Hi everyone, how are you? you probably have a great time during the summer break, that this time was longer.
I'd like tothank all of you for picking us band of the year, it's a great honour and we're very hapy that we won it. We worked hard this ummer, we had fun performing infront of you and we glad for this and thank you.
When you'll read this, i won't be in the country. It's a bit weird but that's the way it is. During the time you'll read what i'm writing to you, i'll be on the plane...
When you fly you see everything from one point. Suddenly you notice how much we small. During this long flight, w hen everyone are sleeping, i love to get up and stand next to the exit door and watch everyone.
In New Year's eve it's much more meaning. We all grew in a year, some of them grew up, some didn't, some of us got healther and some got sick, some of us lost dearest people and some of us earn lovers people. But we all won. What we won? Another year of experience for better or worst, we won the chance to know, understand, learn and forget, forgive and love.
When i'm flying at night in New Year's eve, just about those things i'm thinking about. And then there is "yom kepur" and for me it's to stand with mom and dad at "bet hakneset", listen to the "hazan" reading "kol nedaray". yeah, i'm also fasting - and not cause you need to, cause it's important for me, cause it help. Though when you're hungry it's a little bit hard but it helps to understand the meaning of it. During the fasting i'm trying to think about all the less selfish things, about what i did and didn't, about what i should have done and didn't, about all the people i hurt them. It's the hardest thing to deal with.
When you realize that you hurt someone and ask his forgiveness - it's a little embarassing, a little hurt, but eventually it's the right thing to do. There is a feeling of releif. When you forgive someone it's also a releif.
On all that - and about you, i'll think in New Year's eve and Yom Kepur.
Happy Sweet New Year!
