MAZAL TOV, BOTH OF YOU!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crud, you'd think y'all could give a girl a little notice!

I should have seen it coming from a million miles away, but I didn't. Maybe because you're both a million miles away? Oh, right.

May your lives together be filled with happiness, hatzlacha, health, and all good things! MAZAL TOV!!!!!!

I know this ain't my blog [yet?], but I'd like to mirror what sj said. Thank you all (whether you're an online friend or off).

Being able to vent & show 'true face' to an anonymous [mostly] crowd leaves one with an overwhelming sense of relief and hope as there are those that have gone through most of this before; meaning we get genuine solutions to our mid-life-crisees (plural of crisis?). Though even if these remedies odn't work we know/knew there'd be somene to dump our aching loads on..and get understanding/compassion/presence in return; we weren't some poor soul wasting away in the jungles of Panama (or NY), with no one the wiser as to whether we lived, died or cried.

Thank you for validating the fact that we/me/us were alive (screaming-- yes, but acknowledgement nonetheless), that we were humans too, that we were still good at the end of the day (as Anne Frank reminds us: "It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart." ) regardless of what the environment around us was saying.



May all the wishes poured on us, all the blessings heaped and the happiness conveyed..touch and change each one of us and go on from there; multiplying as it moves in ever-widening circles and never letting us forget that with all the times
there are to cry there are just as many [more!] times to smile.

To everything there is a season; a time to sow and a time to reap, a time to break down and a time to build up, a time to..give heartfelt thanks to Gd, our friends, events that changed us into the human beans' we are today and the world around us [um..mostly].


(and just so you know-- your happiness makes ours even greater!)
