Holiday Cheer

I feel like the holidays just crept up on me. I hate that. The older and older I get the less excitement there is in my life. Less appreciation for things that made me happy. I take those things for granted now. The smell of the fall, that woody smell of the fire places, the smell of frost in the morning. I associate smells to memories just as much as I associate music to memories. Little things like that that I would usually notice and therefore make me happy about the holidays have gone without notice. I suppose when your family is in jepardy of even existing you lose track of time as well as those petty things that you would normally be focusing on. What's a thanksgiving if you're not sharing it with your family and people that you love? What's a christmas if you're not waking to the people that love you? This year I am thankful for the people in my life and the bonds that hold us all together. I am thankful for my family. I don't care what I'm eating for thanksgiving, I don't care what I'm getting for christmas, as long as my family shares it together. I appreciate the people that are in my life and most importantly the people that stay in my life. In my life you stay and in my heart you will always be welcome.

Happy holidays everyone. Make sure you spend it with the people you love and always be grateful that you have someone.
