Now I'm going to have to get use to labelling everything 2oo5...When I was young it was almost tradition to dress up the family and go out into the cold weather just to visit my dad's friends houses. We'd amuse ourselves while my dad would enjoy all the spirits of the season...And then we'd come home and watch the ball drop (if we could stay awake that long), and then everyone would hug and cry on the passing of the year.
Now, most of the Holiday Season has been quiet. We (my husband and I) spend it with eachother being comfortable, happy and content. We praise the passing of the year hoping the next year will be better than the last. No more crying, no more confusion and tension...Very peaceful. Don't get me wrong I miss my father and I miss the visiting but now that I'm older I realize that a lot of the confusion, crying and tension was all based on too much of the "spirits" taking over our lives.
I worry and fret about those who still live in that environment and why they put up with it. I used to because I didn't know any different because I was so young, but now I'm older and I won't ever go back to the way it used to be. This is a great life and I'm thankful for every day and I want it to expand and share it with my family and friends the best I can. I can't make everyone understand my way of thinking but I hope that they come to realize that a new year means a new way of living, not falling back into the same cycle of confusion year after year.
Love and peace to all! Yes is the answer!
