well... i missed MayThe$thBeWithYou day... not a big deal, really.
Just back from bookclub and discussion of book about Admiral Rhikover... ok..
Got into wondering -- are Jews special... Certainly seems so per capita....why? Genetics (self=selection back to Babylonian Exile? or education in recent centuries because when there were no books literacy was low even for Jews... etc. etc..??). IDEA FOR A BOOK: "My regular life - or more?" I have never felt particularly and authentically special. Parents more likely put me down.... certainly not inspiring... or honest (as it turned out). SO - I plodded on By Myself... Only real help may have been when my father talked SUNY Binghamton into accepting me back IF... and I DID. It was easiest way for me to get my BA and also may have been easiest way for my father to ensure I graduated - SO: service to me and self-service for him.
Who am I? Who was I? What could have been? Where lies responsibility?
I MUST take personal responsibility for myself. The sad thing was I didn't ask myself certain questions and got certain answers earlier in my life. Basic questions like: what interests me a log? What am I good at? What do I want to learn and then teach...!!!???
TEACHING is THE Thing. It is a good thing to SHARE oneself with others so they may learn from what happened that was good and bad and in-between. Ahhhhh... SHARING... SHARE is my keyword for 2026 and here it is early May and what have I shared??? OR - what project is underway that will share that which I can share?
What do I have to share? I said the other day:
SHARE.... what to whom? why?! - MONEY, TIME ... check info on Charity Navigator
AND - more regular (weekly?) donating ... to Jewish organizations....
To that I would have to/want to say -- writings about my life ... Successful, unsuccessful, regular, special, appreciated, unappreciated... etc. etc... Intense, laid back, effective, ineffective, warm, cold, friends, no friends, right perception, wrong perception... OOOYYYYY!!!!
