Thought of the day...

Shine forth genuinely instead of simply meeting expectations,
The art of living well is tied so closely to living artfully...



This was on my wall calendar for December. I have been looking at it daily for a while and it just occurred to me to pay it forward.

Cheers and happy Friday.

Confessions and Hanukkah Final Night...

So, dear readers, I have a confession to make. Tonight as I came home, tired, not feeling well and not in the mood to clean up the menorah to do the Hanukkah thing, I considered posting last year's picture and just "passing that off" as this year's final night. I confess this but I assure you that all of this year's piccies have been authentically done this year and I have stayed true to the real-time "Hanukkah experience 2009". While it would have been easier, it would not have been right, and I wound up really enjoying the final candles tonight and so I share my last picture with you tonight. Always honest and these pics have all been taken this year. Thanks for looking this year and I hope you have enjoyed it with me.

I was always confused about the many ways to spell Hanukkah. I have seen it spelled as follows:

Hanukah
Hannukah
Hanukkah
Chanukah
Channukkah

It is a phonetic spelling of the hebrew. Here is an image with the hebrew word in it. You read the word from right to left (the opposite to how you read english):

Happy weekend all and thank you for sharing this holiday with me.
