For the past 48 minutes it has been my birthday. I'm not sure what to say other than to wish myself many blessings for the coming year. I have many blessings today too. I will make a list of some of the blessings in my life today, for myself.
I went to a wedding today (or rather Sunday), and it was a special Chuppah. The Rabbi had the people come up and surround the Chosson and Kallah and give them blessings, and sing and dance for them surrounding the Chuppa. In some ways it actually reminded me of the Chassidic wedding I went to recently in that sense. He spoke of love and that love must come with humility, because to love we have to have the capacity to make space for another person, to give to the other person, to be sensitive to their needs.
I'm tired and have a sore throat now. I should get some tea along with many other things for my new place. I'm mostly moved in...and spreading out....I wanted to buy stuff and move in more to my apartment today, but I also wanted to go to the wedding. In the end, I think it was a good move to go to the wedding (although either way would have been a good move - don't you both love and hate those decisions?), it was very appropoe the day before my birthday to spend it with other people dancing for the wedding. It felt nice and comforting to be doing that.
