Friday night – patzover and Ellen’s 94th birthday

Just off a really fun second Seder with my fathers extended family , the Patzs . There were more than 50’of us on the Zoom call. We had folks from all over the us and be few other countries (I think). It was a pretty activist Haggadah. Lots of social justice wrapped in there which suits me . At the right moment e all lit candles and sang happy birthday to our wonderful aunt Ellen. She’s 94 and still whip smart and fun

It was great to all be there for her

Happy peasach everyone

Nite all, nite Sam

Wednesday night – heart felt

I’ve been noticing that many people , myself Included are showing signs of stream because of the covid in crisis.… Not just in The stress of the crisis itself… But it Comes out in other ways… Exhaustion, grouchyness , argumentativeness. Etc. I’ve been experiencing it a lot in my work communications… And about half the time I’m the culprit.

I think the stress comes out in those small ways because it’s too hard for our hearts to take in the magnitude of what is actually happening to the world right now.… It’s kind of a transference.

That was on my head this morning when I went out for a run. While running I came across two “hearts”. Which re-charge me a little…

That moment of mindfulness actually lasted me the rest of the day. Whenever I found myself feeling grouchy… I recognized it for what it was… And it went away.

That was my lesson for today

Nite all, nite sam
