it also stands for Yesterday is History, so move forward without looking back - onwards and upwards!

Is everything alright with yosef hatzadik? We haven't heard from you in a while and are worrying about you - the bais hamedrash is too quiet without you - (we can hear the squeak of the mouse who runs in from time to time  ) please continue posting - we miss your chizuk !!

no, he needs some Chizuk.

what can I do? I want to help my favorite reb yosef...

You can ask Hashem to help him. After all, only Hashem can really, truly help.

Simple people say "Hashem will help". Our Rabbis teach us, "Hashem will not help - He will do!"

thanks for coming back, we've missed you!

I am not a Hero - yet.....

Hey - sorry I haven't been around much...

What defines a hero? To me, it's someone who stands up against incredible odds, knowing he could be knocked down, knowing he could lose, knowing there's no guaranteed happy ending. And still, he faces his demons, he moves forward, he grows.

Sounds to me like you fit that bill.

The yetzer hora will always be a part of your life. The question is, when you meet him, do you just walk right by, or do you stop to shmooz, and invite him home?

As much as you can be around here, we will be happy thrilled to have you!

Invite him home? No way!    >
Just walk away? Not there yet.  :-\
Stop to shmooze? He does seem to make interesting conversations...... 

I disagree - you are there already. Maybe you don't do it all the time yet, but you certainly have the capability to do it.

yes, he does tend to seem interesting, and it's only later that we realize that he has nothing to say. But it's easier to get caught up if you think you're never going to meet him again. If you know you're going to meet him, you can plan for what to do to make sure that you just keep walking...

And notice, I didn't say walk away - I said just walk on by. Just keep living your life, doing your thing - not his.
