MAZEL TOV, SARA!

It is done. My daughter is Bat Mitzvah. She did a fabulous job during the morning Shabbat service at our synagogue in front of her family and friends.  Everyone was amazed with her style and poise.  During the afternoon, nearly 40 kids did some 'serious' partying.  They danced.  They played games.  They took photos of themselves in a photo booth.  They were treated to a 'chocolate fountain' that Sara said was a unique touch that she had not seen at the various Bar and Bat Mitzvah parties that she has attended during the past year.  It was so interesting to hear 30+ speeches given by her friends.  It served to remind me that my little girl has a life of her own, outside of her home that I only know about in small snippets. My little girl is growing up.

final rehearsal reading fron The Torah before the Bat Mitzvah

Yesterday, was not a day for exercise.  And it wasn't a day for eating particularly well.  And today, is not a day for a long blog.  So, I am going to post 'more or less' what I ate yesterday and call it a day. See you tomorrow!

BAT MITZVAH

In Jewish tradition, once a boy/girl is 13 years old they are Bar/Bat Mitzvah. They are considered an adult within the Jewish Community and are responsible for following  Jewish Laws and customs.  Today, Saturday, my daughter will be Bat Mitzvah.

I think, that I will get my priorities straight and forego my 10 mile walk today.  Yesterday's walk didn't quite agree with me and I was limping a bit on and off all day with a tight muscle... A rest is apparently in order.   I will be busy today from 9AM straight through to perhaps Midnight.  There simply is not time for a ten mile walk - and this was not a day to get up a 5:00AM to get that done.

minimum ten mile per day walking streak reached 26 days.   And at 26 days, this streak will end... I have a full day ahead of me today.  My daughter will be Bat Mitzvah during Shabbat morning services.  In the afternoon I will be in attendance at her party for 40+ friends.  And following the party for her friends, the adults with gather for a more serene dinner.  And just as the adult party starts to taper off - my Chabad friends have been invited for some L'chaims!   This should be an interesting day.  I do not have the opportunity (or desire) to do my 10 mile walk today... but it might still be interesting to see how many steps I accumulate.  I expect the day to be somewhat active.
