Daka B'Sheket

Anyone who chooses to take the time to read this blog is probably aware of the fact that, normally thankfully to one who works freelance, my life is a non-stop rush. Go to this wedding, go to that wedding. Go to more gigs. Edit pictures. Gogogogogogogogooooo!

As many of you are also aware this is a lifestyle that suits my personality perfectly, but every once in a while it just becomes too much and I need to take a step back to regain some measure of clarity. And that is where my taking a month of vacation to go to Israel to visit family and friends, and get some much needed rest, came in.

Originally I was planning on traveling hither and yon. To this country to that country all over Israel. And then I remembered it might do to take some time to actually relax during the time I have to actually do that. I thought that it might also be fun to record what was going to happen during a month of utterly Israeli balagan (and long after as well), but I just could not think of a proper name for such an undertaking.

Thankfully Jake came to the rescue, as usual, but unlike the norm he is going to get credit for his brilliant idea. There is so much insanity in life on a daily basis, especially for me, but I am sure for many of you as well. To take the time to find some peace in the midst of life's craziness is not just awesome, but often times absolutely necessary. Even when my favorite form of relaxation is often additional, albeit voluntary, insanity, I still need those calms in the storm on occasion. And thus daka b'sheket (a minute in silence) was created. Take the time to breathe. Take the time to enjoy the beauty in life. Take some pictures and appreciate the awesome all around. Its pretty sweet
