Count the Omer-Week 3-/Tiferet (COMPASSION)-Day 1/Chesed (LOVE)

Fish taco with lots of extra free veggies is the healthier choice.

Week 3-/Tiferet (COMPASSION)-Day 1/Chesed (LOVE)

“People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.” 
-Thich Nhat Hanh-

"Why didn't I do this ten years ago?!" my friend said to me as we sat having tea after services at our synagogue. We are both trying to eat healthy and by different methods have lost weight. Why don't we get out of our situations of suffering sooner? Is it that we need to love ourselves more? Maybe we are afraid of the journey or failing. Present moment, beautiful moment. Thankful that the vision needed to be put in focus has happened.

After nightfall on Saturday:

BA-RUCH A-TAH ADO-NAI E-LO-HE-NU ME-LECH HA-OLAM 
ASHER KID-E-SHA-NU BE-MITZ-VO-TAV VETZI-VA-NU AL SEFI-RAT HA-OMER.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us concerning the counting of the Omer.

Today is fifteen days which is two weeks and one day of the Omer.
