Holidays


The Holiday season this year is shaken up like a snow globe. I am working a new job and still getting my feet under me. Catching up on glass and when old find out I am making pieces they want to have something...like an addiction.
I used to have trained to order a minimum of 6 months in advance......time to retrain....lol.
My family, like many, has spread to the wind. Part of this is my fault, part is just growth. Last year I finally moved to my home near the beach with my flowers and the quiet. It makes a two hour drive to the nearest that does not live with me, but that is fine. We visit and share time frequently, so it is not a bad thing. All of the steps and my older two are in their thirties now, it feels time for me to sprout my wings and be on my own a bit. LOL, I mean they are getting up there in years. I stayed young, but no, they all got so old .
Soon, April will be grown and gone. It is time to reach for my ultimate childhood goal. I want to be aunt Vi. I still have post cards from aunt Vi riding camels in front of the pyramids. I want to be her. Perhaps not a global traveler (she had no ) but a traveler, an explorer, someone who begins life over in their later years and lives the last days to their fullest. Gone more than 30 years, but vibrant in the hearts of those blessed to know her.
So as we look for time between Christmas and new year to gather the family from the four corners, to plan sleep overs and game nights, stop just a moment to think someone there is going to want to be you someday. They are watching and amazed.

Yeah Christmas can be a morbid time for some folks. Sounds like you have things lined up to do. I haven't decided what I am going to do as yet. I don't plan to go anywhere.

I WILL PROBABLY BE SPENDING CHRISTMAS ALONE AND THAT DOES NOT BOTHER ME AT ALL. NO ARGUING ABOUT FOOD, NO DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT TO WATCH ON TV. NO BEING ON THE ROADS WITH DRUNK DRIVERS. I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT THAT IS HOW I LIKE THINGS.
