How did you do with last week's no-complaining challenge?
Speaking of changing habits, yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking at a Jewish men's recovery house.
People in addiction recovery are the most amazing people. They are turning their lives around in a profound way. They have decided that they want to travel on a different path that is less harmful to themselves and their relationships.
It's incredibly hard but they are doing it, and learning to take it one day at a time.
So why a "recovery house"? And what might make it "Jewish"? And why do you suppose they call it being "in recovery"????
I'll leave those questions for your dinner table discussion. I hope it will be fruitful.
Shabbat Shalom
