amc: thanks for your kind words. Before my divorce I didn’t really know that I was unhappy until we separated and then I realized I was happier each day. Since my mother’s passing (her third yahrzeit begins tomorrow)and my rediscovery of shul, I am fantastically happy. I thought that I would honor her memory by going to shul for shloshim but found that I loved it so much that I stuck around for 11 months and then, of course it was so much a part of my daily routine that I am still there. Nobody would have been more surprised than my dear mother. She really wouldn’t believe it. There are days that I still wish I could pick up the phone and let her know how content I am with life now. I think that she is smiling down on me every day.
Yes, I am referring to dovid gottlieb. com. I listened to one of his lectures last night and it was terrific. I plan to work my way through the list. I look forward to learning a lot and I am greatful to Mod 80 for directing me to the website.
