Sometimes…
All it takes is one Shabbat…
One morning to clean
One afternoon to cook
One evening to shower and dress in your handsome clothes…
Just one Shabbat.
One morning to sleep in … until 7.
One weekly meditation group.
One quiet admission.
One hour to sit
with your coffee.
One hour to zooooooooommmm down the slide
with your son
Just one Shabbat.
One new idea.
One minute to hold your husband’s hand.
One glimpse of your children with your weekend pair of eyes.
Just one Shabbat.
Just one
to remember how it feels to laugh
late at night
in bed…
without looking at the clock.
Just one
to remember what breakfast tastes like.
Just one
to rediscover your purpose.
Your passion.
You.
Just one
Just one Shabbat.
