    Association would be

    (A + B) + C = A + (B + C)

    ==========================

    Commutative is

    (A + B) = C = (B + A) + C

    or

    A+B = B+A

    factoring.

    1/2 A + 1/2 B = 1/2(A+B)

    You are factoring out the common term, 1/2.

    ======================================================

    The reverse process is the distributive property, distributing the 1/2 to each term: 1/2(A+B)=1/2 A + 1/2 B

    Blue eyes sound better than a blue mood.

    Dear Feiffy,

    So glad to hear you are feeling better; good news these days is GREAT news.

    Ok, so here’s my relationship question.

    I’ve hit a bump in my relationship here in the cr and can’t seem to find the joy that I had before. So I spend much less time reading and writing here. (Perhaps that’s a good thing?!)

    How do I get back to how I felt before the snafu?

    Instead of drowning your sorrow in booze

    Perhaps you can try to just “chap” a snooze

    And refresh yourself with vim and vigor

    For Hashem is leading, and His picture is bigger

    Let’s combat the sad news by doing more chesed

    Volunteer in a hospital or in Aym v’yeled

    With increased zchuyos and spreading good cheer

    May we all be zoche to a wonderful great year

    “Am I wrong in my feelings?”

    Feelings are not wrong. Work with them.

    When you respond to the simcha invitation with the finished product of your hard work, include a card “Your early response is greatly appreciated”

    ___ greatly appreciated the hours of hard work

    ___ moderately appreciated the hours of hard work

    ___ did not appreciate the hours of hard work at all

    Aries, you have such a depth of caring in your post, thank you for being here and for being you.

    WOI-the fact that you’re asking the question means you are not there. When you know, you know. Since you have NOT decided it’s time, please change your part in the dynamics however you can (it takes two to tango); individual therapy will help you with that.

    Wishing you MUCH hatzlacha.

    “I was bothered by what she did, but if it wouldn’t bother me, I would still be doing the Chessed.”

    -Tell them that although you enjoyed doing the chesed, when she did _____, it made you feel unappreciated and used. See how she responds. You need to communicate your stand on the event.

    -Tell them calmly what it is you need from her so that you will feel more comfortable doing the chesed.

    -You’d be amazed how some people just didn’t realize and immediately change their behavior. But if you still get grief, replace this chesed with another recipient. There is no shortage of need in this area. You mention Ohr Naava in other threads; there’s actually a special chesed coordinator there.

    It shows a lot about your character, that you are bothered by the fact that you would still be doing her chesed.

    Kol hakavod.

    -Expect that life naturally has its ups and downs

    -Develop coping skills to develop resilience

    -Exercise at least 10 minutes every morning

    -Write in a journal before you go to sleep and upon arising. Include 5 things for which you are grateful.

    -Breathe deeply from your diaphragm

    -Listen to music

    -Read Garden of Emunah and Garden of Gratitude

    -Keep a healthy diet

    *The diet and exercise reduce physical stress while increasing endorphins, thereby giving you stamina to withstand emotional stress.

    *Writing without thinking itemizes for you clearly what’s on your mind, thereby creating relief and space. Including a gratitude journal creates balance and more focus on other things going on in your life.

    *Music is the language of the soul and makes us happy.

    *Increasing your emuna and gratitude helps keep one going in a more positive frame of mind.

    You can do it, and we’re all cheering you on! Feel better soon!

    And you’ll help your friends get through it as well!

    “I always feel so hurt & stepped on.”

    You are correct that people should at least say “thank you,” but not everyone does.

    -Try to do things that make you feel good about it even if you don’t get back the appreciation. If you are doing the deed just to get the appreciation, you may be disappointed.

    -Tell them it seems as if they don’t like the job you’ve done for them and how would they have done it differently.

    -Tell them calmly that you feel unappreciated when you do the good deeds without any positive feedback.

    -If you’re asked to do another favor, let them know up front that you’d really like to, but it’s important for you to feel acknowledged and not taken for granted.

    -If the recipient(s) not only do not acknowledge your efforts but actually give you grief, then you need to reevaluate if perhaps your energies are better used elsewhere.

    I’ve done this myself right here in the cr and only post a fraction of what I used to.

    That means letting us know each night how you did that day regarding 3 areas: diet, exercise, and self-talk (Goq, you did a great job! You used some olive oil instead of salad dressing, and exercised ten minutes more than yesterday, etc.)

    You asked for it, you got it! Too late to back out now! You’ve got all of us, like it or not!

    You can do it. Full confidence in you.

    Abie Rotenberg-Teardrop

    In a one room apartment, somewhere in the city

    A story of magic unfolds

    There lived an old widow without any children

    Abandoned, forgotten, alone

    And she lived with the memories of barbed wire fences

    And darkness invading her dreams

    Oh, if ever a woman had a reason to cry

    Then surely the woman was she

    But never did she shed a tear

    She asked for no answers, had nothing to fear

    Well it happened one Friday, there just was no money

    Her table bare, covered in white

    But she found a few pennies and bought a small candle

    Her Shabbos would still have its light

    And she lit the lone candle, recited the bracha

    The deepest of joys in her heart

    When a gust of wind blew through a crack in the window

    The flame once so bright had gone dark

    This time the pain was so great

    She tried to hold it back but it was too late

    There was a teardrop formed on the edge of her eye

    It rolled down her cheek, heading straight for the candle

    As if with a mind of its own

    Touching the wick, the drop burst out in flames

    Once more there was light in her home

    No more could she hold back the tears

    She cried out the sorrow of so many years

    G-d’s love is hidden, in time we’ll know why

    But the heavens had told her it’s all right to cry
