The theme for National Blog Posting Month in December is mitzvah. Not being terribly knowledgeable about Judaism, I started by researching the word itself. According to Wikipedia, it has in more recent times come to mean an act of kindness. (Wikipedia actually says "act of human kindness," but I think we can assume the "human" part is understood.)
Traditionally, though, a mitzvah is a commandment of Jewish law. The plural is mitzvot, and the plural is appropriate because there are a lot of them.
So. If I am to participate in NaBloPoMo, I can write about gifts or rules. Hmm, let me think... ;-)
Actually, I don't find either theme terribly inspiring, so I'm not sure this is going to be my month for NaBloPoMo. But if I proceed, with 31 days to account for, I'll probably hit on both over the course of the month.
I might also loop in some posts using the prompts here. The prompt for today is Best Trip of 2009. I don't have to do that one because Frank took care of it. I'll just add that we also had a few impromptu drives to Oregon and British Columbia that were really fun and added a lot to our Joy Quotient for the year.
Friends who let you sleep over are a blessing indeed.
