A Moment in Time: Getting Your Ducks Lined Up

[additional-authors]
February 14, 2020
Dear all,
I was at a baby shower recently that featured little rubber ducks. As I lined them up, Rebecca, who works at Temple Akiba, said, “Hey – this is a Moment in Time.” She was correct.
Getting your ducks lined up mean to put things in order, to prepare for what’s coming, to make strategic plans. Where is this most needed in our lives? Let me offer a few examples:
Investing wisely.
Studying hard.
Pursuing our dreams.
Communicating with family.
Making amends (Teshuvah)
Preparing a will.
Harnessing peace.
Finding joy.
Capturing a moment in time (which takes getting your mindset conditioned to noticing little things).
Every mindful act we do puts our ducks in order. Are you ready to begin?
With love and Shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
