אזמרה לאלקי בעודי

"Azamra l'elokai bi'odi"

Said Dovid Hamelech - I sing to Hashem "bi'odi" with every "od" [more] of mine. Every time I think of a positive quality I possess I break out into song. You can walk down the street or sit on the train [the trains in Jerusalem are FINALLY running! The price is right - free - and there were sooooo many people on the train yesterday it brought to such ACHDUS when everybody was squished together. How unifying!] or drive down the highway and SING about a myleh of yours. You sing nicely, you are good looking, you are smart, whatever it is - SING! You are special in ways nobody else is. You are a singularly unique reflection of the Divine.

Truly a reason to sing.
