The Short Vort

Good Morning!

Today is the 18th of Tishrei 5781 and October 6, 2020

Appreciation

Why only now as I am recovering from the potentially devastating effects of the coronavirus do I realize how much I am indebted to you?

Why did it take the fear of being told I was “positive” for COVID-19 for me to appreciate how wonderful it is to be able to breathe on my own?

And why only after realizing how I was spared from other potential symptoms do I indulge and rejoice in being able to smell and taste my food?

The answers to these questions are obvious.

I thank you HaShem for allowing me to be the beneficiary of your benevolence.

I will attempt to do my best from now on to be that much more appreciative of your kindness.

I thank you and love you.
