Did you know that shabbat is approaching? Finally after a long week of studying and working hard on our middout the time had come to start rejoicing and welcoming the shabbat Queen! I'm so thrilled. I was listening to Lev Tahor 4, my favorite shabbat theme cd, on my way to school and as usual i became increasingly excited to perpare for shabbat!
First i'd like to thank the peroducers and singers in that cd becuase it ALWAYS manages to brighten my mood and help me get into the mindset of shabbat after a long weekSecond, i really wanted to share this serine feeling i have with you in an effert to shre it with you. I hoenstly believe that we're very lucky to have the gift of shabbat! It's one day a week where we can readdjust our perspective and focus on the world we live in. A time that h'b gives us to rest from our dayly distractions and realign our behavior to parallel with His will and mitzvout.
This is not a new thing, we all know this information.
However, i'm afraid that we've forgotten, a little, just how speacial shabat is. It's difficult to value anything that we've had since our birth and continue to have til we're 120.
So i just thought i'd remind myself and you how lucky we are to have a day to STOP!

Thank You Hashem for giving us a day where we don't have to deal w/ outside influences, and rushing around. We should appreciate the fact that we get to sit & 'chill out' in the comfort of our own homes (or like last year- dorms, lol)
