- A generous, caring daughter, sister, niece, and friend.
- A traveler: to Michigan to visit Aunt Claire; to Chicago, a city I haven't seen, and home to friends I don't see often enough; and to California for more visits -- the Wilcox Azimovs, the Harrises, and Julie, one of my newest friends.
- A reader who downs books as fast as others down beer on Super Bowl Sunday.
- More carefree and maybe just a little irreverent, à la Lenny Thal, Jake Jacobs, or Elliott Kleinman.
- Less nervous, impatient, and frustrated by daily encounters.
- Patient and tolerant in day-to-day interactions.
- Helpful to and supportive of my BRCA sisters.
- A blogger with time to write meaningful posts.
- Grateful for each and every blessing that is mine.
- Content with myself and at peace in my life.
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.
