You're in our thoughts! Put your hands over your heart like a hug and tap your fingers against your chest. It's called butterfly hugs and it's very calming.

Thank you. My therapist told me to do that when I'm anxious. I forgot about it

We're on our way to monsey and just crossed the verrazano. Waze didn't even show manhattan routes as an option. There is traffic and it's going slow but no rain and roads are basically clear

I'm keeping myself back from crying. I had such a stressful morning and last nite. Besides for my traveling issues I had to do hefsek tahara and was so afraid it won't be good. I really really didn't want to go to mikva Yom tov bh it was good but this mornings bedika was a shaila and I was so scared. Bh bh it was kosher but it was so stressful and I was so anxious!!

From Monsey and on no rain! The roads are clear and the sun's out!! Op, put on some music and sing with the kids. I was also very scared at one point. We couldn't see out the window. Bh it's clear now.

Oh! Lol I couldn't imagine what it meant. I don't know I learnt in kallah classes that can't sing when niddah even for your kids.. never asked but my rav is pretty stringent and I'm afraid he'll say know if we ask. I do sing a little sometimes I can't help myself...
