Hi Buddy

With regard to learning. I want to suggest the following. learn one mishna from a mesechta you know the best. Even this can be done with an english translation. Next night - do the next mishna. Make up your mind you don't go to bed till 1 mishna is done.
Every night another mishna. Chok veloh yaavor

the idea is - it is simple - so simple the yetzer harah is embarrassed to wimp out
it takes a very short time
you have a routine

you will see - as soon as you finish a perek you will begin to get a chizuk and it will lead to more and more. At that point you may begin to learn larger amounts. But even if you had a difficult day - dont go to sleep without at least that 1 mishna.

Hatzlocho!

This is genius.
I myself started 5 minutes a day of Mesilas Yesharim over a year ago. I completed it and moved to sefer Chofetz Chaim. I am in klal ches of hilchos lashon harah.
It is such an amazing feeling to know I can set my mind to something and do it.
I don't think I missed more than 5 days since I started. I never skipped intentionally.

Hatzlacha Rabbah!!)

I'm clicking through the threads that have new comments and something just seems off. Then I realized what it is. I haven't heard from Hashiva! Thinking of you Hashiva and missing the activity on this thread. Hope all is well! \\

Hatzlacha!

Much Hatzlacha!

Wow! Thank you serenity and newaction for thinking about me and for the kind words. I have been very busy with lot's of stuff. But I miss posting because of the connection with choshuver chaverim and the discussions which give tremendous chizuk and insight. Before purim and most yomim tovim my wife gets stressed out. I personally believe that having more money would be helpful for that. I recently suffered a monetary loss and I'm working overtime to rebuild while calming the wife about stuff and helping prepare for purim and dealing with other issues. I hope to be beck soon in full force.

Helping and calming your wife- sounds like you truly have your priorities straight.
I have found that some people who are dealing/recovering from emotional challenges sometimes can get too selfish. As if to say " I need to take care of my needs and in the meantime - just get off my case and work out your own problems yourself." I truly have seen this - especially with those who only get individual therapy - and don't also participate in a participatory setting like our prized GYE.
You clearly know a healthy balance.
May G-d bless you!

A Purim message for all Yidin here from me with love.

Hashem wants to give all of us all wonderful things UNLIMITED. Sometimes we don't experience this. Why? Because Hashem sends us the good things(Hashpaos) and sometimes it doesn't find a place to rest with us because our tables have no place to put anything down on them. They are full of things that are in the way. So all we need to do is to make room on our table. Clear the mess. Then all of the good things that Hashem sends us will sit in front of us and with us on our tables to fully enjoy.

A freilichen Purim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
