I got up a little late this morning but still went out for a walk for about an hour, stopping to buy challah before returning home. I also took several pictures, including today's pic of the day, a bee going about her business in a flower:

I taught only 2 units of Berlitz today: 11:45-1:15.

I had half a yellow bell pepper, a cucumber, a tomato, weenies wrapped in tortillas, and 4 cookies for lunch.

I generally had quite a bit of trouble getting motivated today, but, in the end, I did manage to get the weekly chores done.

As the day came to a close, I lit candles, drank a little sweet red wine, and ate some challah to welcome Shabbat Shuva, the Shabbat of Return.

Then I went for another walk, stopping several times to rest, think, and enjoy the evening.

I walked a total of 7.4 kilometers.

For Shabbat Shuva, I leave you with this quote from the High Holy Day prayers, noting that it is very near the BEGINNING, before we have really even made our requests for pardon and forgiveness:

ויאמר יי סלחתי כדברך

And the Eternal said, "I have forgiven as you requested."
