Updates.

Well, obviously it has been some time since I have posted anything new. Almost two years in fact. It is almost Christmas time again, and I still love feeling the midst of magic in the air. It is extremely cold out, and things are quite different now. I have changed my thinking on some things, though not many that I could share with everyone all at once.

 

There is something, though, that haunts my thoughts. It never seems to dissappear. When looking for the one you love, how do you know whom to choose?  Do you pick the one that you adore to talk to long hours on the phone? The one that creates wonderful surprises and bakes delicious desserts? The one that makes your heart tingle just by being there? Yes, these things are minor, but when there are choices to be made, and those around you will be hurt no matter what you do, trivial things become the things that set them apart. This probably makes no sense to some people. But ask yourself this, if the person you think you want to be with forever is gone, how would you reacte--not just immediately, but over the course of years? Could you manage to simply be with another? Would you have to wait many many years to overcome the fact that your love is gone? How long could you last without them? There are few that I could live without. Much of my family lives very far away. They may not know that they are my family, but they are.

Lovely....
I adore this time of the year, the season of joy, peace, and prosperity. Every year at Christmastime, I enjoy...spending time with my beloved family, smelling the delicious foods that the ladies partake in baking, deciding the perfect place for each Christmas ornament on the tree, and best of all, listening to the Christmas story right before tucking the youngsters into bed.

Thanksgiving.
Well, I trust all of you Americans had a good Thanksgiving holiday. Being in England I do not celebrate Thanksgiving. When I lived in America a few years ago, I did celebrate this holiday twice and I think of it as more of an American holiday more than ever before now. The food was delicious, but I do not consider Thanksgiving one of my favorite holidays.

Mood:  don't ask
I have yet to discover why ladies are so easy to please, until you ask them one simple question, then they disappear like leaves in the winter. I have recently lost my lady to an unknown gentleman in another town. She seems to be happier now, only I still do not recognize the cause of her departure from me. I would be most grateful if someone would graciously tell me why my lady left me. I do not think I could ever care for another, for there is none as beautiful and intelligent as she.
