Good morning. Here she is, Maxine of Words, in her glory, as she prepares for Christmas. I wish she were a real live person I could invite over for Christmas dinner. What a conversationalist! Bet she'd clear the room in a hurry. She does remind me of a few old gals who were a challenge to really get to know. They led the parade in waving a baton of friendship and snatching it away as you got close. Determination is the secret of success as each of them became a life long friend, gone now, but oh what memories they left behind, and a ding or two to the heart when I think of them. The holidays bring about a myriad of thoughts and deeds that need repeating in life. Forgiveness to others and save some for yourself. Love of family, some folks do not have one, so share yours. Adopt a pet, especially a person pet who needs a hug or two. Light a candle for those in need and stretch its warmth to include those who left us behind with unresolved issues. Lighten the load and slow down and see and hear the voices of those who love you and want to share a little of your time. Maxine may not agree with my thoughts this morning but I would include her in my company and give her lots of hugs to thank her for the belly laughs and her tremendous sense of humor.
Make today a light one....go outside in the snow, the rain, the wind and blow a few cobwebs out of the brain. A great day to shop for those impossible to buy for . . . that special trinket is waiting for you to see it and snatch it up. Decorate your space then sit back with a bit of eggnog and sing along with the Christmas music even if you do not remember all the words. Make today a good one.
