Today is a brand new day and I’m going to do my best to be positive. So far, I’ve had a little trouble, but I’m hoping to be struck by inspiration in a couple of hours.
Today is also the perfect day for the Shehecheyanu:
Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-noy Elo-heinu Me-lech Ha-olom She-he-che-yanu Ve-kee-ya-manu Ve-hi-gee-ya-nu Liz-man Ha-zeh
Blessed are You, our God, Creator of time and space,
who has supported us, protected us, and brought us to this moment.
May today bring inspiration and hope and a more positive outlook for all of us.
bless.
Bless you Cara. I know there are a lot of days as a parent and frankly as a person that are just so hard but here’s to a change in perspective. 🙂
Amen.
(You were the first person to make me cry today, but, as I’m glued to the TV, I imagine you won’t be the last!)
Commiseration and best wishes.
Lovely.
I’m there with you on the parenting stuff, too. Hang in there ; )
Amen sister!!
Amen. So well said (I only wish that one of the invocations could have said it as well). This is an historic moment and you will tell your daughter about it years later.
the words are perfect for the day.
Amen.
(Did you happen to see the “bracha” that was flying around the day after the election? If I recall correctly, it went something like:
Barack atah Illinois
Elohenu melech ha’olum
Borei p’re ha Electoral Landslide)
LOL at the Barack atah Illinois comment!
And thanks for the reminder to say shehekianu tonight. And the blessing over champagne……

I’ll think of this, every time we recite/sing the Shehecheyanu from now on! Thank you! *beaming smile*
amen.
Thank you for sharing your faith and hope.
