The past couple of weekends have been a bit out of the ordinary. Two weeks ago, we celebrated the holiday Purim. I had a few days off, the weather was nice, and I had just solidified my plans for the coming year. What a great way to go into a holiday weekend which, on some level, revolves around costumes, drinking, and parties. We celebrated a bit more traditionally with a muscial Disney service and megillah reading before heading out to the shuk party. We followed our night-time shenanigans with a pot-luck breakfast megillah reading.

After celebrating Purim in Jerusalem, I drove down to the desert for a festival at the Desert Ashram. I practiced yoga and attended a few breathing/energy workshops which were new to me but very engaging. I spent a lot of time in the desert, walking and sitting in the vast sands; relaxing. I also went on a chai (tea) date with someone I met in a body energy workshop. While it won't be progressing, the conversation on the date was very eye-opening. Overall, the weekend was filled with a bit of relaxation, some physical activity, a touch of nature, and a lot of self-reflection. I returned to Jerusalem refreshed and ready for the busy for week ahead.
This past weekend, I drove up north to Zichron Ya'akov with a few friends. It felt like a real vacation. We ate out, went to a winery, had ice cream, went on a hike, watched the sun setting into the sea from our balcony, and had a relaxing shabbat filled with food, friends, and fine wine. I was nice to get out of Jerusalem, and have a mini holiday. Now I am back and ready for my last couple of days in the preschool!
