NEW YEAR FIRST, THEN ASK FORGIVENESS
Thank you Rabbi. This brought tears, as well as understanding.

This year is more difficult for me than some others. I am more emotional than usual. (and I am usually pretty emotional)

It is so good to be able to read, and hear familiar voices, words, and lessons. This is very appreciated.

I wish you the New Year you would wish yourself.

Repentance
Our G-d is a Father of love and mercy. He is ready to forgive us the instant we ask forgiveness for any wrong doing. We should be repenting daily throughout the year, as we become aware of our wrongs and omissions. As you repent you will feel peace in your soul, and be more able to move forward in your spiritual progress.

When to askfor forgiveness
Forgive yourself first. THEN ask for G-d's foregiveness. Just do all your repentance before YK, and do a few mitzvahs too-as good deeds are important. We don't always make or have the time, for good deeds, so do them ritualistically at this time of year. Once you start, you will want to do more. I know. And accept that you are imperfect, acknowledge that first, and then simply try to be in a better place in your actions at this time next year. Your questioning shows you are a good person, a person who cares about your behavior, so don't be too hard on yourself, and remember that He is a loving G-d & wants you to be happy!
L'shana tova to you and yours..wishing you health, happiness, prosperity, and inner peace from beautiful beverly hills, regards, pauli
