B’nai Mitzvah Anniversary

Today we lit the Shabbat candles at Temple in honor of our 13th wedding anniversary (the anniversary was actually Sept 2 which seems such a long time ago).  I didn’t realize though that 13th was a special Jewish anniversary — our b’nai mitzvah to be exact.  Does that mean that as a couple we are “married adults” — I actually think that happened when Suzanne was born.  It was a nice touch though — since Jame and I didn’t have a Jewish wedding (I wasn’t Jewish when we were married) — the blesssing was a special recognition.

Since we went to Shabbat service - I am actually observing Shabbat — this is one of the places where I have fallen short this year –and not *working* on Shabbat.  I take it very literally — meaning not doing “client” work — writing in this blog is not work.  But because I work from home the lines between work and the other parts of my life are very blurry… I need Shabbat more than most people.

My marriage also needs Shabbat — because I think my husband thinks I love my MacBook more than I love him…
