hello my friends and merry christmas!! this will be my last post for a couple days for obvious reasons!! so its going to be a big one-and all over the map covering lots of thoughts!! so i will apologize now for all the typos i am sure it will be full of..i do better with big crayons LOL!!
the holidays are usually always full of traditions that we always look forward too, and i have noticed lately that as we grow older and things change so have our traditions and even the people we celebrate them with. when i was a kid, every christmas eve we went to midnite mass, where prompltly after that my parents invited what seemed like the entire church and neighborhood over for sausage and peppers...mom and dad didn't stuff stockings and put out presents until well after 4am and us kids-well we were up at 6am sharp LOL. boy has alot changed, we have all gone through many girlfriends and boyfriends inbetween, neigboros moved away. or passed on, we have some X spouses in there and hey just because they are Xs doesn't mean they didn't share in the traditions and that we don't have good memories. we go to early mass now, and christmas dinner is right after, then we exchange gifts, and head home with our own families....and the big one. my dad is no longer with us in body. only in spirit.
so peace on earth good will to men is still the number one wish at this time....as it should be...and my heart goes out to those soldiars fighting for our freedom everyday, with courage and honor...they are held in the highest esteem in my eyes. my god bless you all. but i also have another wish to add to that...as most of you know my mom has cancer-and we are glad she is here to share another year of our tradition...so here is my wish...i wish for a cure for cancer. thats the most unfair war, attacking men, women and children of every age, who also fight with courage and honor. god bless you all as well...
so todays quote is not a quote at all actually but the lyrics to an old beatles song...they said it best...for memories, people and traditions we have loved and lost to whatever battle....may they live on in our hearts forever
there are places i remember, all my life, ,though some have changed. some forever not for better, some are gone, ,and some remain. all these places have their moments, with lovers and friends, i still can recall. some are dead and some are living, in my life...i loved them all....
until next time...safe journey.
