The Holiday of Reflection

[le_the_elephant]

One of the reasons I love Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is for its call for reflection. I consider myself a reflective person, but lately I have not been in a reflective mood. So I am happy for this reminder to take the time to look at my life, particularly in the last year, and consider how I would like to move forward from here

Dear Ellie, I really liked this reflective and introspective entry. I think overall I agree with your philosophy on life (at least as much as you discussed it here). It's exciting and scary to be at a place now where there are so many new things that we have to figure out, but every once in a while something happens that reminds me of the important things that have remained unchanged. This morning my mom said she was reminded of "old times" last night, going to bed and hearing us girls talking and laughing downstairs. A friendship like ours is very important to me, and I'm glad it's been constant, despite our many changes

I appreciate your equally reflective (long-winded?) response... this stuff really seems to be on my mind a lot lately. But I like thinking about it, so that's good with me.

It's definitely nice to be able to come home and have you guys around. It really makes a huge difference.

Oh, and I'll always be 10 and taking art classes, I don't know what you're talking about. Want to join me?? It could REALLY be like old times. I think when I ever buy a place, I'll have one white wall just for doodling/writing notes. Such a thing is a necessity.
