Purification before the HAAJ

Perhaps this time of year is challenging as the seasons change and we reflect the past seasons ... part of us dies off and we must become quiet for the winter months ... HAAJ is a time for repentance and examining how we live ...with the standards HE has set for us . Honestly re-evaluating oneself and adjusting my own parameters is my sense of peace and brings "happiness" to my soul. May I seriously do this annual task now ..with an intention to be better in the future . THIS IS THE PRESENT ..the TODAY I embrace . Best wishes to all who follow this path .
