Dear GYE,
Today is 90 days
I’m tasting the sweet sound of it
Savouring its warmth
What a magnificent gift
My gratitude is immeasurable
For not only has lust been subdued
My essence has changed, improved
Working on this struggle
Has affected deep inside
I’m a new person
Have a fresh perspective on living
I’ve been working on my core
Hard work, yet so rewarding
I’m overcome with appreciation
Mere words cannot express my gratitude
If 90 days is a kinyan
Then reaching this milestone on rosh chodesh, a time of renewal, is an inyan
Av may be a month of mourning our unfathomable loss
But working on this struggle is surely a zechus
Elul and the yamim noraim are just around the corner
This is the first year that I can come with the knowledge that I’m not in the same place as the year before
This time the work was real, genuine
Be”H lasting and continuously growing
GYE, you have been the initiator and catalyst
Enabling and facilitating this journey
If only words would convey my true gratefulness
But all I can say is a simple ‘thank you’
Yeshalem Hashem sechar peulosecha
P.S. Please let me know of something I can do for GYE.
