Pray

It's something I do more often today. Not in temple. I don't really go, although I'd like to start again.

My place to pray is in the shower oddly enough. In my opinion, the place doesn't matter. The content and sincerity do. I generally pray for other people - usually the people I love or people having a hard time. Or I just thank g-d (something you should know - Jews don't write the word with an o because it's considered disrespectful). I have so many things to be thankful for and I don't take them for granted. I'm lucky and I know it. I appreciate it. Sometimes I pray for a little help, but I think we could all use that.

I've also been working on being bolder. My thing is that I'm bold and then I stop, so I'm trying to keep it going. Knowing what you want helps. I did well tonight though. I took a risk...not quite the one I wanted to, but life can't always be planned and predictable. Someone special taught me that.
