Among some cultures it is a custom to take a give a different name to babies when it seems the Angel of Death is taking newborns and very young children. David becomes Roy so that if the Angel is looking for David, it finds Roy and passes on. Likewise, a name change may be taken in thanksgiving for having survived danger, a serious illness, or a large change in life's circumstances.
I am now known as Yona Chaya in thanksgiving for restored health. Rabbi named me in Shacharit (Morning Service) today.
Yes, I'm feeling good, but I do have to remind myself not to squander my energy. Because I feel so good in the morning, I've tended to take on a project that could be finished over two or three days, but I want to get it done Today!
One thing, though, I've put of tackling is the repotting of a rather large jade plant. It got too big for the pot, and it started leaning over. It's now leaning over the other way, because I tilted the pot. I need to get some sturdy stakes to support the plant in a much larger pot. OK, so get me to the hardware store and get the stakes. The poor plant is going to die when it's roots become exposed, and I fear that will happen most any time now.
OK, that's a project that needs to be completed all at one time. But redecorating the patio should be an on-going thing. Right.
When went on-line to check out composting, I found that shredded newspapers are good. Now I know what to do with a few sheets of newspaper. And while I'm busy shredding newspaper, I could also sit here and shred old bank statements, receipts, and other paper that never should have been kept in the first place. What a bore!!
I bought two discounted DVDs of movies I particularly enjoyed: When Harry Met Sally and Dances with Wolves. I'll watch those on Monday night when there's nothing on TV that I want to watch. I'll be glad when the new season starts. Couple of interesting new shows scheduled.
Wonder why Medium switched from NBC to CBS. Looks like The Unit won't be back. I'm sorry it's gone. Action and tension made a good show. Ah well.
I think I'll go play some solitaire, then go to bed.
Bless
