Filling up my days

... Continuing in my goal to write a little, more often, on LJ :

Yesterday (Saturday) was a satisfying day. However, I forgot to go to Selichot services. It's a special pre-Rosh Hashana late-night prayer service. The name means something like 'forgivenesses'. And that's all I know. I have never been to one.

But it feels like something I could use. I imagine a reflective time combined with some texts dealing with *how* to effectively forgive and how to honestly seek forgiveness.

The seeking forgiveness is being hard for me this year.

In fact, the failings that I recollect this year are overwhelmingly against myself.

On the one hand, that could be progress.

On the other hand, it could just mean I am overlooking ways I failed, hurt, or disappointed others.

(And it maybe means that I have not reached outside myself [-and-jw] enough this year.)

So, if I have hurt you, and overlooked it, this year ... Or if you have other helpful observations to share that might not have involved you per se, please tell me about it in the comments or by email. Or phone. Or letter. Actually letter would be awesome. ... And I'm gonna stop there. We get the idea. Anyway, please.

Comments screened.






Next year is another chance to do my best.

Hokey but true quote, heard from Chaggigah today

"The difference between a dream and a goal is a deadline."

True dat.
