[HANASHIR:6301] Counting the days/weeks

[Esd7657 <Esd7657...>]

Hi y'all - 
A lesson learned from the omer - if you're counting toward just about 
anything.
We don't count the days of the omer down, we count "up."  In this way we tend 
to focus on the inherent value of each day, instead of just throwing them 
away on the way to some "more important" time to come.
The objective, as I like to see it, is not just to count the days, but make 
each day count.  That's up to us.
While I'm at it, please know that y'all's presence at HN was a gift to me as 
well - I'm sure that I can speak for the whole faculty when I thank you for 
each of your unique contributions -  Enjoy what you learned and gained and 
make sure to share it liberally.
All good wishes for a warm summer full of evident blessings.  
Make it count,
Ellen Dreskin
