The day before Thanksgiving has arrived, the day of rushing about and making sure all is bought for the big meal and good times. It is to be a day of celebration of being thankful for all one has, and enjoying the time with family and friends. Sometimes we all, assume others will be with us and take them for granted, yet find out at the last minute they are no longer with us. To those families who have that sudden loss, time shall heal all wounds including these. So, enjoy the holiday with the ones you have and be thankful for being alive.
As to me, I survive as do my loved ones in many places, even my ex-loved ones. I do my daily bit when possible and make the best of what I can. I have my own little projects daily like any man or woman and take my time to do them right. My latest project was making a wooden deck walkway to the basement apartment in my home. The land here is sloping in two ways and I had to dig out the area and level it, that took time in and of itself. Then there was the building of the frame to fit the space it went into and of course it has weird angles on each end. Nothing is easy around here. Anyway once the frame was together and in place the top decking boards had to be screwed on. The walkway is now functioning perfectly and looking good.
The runs to the stores never end it seems around this time of year, first is the Thanksgiving foods and drinks and the decorations too. Then after you clean up from Thanksgiving and run your dishwasher like crazy, you face the next Holiday Season to come, Christmas. Now not everyone celbrates Christmas others call it different names of course but it is a time of family, love and giving and sharing that makes all smile no matter age,race, color or anything else. The stores put up the ads and sales and away we go buying for one another and giving, Some budget amounts for each person, others just buy, but on the holidays morning, we all share a smile, a laugh, a hug, a kiss, and most of all a feeling of not having missed the loved ones we still have alive. That is what is important, not what you get or give, the materials are nothing, the family and loved ones are all.
So as the Holiday Season starts in full swing this 2010 year, lets all send thanks and high hopes to all for whom we care. Smile and share and live without fear, for you can only have it once a year. Don’t drink and drive or do drugs, cut back if you smoke so you don’t choke, and smile more my friends. For one day as we all know, we all must up and go, so while here have fun and enjoy and live life to the fullest.
