I'm taking a break from blogging, for two major reasons :
a. I find it hard to concentrate on chosen topics, while there's war and tragedy going on in my Middle Eastern area.
b. The High Holy Days season (New Year, The Day of Atonement , Sukkot...) starts on the 2nd of October. I have to think of ways to welcome these holy days, in spite of the messy situation, and the expected escalation of conflicts in the region.
Hoping, and praying to God for better times.
Wishing you all, the very best!
Duta. .

Dear Blogging Friends,
THANK YOU all for your kind words, your deep concern for my safety, your sincere prayers, your wise advice.
God Bless You!
Hopefully, circumstances will improve in the near future, enabling me to resume my interest in blogging.
Hugs.
If you are in Australia during the High Holy Days, please eat dinner with us :) The grandchildren are noisy, but they give our lives meaning in the present generation, and hope for the future.
ReplyDeleteHow I hope that better times come soon. I hope your break is restorative. Take care.

ReplyDeleteI understand completely. I hope you are doing OK mentally and physically during this turmoil. I hope the holy days will bring you peace as well. I'll be thinking of you and praying for you , as well.
ReplyDeleteCome to our place for the yom tovim! We have a lot of very noisy grandchildren, but they provide pleasure now and offer an optimistic future. And Joe goes to shule every morning and evening.
ReplyDeletePeace always!
Take care
ReplyDeleteI continue to pray for you and for Israel. Please pop in every once in a while and let us know how you are!
ReplyDeleteI understand.

ReplyDeleteMay you come back refreshed after your break.
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend, I have continued to pray for you and the people of Israel. I can certainly understand why it would be difficult to concentrate with all that is going on around you. Stay safe...and continue to trust in God during these upcoming Holy Days.

ReplyDeleteMust be difficult to be where you live, I hope that the responsible politician will find their common sense again soon !
ReplyDeleteHola Duta, que esas fiestas te vayan muy bien. Espero que que tu país pueda salir de todo. Te deseo lo mejor.
ReplyDeleteAbrazos.
Hoping you are able to come back after the High Holy Days to find things have improved and you can resume blogging. We'll miss you. It has to be so difficult living in all that uncertainty and knowing how little control the average resident has over what is happening. I wish you only the best.
ReplyDeleteTake care and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you.
All the best Jan

I can't imagine, DUTA. My prayers are with you and your loved ones. Be safe.
ReplyDeleteI find the blogging is a good distraction with the current mess. It's so disheartening and sad. I wish you the very best, and hope you're able to find some peace. It's all just so unsettling. ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteGod bless you❤
ReplyDeleteMe parece muy bien esta decisión que has tomado, así que a descansar y a disfrutar de esas fiestas religiosas.
ReplyDeleteCuídate mucho, porque se que lo estáis pasando muy mal, y lo peor que puede estar por venir, ya que el belicoso de Benjamin no tiene freno.
Un abrazo.
Wishing you a meaningful and blessed High Holy Days season. May this sacred time bring you renewal, reflection, and abundant blessings. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during these days. Lots of Love, Aritha
