difficult tomorrow, since david will be at chemo, the last big dose (and the last dose in general, one hopes) and i can't be there because i'll be at services. meep. but such is life, and that was the timing and yom kippur can't be changed. so there we are.
for all of you who are fasting, have an easy and meaningful fast. for those who are observing in other ways, have a meaningful day in general. and for every one else, if you have fasting friends, be nice to them! no taunting them with food! heh. i will not be reachable until monday night, just so everyone knows. the phone will be off and i won't be going online. see you on the other side!
