Thank you Mammele, it is so good to hear your kind, gentle voice again 🙂 I hope that you and your loved ones have had a wonderful New Year!

2scents, Nechomah, and just me, thank you for your continued encouragement and welcoming ways. I hope you have enjoyed your New Year celebrations!

As you mentioned, Nechomah and just me, it really did feel like G-d’s hand literally guiding me — it was profound! I was so drawn to those kind people, and they shared some of their celebration with me. It came at the perfect time because I was feeling generally discouraged on the beach, finding only more and more trash to throw out and wondering to myself, “what is wrong with people” who treat the seashore like their personal trashcan. All of a sudden, these wonderful people — kind, caring, spiritual people celebrating the New Year — were there on the beach beside me, equally awed by the glorious stormy sea and G-d’s handiwork. They said that they like to be at the seashore when there is no one else around, like I do. The whole experience was like one incredible hug from G-d, as you say, just me. I found myself tearing up, because I realized that G-d cared enough to grant the heart’s wishes and longings of insignificant me — He was not only listening, as I have always believed, but He answered in such a clear and direct and immediate way that can not be mistaken as mere coincidence.
