Good Morning All! It is 3:01 AM here in Jerusalem, my body simply waking up after having had enough sleep I suppose, as it always does.
I want to chat a bit about two separate subjects today.
The first being the absolutely wonderful 4 hours that I had traveling back and forth from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv last Tuesday, and the second, being the amazing shift in home life tranquility that has occurred for/with us.
On Tuesday, this Tuesday past, I took my weekly road trip to Tel Aviv, to go to the clinic there.
I met two exceptional individuals on my trip, one going, one on my return trip home.
Not only did our conversations make the trip fly by, but they also inspired me immensely.
On the way to Tel Aviv I met a young man of 19 by the name of Joshua. Just out of school, not yet entering the army (all men and women in Israel MUST serve in the army, men for 3 years, women for two), and exceptionally mature for his age.
We spoke of primarily life, death, learning, and love on the hour and a half long journey. We discussed marriage, when it is time, when not; and children, choices, decisions, and regrets. It was to say the least both a chance for me to educate and be educated, and it was sublime. He is a wonderful person, I certainly hope and pray that he continues on the straight and narrow path that he is on, moving forward, as both he and Hashem, see fit!
As you all know, if you have kept up with recent posts, I have switched clinics, as the doctor at the first consistently treated me as garbage, and that was something that fortunately I was able to do away with. The new clinic/Doctor are superb! She treats me as a human being should be treated, as a patient should be treated, and only has one proviso when it comes to keeping her in a good mood. Don’t call and discuss anything with her save the medication itself.
I had called to ask whether she had a rough idea of what a taxi might cost from the new central bus station to her office. She did not know, and was truly too busy for the question, but was kind enough about it, and when I arrived at her office later n the day, she apologized, explained the situation, stressing, again, that the only time I should ever call is to discuss the medication, and moved on.
She is very good at what she does, and I am pleased to have her as my doctor. So, that about covers the clinic part of the trip.
On the way home I met another person, 20, a young entrepreneur, in the high-tech field. We had nearly the same conversation that I had with the 19-year-old, on the way up, lol 
.
As for the peace in our home! B”H, HUGE B”H!!! Boy did we need it!
You know life can be stressful, and marriage, even in the best of times can often be extremely stressful, but add to that my not having been able to find a real job, a child, bills, and well life, and you’ve got a potentially volatile situation!
So my wife, B”H, now works 1.5 full time jobs, which A. Will help tremendously with the finances, B. She enjoys the heck out of, and C. Keeps us apart for 8 hours a day, which is healthy in any marriage.
I, while doing my best to find something full-time, have secured a part-time writing job, which will bring in roughly 700 Shekels per month, 25 articles per month, on anything tech, B”H, and am working on a Wikipedia page for another gentleman for a 500 Shekel one time/flat fee.
It is the best that I can do for now, though I still send out between 5 and 10 resumes per day.
It will come, in His time, if not mine. I can really only work a full-time evening, night job at this point in any case, as I need to pick up our son from daycare at 3:00 PM.
My wife is working full-time after all. It is the least that I can do to thank her.
She is such an amazing person, I am so proud of her for working so very, very hard, and I am equally proud to have her as my wife.
Sincerely,
Mordechai
