High Holidays Thoughts

As the High Holidays come around, I find that I begin to reflect on what my priorities will be in the coming year. In fact, I am glad that the holidays force this introspection. I am going to plant a garden and try to grow some vegetables that I usually buy at the farmer's markets. I am going to read more; knit blanket squares for people in need; try to finish the garage job I started earlier this year so I can create a TV studio for my husband; learn to say "no" to inane volunteer events; work on some political campaigns for deserving, well-meaning candidates; exercise with my husband; try to remain calm while dealing with a teen-aged daughter and, generally, be thankful that I am here to celebrate another High Holiday season. I will also do my part to try to make the world a better place, countering the impact of decisions by GWB and his newly appointed Supreme Court Chief Justice.
