My Blog

After much contemplation on starting a blog, I decided to sign up to blogger.com. Then came the challenge of naming the blog. What is a theme that is central to who I am, central to Judaism, and central to making one a better, and more focused human being? Gratitude. Thus my blog was born. I hope that my ideas and thoughts can bring value to you, the reader, and to me, so that I can express my thoughts. Thoughts can do nothing in your head but float around. Thoughts, when developed, turn into speech. And speech when developed, turn to action. I hope that you, the reader, will always have the courage to want to develop your speech,thoughts, and actions into greater things.

I have not yet decided if I will write on a specific theme. I think that rather I will write on whatever life brings my way. Please enjoy the ride.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
