look for the beauty

my favorite time of year . .

remembering

from Erev Yom Kippor 5772

one of the many things i love about Judaism is the rituals . . and lighting a candle to honor and remember our loved ones that have passed is a powerful way to stop what we do and remember. Remember who we love, who we miss, and really who we are.

I miss you Dad....

Keeping Postive

thankful for lifes blessings......and the simple things like eating a delish apple

Sick Day redux

Oct 14

There is something satisfying knowing that its ok to watch movies and lay on the couch all day. Granted I wish i didn't have this flu/cold thing, but I gave in and lazed all day.
The Yogi tea seems to help and goes perfect with breakfast and I adore the little pearls of wisdom they leave on the tag...
First movie choice of the day was back to the classics with, An Affair to Remember....hokey yes, but Carey Grant is oh so smooth...I can picture a remake with George Clooney perhaps? . . Debra Kerr was ok, im sure Audrey Hepburn would have been a better choice.
Lunch time was my batch of Chicken soup with some fig newtons - very healing...i guess i can't seem to give up the Chicken just yet although after watching "A beautiful Truth" last night - im getting closer to it...
Time for Woody Allen... Melinda and Melinda...and one of my favorite opening scenes from a move "

              The essence of life isn't comic. lt's tragic. 

Sick Day

October 13
Bummer being sick when you have a 4 day weekend. What to do ? . . Watch classic movies and make chicken soup. Hitchcock and Hepburn today and my love affair with movies was renewed. The soup was good too, not my grandmothers, nor my mothers, but satisfying and delish just as well.
