Our lives are full of “should”s. I should go to the grocery store. I should make that appointment I’ve been avoiding. I should ignore the beautiful weather outside and finish my work to meet this deadline. What if we were to consider this coming year full of “want”s? I want to make time for myself. I want to see my extended family more. I want to see that new movie. May this month of Elul be the empowerment, the emboldening, of “want” over “should.”
