Blogging Break


 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.

  1. 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.

  19. 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.

  22. I 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))

  23. Me parece muy bien esta decisión que has tomado, así que a descansar y a disfrutar de esas fiestas religiosas.
    Cuídate 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.
