Tired and busy

[debka_notion]

I didn't get enough work done today, but I did go dancing- a mediocre night, although well decorated for Yom Ha'Atzmaut. I was "chag sameach"ed- felt odd, Yom Ha'Atzmaut feels like a secular event to me, and I'm not used to "chag sameach" for secular holidays. But there were tons of people there, and a bunch of cute kids. In addition, Yossi came up, surprisingly (but without holding much excitement), and Jill (someone I know not a close friend) is engaged- after dating this guy for 8 months- doesn't seem so long to me. Eh, to each their own.

Today otherwise- I think I sort of drifted through it, and didn't get enough work done. GUess I'll survive. I was exhausted- still am, and sort of on the brink of dehydration I think. I'm off to finish my tea and go to bed.

I definitely see Yom Ha'Atzmaut as a chag. We say "Al HaNisim," and I think it is well deserved. We are a nation, and as such, the establishment of our state, is somewhat secular. But, since we are the Jewish people, and we have a more spiritual thing as well, our becoming a "free people in our land" is much more than just that. It is a religious and spiritual homecoming that is tied directly to God. And the establishment was a miraculous partnership between Am Yisrael and Adonai, as were many other chagim. I see no reason to deny it that status.
Chag Sameach! (o:
