So my life currently revolves around way too much thinking. Planning, anticipating, worrying, even fearing. So instead I think about the fat pile of books in my life! I’ve come to the conclusion I need a regularly scheduled post. I dig the Where I am Wednesday line of thinking so what the hey, I might just make that my regular. It could be a nice internal catch up with myself and what’s literally happening.

Just a taste of what I have been doing in the last week.
This is what I finished.
#3 is still my favorite though.
This is what I am currently in the midst of: spooky and nostalgic all in the same reading time
And last but not least:
This is my next review read.
I am very excited!

L’Shana haba’a birushalayim!
Next year in Jerusalem!
We had been saying those words for 1,897 years, ever since the Romans smashed our Temple and banished us from the Holy City. In all that time, other people controlled our holiest shrine, other people told us when and how we could pray there or even walk there. Other people desecrated our cemeteries there and built latrines out of our ancestors’ gravestones. And then, in 1967, after a war we didn’t start and didn’t want, suddenly we had access, we were in charge, we had control. It was a miracle.
Stop for a moment and consider that: for 1,897 years, we were denied free access to our holiest shrine. Imagine Catholics shut out of Rome. Imagine Muslims told that they could not visit Mecca. Unthinkable!
I am a liberal Jew who prays for and works for a two-state solution. I donate regularly to Rabbis for Human Rights

Hey guys,
Just another little update. I know I haven’t been very active in the last week or so. Lots of stuff going on and I just haven’t had it in me to post or have much to post.
I promise to be back soon.

Just wanted to share a little bit of news with my web friends. I got engaged this weekend to my matchless boyfriend Ken. I couldn’t dream up a better human being than him. I am so lucky. I can’t wait to for the next phase of our life together!
