The thing about Christmas and other holidays!

Tweet

While answering a discission that was started by one of my friends I realized that we all have a different idea of a holiday. I know that Christmas can be hard on the single mom that scrapes by and now has to figure out to get some presents for her kids so they won't be hurt seeing other kids with all their new stuff! Those that are alone are lonly X 100 on holidays. More deaths due to heart attacks and suicide occur on holidays..so for some it's only a remimder that that was the time when a loved one passed.. I am not exactly looking forward to Christmas this year either... Since last christmas I lost my sister Joanie due to kidney failure and my marriage has broken apart, I am having to sell 3 of my beloved horses.My 17 year old daughter sleeps at my older daughter's house because she hates to be here because it just reminds her of what her dad has done and that we are not both living here... I hate that I let her because I don't have the strength to deal with it all and still get out of bed each day... That day will be another day to remind me of how different the journey I walk has become.. I will miss my husband even more..Sure wish love came with a turn off switch! I dislike seeing the useless junk in the carts at Walmart knowing that they will be crowding the landfil by Arpil Fool's Day I hate waste and think it should be against the law as long as one being on this earth goes without! I can not help feeling sad for the starving when I am swollowing a mouthful of turkey,stuffing,and mashed potatoes... How they would love to have even one tenth of my holiday meal! So those of you that love the holidays save a bit of that spirit to share with someone lonely... Or buy an extra turkey and leave it in a box on where someone that is having a tough time will get it.. Hold someones hand that is in pain! Let this holiday truely be a holiday of giving! Love to all this Holiday Season xoxoxoxoxo
