Some days life is overwhelming.  
It's been that way this week.  
All the more reason to slow down, take a deep breath, and remember to see the glass as half full. 
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam for giving us perspective and enabling us to see the goodness all around us.  
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.
