Day 21 (Sunday)
This one needs a small introduction. At Shalosh Shudis (however that is really spelled, Spell check did not pull anything) I got into a bit of an argument with some family members and I was in some pain.

Then on Motzei Shabbos as I was learning in my study I heard my family talking. We are going through an issue and we could use a yeshuah for it. I heard my family discussing how they will celebrate when the yeshuah comes.

Sunday morning I was still in pain from the argument and from some of the things that were said to me. (I still am in a bit of pain, but I think it will pass). I went to learn in shul for my regular Sunday morning learning. 

I have a lot to thank for.

1.    Wow! I am surrounded by a very high level of בטחון. My family is already planning the celebration for when our yeshuah comes. That is amazing.
2.    When I was learning, (and after that) I felt my pain wash away. An internal connection to the תורה and to הקב"ה. That is something really special.

Thank you הקב"ה.

Day 22
Thank You הקב"ה for my health.
There is someone in my neighborhood who needs a great רפואה and I heard about other people that are ‘all of a sudden’ not well. There is a lot to be thankful for here.

Day 23

Thank you הקב"ה for the כח to get up in the morning.

Even when I feel that I do not want to face my day, above and beyond the physical tiredness, I somehow find the כח to get up and out of bed to begin, sometimes feels like I’ve climbed a mountain.

Day 24
Thank you הקב"ה for the nice weather (this was from Wednesday)

This was a bit too generic for my feeling, so as I was Davening Mincha I felt immense gratitude to הקב"ה for my daughter’s schools.

This past 2 years I went through a whirlwind with some of my daughters and having one of them out of school for a few weeks and then needing to enroll my younger daughter in a new school with all the uncertainties that this entails.
Now ב"ה things have worked out and the new school is quickly becoming a great sought after school in the community.

Day 25 and Day 26
I unfortunately did not write down what I had in mind to thank הקב"ה for, and I do not have access at home and I was away on Friday. So I do not remember what I thanked הקב"ה for on Thursday and Friday.

However I do remember that I had something in mind....

Day 27 (Shabbos)



Thank you הקב"ה for showing me that you are taking care of my פרנסה.



Without going into details, I recently I got a sign that I have other options and opportunities for פרנסה and this is a great feeling that הקב"ה is watching over me.

Thank you הקב"ה for my wife.
Although we struggle at times to keep the peace, she really is a good person.

I see now that this is a repeat of something from a week ago.

You are becoming an 'ashir' 
That famous mishna about being Sameach bechelko! 
It means not just to count what we have but to enjoy and be happy with what we have. True wealth is to enjoy the pleasures of God. There are people with fat bank accounts that we may be jealous of but they probably have 99% of the issues that we have. 
The happiness comes from looking at what we have and actually enjoying it. Ever go on a trip with a grump? They spend the whole time complaining about the weather/traffic/too squished etc, they never take the time to enjoy it. But other people on the same trip will have an amazing experience. 
.and since this world is all about working and growing, someone who puts effort into enjoying the good in his life, is truly a believer in chazal that a genuinely rich person, enjoys the gifts he has been bestowed with. As Harav Eagle is doing, pointing out and focusing on the good in his life. 
May you always continue to enjoy the wealth God has given you! 
I didn't believe I could be clean
Until I actually got clean.
If I can do it, you can too!

Day 29 (Monday)
Thank you הקב"ה for the ability to smile through adversity.
I had a good feeling about myself a few times and I even smiled a few times. Then when I woke up today, I felt empowered by yesterday's smiles to continue moving along in life.

Day 30
I have a weekly seder with one of the Rabanim in my neighborhood. Recently we started learning some Inyanei Bitachon.
I am far from where I need to be in this area. But I see how I can really live through my difficulties with true Bitachon.
Thank you הקב"ה for Bitachon and for the ability to learn about it and work on growing in this area.

I actually had a few days of feeling fulfilled at work and feeling that I am not stuck and I got things done.

Day 32
Thank you הקב"ה for good friends and Mentors.
I was having a hard time with some things for a few days. (No shortage of those) and I reached out to a friend/mentor (not from here) and we worked through my thoughts and he gave some advice and I felt better.
