It’s the little things that matter. What is it that make one happy? Is it money? Is it wealth? Is it getting that newest bag or that trendiest fashion item? Or is it the little things? In my thirties, I realize that for me now it is the little things. A thought, a gesture, an…

Being in a contemplative mood today a title of a book pops suddenly into my head: Harold Kushner’s “When All You’ve Ever Wanted Isn’t Enough.” I have to admit I have not yet read this book by Rabbi Kushner but somehow the title has intriqued me on more occasions than one. It’s a title that…

This afternoon, as I sat there watching and reading the news about the earthquake in Japan, I cannot help but feel a sense of sadness and a certain emptiness inside. The quake measured 8.9 on the richter scale. This is no little affair even for Japan which is used to having earthquakes. I pray that there are no devastating aftershocks…

It’s Sunday. Sundays are times for relaxing and as I’ve written before in my post entitled “Lazy Sundays Wanted” its a day I want to just sit back, relax, and plan my week ahead. Since my post exactly 9 months ago, I’ve been getting alot better at not running around on Sundays. Still it’s a work in progress and I…
