The 18th day of the Counting of the Omer begins with Shabbat on Friday night. Tonight we count two weeks and four days of the Omer.
This is the day of Netzach within Tiferet, endurance within balance. On this day, I am thinking about how real balance and harmony are achieved through persistent and committed effort. I am thinking about the many promises I've made to myself over the years – how I have resolved to keep to a particular diet, practice prayer, spend time with family, and get physical exercise, to name a few. I have succeeded in some of these practices over time, others have waxed and waned. In all of them, I have found that experiencing the highs and lows of trying to maintain a balanced life has been as valuable as the practices themselves.
On this 18th day of the Counting of the Omer, I want to notice the long-term balancing act of living a harmonious life. I renew my commitment to persisting in the practices that keep me centered on the person I want to be. I take delight in the length of the journey and the resolve to maintain it.
May this be a day in which you discover your drive to persist in seeking a life of joy, brilliance and harmony.
