Thank G-d I am alive and 1935-1939 - Pictures of the United States



Every day you have the ability to learn something new. On my current adventure I had the ability to study with one my inspirational teachers, Rabbi Plizkin. He reminded me of the principle of re-framing, the ability each of us has to look at something negative and turn it around into an ability to be in gratitude, which in turn makes us happy and content.

Most people are irradiated (and naturally so) by cell phones going off during lectures. He demonstrated the principle of letting the phone ringing remind you of the fact you can hear, and hence you are alive. Each time the phone rings it can be a trigger (another technical term) to  let you be in appreciation for your life.

I used it on Saturday night when there was a party going on outside my door. I could have joined the party but it was late, and I used the noise to remind myself how grateful I am to be in a special place.

Love Yehuda Lave














AFTER YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES READ THE NOTE AT THE BOTTOM!

WE ALL NEED A REMINDER.

America ...during the years of 1935 - 1939






AND WE THINK WE'VE GOT IT BAD!

This was a mere 72 years ago....

Forward this.

I am reminded to be grateful for what I do have ....

Start each day with a smile and a prayer ... then pass it on!
