Yom Kippur

Today is Yom Kippur, the 10th day of Tishrei 5773 in the Jewish calendar. It is a day of atonement. For Jewish people it is the holiest day of the year. I woke up this morning feeling a bit sad. When I went downstairs into my kitchen, I saw the yartzeit candles burning. We lit them last night for our departed family members. Each year as the candles are lit, it reminds us of how precious our families are. Time goes by so quickly and sometimes it is wasted on self made problems. As I look at the candles, I always think of what I would do if I had just one more day with the people that the candles represent. I know for sure it would not be wasted on senseless issues.
