What’s on your mind — how to make kugel? This week’s Torah reading? Life goals? Prayer? We are all engaged in weight loss/weight maintenance journeys and we are all Jewish or at least interested in Judaism. We like to eat, we like to discuss. It is our goal here to provide each other support on our journeys, to share experiences, to call on our rich cultural heritage and texts, and to help each other grow spiritually.
Some of us take weekly turns starting the thread:
Holly
Lee
Louise
Lynne
Peachy
And for those of you that stop by to read this thread without posting — you are welcome to, but you are also welcome to chime in. Don’t be shy!

Hi everyone,
I came across the following today while scrolling on my phone. I wonder what you think of it. It's entitled "Same."
Same.
I still haven't figured out how to keep
my shower floor clean or make morning
smoothies or respond to stress calmly.
Same, same, same , my friends tell me,
a love note of sorts. Maybe the world
doesn't need us to cut down on carbs
or make more money or waste less time.
Maybe instead it needs us to reach those
who feel alone in their messy homes or
difficult relationships or unresolved
issues. To impress less and connect
more. To share one simple message:
Same. Same, same, same.
It seems to me that on our thread, we have an important and wonderful thing going, and it is this: An utter lack of expressed judgment. We are kind to one another, and accepting, and always saying to each other, "yes. I have been there. I understand."
Could we bottle this and send it to Congress? The Middle East? just sayin'

Great idea! Let's bottle it and send it all over the globe! Now, who among us is inventive enough to figure out how to bottle it? I volunteer to be a cheerleader!

Very nicely said. It's so easy to get caught up in things that are really much ado about nothing.
