One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Day 6: When You're Tempted to Cheat

I totally cheated. It was an accident! Everyone cheats on their new year's resolutions...right? Well I didn't mean to. The point of today was to remember that all of your actions are seen by someone else (hint: God).

This was supposed to be specific in related to cheating and making good decisions, and yet, today I failed. I was playing a game of Words with Friends with my cousin and I had the worst round of letters. I went to a Scrabble cheat website and used one of the words it generated for me. I should have just made do with the letters I had rather than make a fuss about catching up to her ever growing score.

As a side story, when my dad was little, his rabbi called home asking to talk to his father (my grandfather). My dad told the rabbi that he was home alone. The rabbi proceeded to tell him that he is never alone. This spooked my dad so much because as a child, he didn't understand the concept of God being omnipresent. So, after all this ado, today's quote is:

"Know what is above you: an eye that sees..."-Pirkei Avot 2:1

***As tomorrow is the 7th day of the project (and therefore the value assigned is "Shabbat") I will use tomorrow as it suggests: to summarize my progress and see how this week has gone. I will also do day 8 tomorrow and continue with my project.***
