Speaking of Tehillim, I keep forgetting to write about this moment of hashgacha pratisā¦
When I first moved here, I got into a strict schedule of learning on my morning and evening commutes. I had only just enough time to do Chitas (chumash, Tehillim, Tanya) and the amount of Rambam I was aiming to get through per day (at least one chapter and then some), so as soon as I got on the train I got down to learning. However, after I finished Rambam in February of this year, I hadnāt yet decided what to replace it with, and so just ended up with extra time on my commute. This would lead to my thinking,Ā āI donāt have to get started right away, I have plenty of time,ā which would sometimes be true, but increasingly often meant I just wasnāt doing all of Chitas by the end of the day. (Though it wasnāt the only factor in that - I also felt burnt out on Tanya due to learning multiple cycles of it simultaneously; it just wasnāt doing it for me the way it used to, especially once we got past the more easily understandable perakim.) Eventually I just blatantly lāchatchila wasnāt doing anything except chumash.
Recently I resolved to get back into Tehillim after quite some time not saying them at all. That morning I picked up my Tehillim and opened to the page where Iād last put the bookmark who knows how long ago.
It was that dayās Tehillim.
