Dear members of the forum,

Well, the day came.   It was a typical day with no warning signs.  My streak of 26 glorious and lofty days came to an end today, Sunday February 21, 2010 at 2:30 PM.  I have accepted this day as a fall and that Hashem always has a person's best interest in His plans.   
This site has definetely propelled me to heights higher than I ever could've imagined.  26 days is almost a whole month. 
This is my first fall since joining the site on January 27, 2010.  A proof of my progress is that after I had a fall today I did not feel as low as I have in the past after a fall.  I felt level headed with a resolve to keep moving forward.  As usual I came up with new commitments as I do after every fall.  These commitments are to read the GYE handbook more carefully on a daily basis, to think about the possible nisyonos of the coming day before they occur and to try to tighten the reigns of what I look at each day during casual internet surfing.
I am motivated and excited to be patient and build a new clean streak so I can reach Pesach as a true ben chorin.  My dream was to be a clean person through Purim but I guess Hashem had other plans.  I will still have a freilichen Purim because by then I should have a new streak going and be mesilah baderech.  I am also having a happy day because my new streak is starting right now. 
Thanks for reading this post.  What a great way to feel like I am part of a team over here.  Looking forward to seeing my name back on the 90 day chart and I would like to thank Hashem at this time for everything. 

[It is a pity that my chizuk comes about from another's fall, though...
Maybe, giving others chizuk is mesaken part of any p'gam that there may be...]
