The purpose of this blog is to turn your Shabbat conversation into a journey... Please print and share...
Happy birthday shout-out to Shelli in SF!
Here's a follow-up to last week's summertime theme.
If you're like me, you try to eat healthily, exercise regularly, and are hopefully in pretty good shape.
Or so you think, until you try doing what we did the other day - climbing a 3,000-vertical-feet peak in the lower Cascades.
That's a stroll for some, a major mountain for others.
For everyone, it's a self-assessment of strength, balance, and stamina.
Like the mountain of life?
Like the mountain of life, the journey up is not straight - it's zig-zag.
Like the mountain of life, it's easy to get fixated on the goal and forget to enjoy every step.
Like the mountain of life, there are those who perfer to go it alone and those who want company.
Like the mountain of life, there are those who are focused on their own journey, and those who are always looking for someone to lend a hand to.
Like the mountain of life, there are some who prefer to take the easy way up, via car, and the easy way down, via hang-glider.
And like the mountain of life, there are those who'd rather not make any effort, and stay at the bottom.
Question for your table - What kind of mountain climber are you?
Shabbat Shalom. PS - If you're looking for a great breezy summer read, click on the image above.
