Nonetheless, if I had my druthers and could make some changes in my life, I might attempt to be:
- Less impatient
- More relaxed
- More irreverent
- Less eager to please
- Less of a yekke
- More forthright
- Less gullible
- More outgoing
- More inquisitive
- More flexible
On the other hand, if I was able to make all these changes successfully, would I still be me in all my quirkiness? Would I still be comfortable with who I am? Would I still be the one in my skin?
Inspired by Ima on (and off) the Bima, this #BlogElul post is one in a series marking the days of the Hebrew month of Elul, which precedes the Jewish High Holidays and traditionally serves as a time of reflection and spiritual preparation for the new year.
