The Holiday Season is partly over now and I wanted to just put a few thoughts down . To some it's a season of magic , presents, family and good food. For others it's not as special for many reasons. Financial lack with so many out of work . Missing loved ones who are far away or no longer with us this year.
Myself I find there is Magic still in the Christmas season if you look for it. This year was bitter sweet for me and my family. Our Son so far away starting his life and making his own roads. Doesn't matter how old age doesn't matter when it comes to family. The sadness of loosing my grandmother christmas Eve. My wifes Aunt's mother passed a day and a half before that. Plus we have thoughts of the loved ones who passed in previous years and are no longer with us.
Family who for what ever reasoning don't speak anymore and are separated by strife and anger. All of these reasons are enough to bring you down. I chose not to let any of those take me down that path.
Instead of thinking about the negative we celibrated the memory of those lost to us . They are still with us in the good memories and in our hearts always. The long distance family we talked to and exchanged gifts still. Making them part of our christmas and us part of theirs. Embracing those who are able to be with us even more so this holiday season. Because in this world we now live in with all it's wonders you have to find the light and the good and celibrate it now today. Being strong and able to deal with whatever comes our way next and it will come. We just can't worry about what is to come. It's to hard on anyone to dwell on the negative. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying be all pie in the sky and out of touch . I am just saying that even I have things to bring me down I just chose to find the good in all the bad that is around us. I never even mentioned the downer news that is on daily .
So try your best to make the best of it. Problems are a bit easier if you face them one day at a time. And instead of looking at the pile of bad build your own pile of good.
May 2010 be a wonderous year of change and prosperity for you all. From my family to yours Happy Holidays , Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. And May you find the strength to be all you can be for you and those you love. Remember we are the keepers of the memories of those who are no longer physically with us. Celibrate those memories keeping them alive always................. DJ.
