“The definition of frustration...” my mother said. “...is having no one to blame but yourself!” There is nothing worse than regret. Knowing you did nothing and it resulted in worse than nothing.

| Friday, December 3, 2010. I moved the sprouts into the sun and one of the chatulim...noshed! |
It is the season of latkes, dreidles and lights. In teaching him how to play last night, he looked at the nun and said. “nothing happens, I am okay.” speaking to his ever dwindling pile of chocolate gelt.” “Well, not really.” I said “Because if you are not winning you are losing, if we are not going forward we are falling backward., losing ground.” My Rabbi and Rebbizen laughed and then smiled at me.
I realized this morning that G-d may be using me as the “two by four” (his words) that gets him out of bed and to work....but G-d is using him in just as significant a way. As the draw that wakes me up early, and walks my dog, feeds the cats, makes breakfast....we cannot do this, we cannot do anything alone. As humans we are designed with flaws that need specific motivators to be overcome. To G-d be all praise!
