Dear Matzav Inbox, 
To all my friends and neighbors who had the opportunity to escape to the mountains or wherever you were lucky enough to vacation:
Welcome back home! Though you would have loved to stay, I’m happy to see you all return with glowing tans and sun-kissed faces. I’m truly glad you didn’t have to endure the heat and grind of the city.
As for me, although I dreamed of the country air and a cool, refreshing swim in a clear blue lake, I was among those who stayed behind, keeping watch over the city. Surprisingly, the city was peaceful—the traffic was lighter, the stores were less crowded, and life had a certain ease to it that I could get used to.
Summer moved along, and it was good, doing what the Borei Olam had in mind for me to accomplish. I’m sure all of you who had the chance to relax while sipping your lattes in the sun were doing yours: saying more Tehillim for Klal Yisroel, maybe even dabbling in shidduchim, performing countless acts of chesed, and perhaps engaging in some self-introspection—things we don’t always get to do in the hectic city life.
If this is true, then I did mine and you did yours. Together, we fulfilled the will of the One Above.
Welcome home again!
P.S. No need to feel bad for me—I got to take care of and really enjoy my family, and I even had a bit of fun in the sun and water, too! I even got to ride a [missing word here].
A lover of Klal Yisroel
