Sitting here pondering the the last year and looking at the ups and downs got me thinking. I don’t always think that everything good and bad goes in yearly cycles but It always seems that things do change in my life every 12 months or so. Stating around September of 2007, my life began one of those down cycles. I was feeling depressed, then I lost my grandfather, then finances got really really tight for us and finally I lost my job. Then came September of 2008, and things began to change. I found out that my contract job was becoming a permanent position, My wife and I found out that we were going to be able to adopt twin boys after 3 years of trying to have a child on our own. At the end of November our boys were born and we got to bring them home from the hospital, and I found out that my soon to be perm position came with a substantial raise. Out of curiosity I did a search to see if anything happens in the Sept – Nov time frame and lo and behold it was when the Jewish new year occurs. Although I am not Jewish, I am a Christian and until the birth of Christ they were the same. In fact all of the holidays were the same until Constantine changed the catholic church to make it more attractive to the Pagans of the time in order to convert them. So it may just be coincidence but maybe not!!!!
