There is bit more extra’s of life during Shabbos then you have during the rest of the week. For on this day you have a bit more (lot more) time to enjoy and appreciate then you have for the rest of the 24 hour days. Here are some added benefits that are an addition to anyone’s life (below) and those around you.
(1) AFFECTION- This is the day hello’s can be longer then goodbye’s. Where a handshake can turn into a hug.
(2) READ- You have much more time to read and discover new worlds right inside your own house.
(3) BREATHE- You can actually take the time to breathe in and smell the snow. It’s been a long winter.
(4) SLEEP- Yes even the most observant can catch up on a bit more rest time.
(5) TASTE- Food can actually be chewed before it’s swallowed and the taste can linger (hopefully a good one) with you way past the time you swallowed it.
(6) THINK- What really is important? Why are you here? What does G-D expect of me? What did they actually put in that Chicken Soup?
(7) LISTEN- Absorb all the noises around you even the one’s your loved one’s make.
