| Not the Messiah but perhaps an Angel doing a recce prior to the coming? |
The Messiah might come tomorrow. It says [somewhere?] that when the Messiah comes all the leaders of the world will gather in Jerusalem. Well that is happening tomorrow for Shimon Peres' funeral. I'm not sure if the Messiah is into killing two birds with one stone and arriving when the leaders of the world are here anyway, but s/he could be considering it.
My nephew who is studying in Jerusalem this year, has plans to go out of town with friends tomorrow for Shabbat. I suggested they consider traveling tonight as the roads in Jerusalem will be crazy tomorrow. On the other hand, I told him, he doesn't want to miss being here for the Messiah if s/he comes. It's a gamble either way. His choice.

Our early to bed early to rise campaign is doing all right. So far we've not become healthy, wealthy and wise, but I am as ever, optimistic. It may be because yesterday, which was only day 2, we didn't manage to get up before 7.15 am. However today was better (6.45) and we are both going to bed earlier. DD asks me every evening, "are we getting up at 6 tomorrow?" I think she likes it although she doesn't realize that we've not actually managed to get up at 6 am yet, just 6.30 and 6.45. It's a process.
This morning when the alarm went off at 6 am, I pressed snooze for another 10 minutes sleep (and repeated this action several times). After a minute or so a little voice next to me said, "you're awfully quiet." Then we both turned over and went back to sleep for the duration.

Next week Is Rosh Hashanna - the Jewish New year. You know me, I'm always excited about another opportunity to turn over a new leaf, start anew, etc... This is my favourite time of year.
I'm linking up with Reasons 2B Cheerful over at Mummy from the Heart.
I love hitting the snooze but can't do that at the moment as not enough time... Good luck on the sleep training! If the Messiah comes at least the world's press will be there to witness it this time :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL, I bet the first reporter's question will be, 'is this your first or second visit to earth?"
DeleteBrilliant blog post title, even if there is no word on the Messiah yet! Good luck with getting up early, even after so many years, I don't find it easy at all xx
ReplyDeleteNo s/he didn't come. I reckon the traffic situation in Jerusalem was too off-putting with several roads being closed and the King David Hotel full to capacity with foreign dignitaries.
DeleteOh hitting the snooze is too dangerous, I then fall into deep sleep and all hope is lost. I'm assuming that the Messiah didn't come, as it all still feels pretty normal here! Have a great Jewish New Year. Mich x
ReplyDeleteYes I agree, that snooze button is fatal. The only way is to throw yourself out of bed at the first alarm. And you are right, we are still waiting for the Messiah.
DeleteI'm a big snooze button hitter me! My alarm goes every 10 mins in the morning so I can wake up properly! I hope you start to get into a good routine soon and feel better for it!
ReplyDeleteWe still wait in hope xx
I'm beginning to think that the snooze button was sent by the devil. Seriouslu, what redeeming thing does it have - I can't think of one thing.
