Days of repentance, days of awe
Oct. 8th, 2008 09:56 amGot my blood test results back yesterday. Thyroid function fine, nerve function fine, no coeliac disease. I have referrals to gastroenterology, to the Chronic Fatigue clinic. I'll keep you posted. Probably with TMI. Otoh, I've been very well away from wheat and dairy and alcohol this week and I'm 3lbs down on Sunday's weight and am getting more done. Hurrah. And I finished (finally) the first draft of my Shed World story. Now for the rewriting and revising and editing. Ho hum, so it goes.
Yom Kippur starts at 18:04 this evening. The days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are a chance to ask for forgiveness from people I've wronged. You guys. I can't go asking HaShem for forgiveness if I haven't asked you first: the wrongs aren't his to forgive.
If there is anything you'd like me to apologise for specifically, any wrong I've done you that you want to address, any grievance you want to air, tell me. Let me know. For everything else, here goes...
For all the times I have been unkind
For all the times I haven't been a good friend
For all the times I haven't been there for you
For all the times I've ignored phonecalls and texts and emails
For all the times I've ignored comments and posts
For all the times I've said I'd be in touch and haven't
For all the times I've thought 'I'll do that later' and haven't
For all the times I've said I'd do something and haven't
For all the times I've broken arrangements with you
For all the times I've broken my promise
For all the times I've lied, actively or by omission
For all the times I've been rude or impatient or uncaring or disinterested
For all the times I've been mean and ungenerous
For all the times I've been selfish
For all the times I've hurt you or let you down
For all the times I haven't shown you the respect and love you all so very much deserve
For all these and for all the wrongs I can't even remember - I ask your forgiveness.
In the year to come, I'll do better. I promise. And when I fall down on that, you have my permission - and my fervent request - to pull me up on it.
May you be signed and sealed in the Book of Life for a happy and sweet year. May it bring you happiness and health and prosperity. Shana Tova.
