So this week the subject is: Pondering
I've been doing a lot of thinking - pondering - about how lucky I truly am. At this time of the year, it's easy to get a little depressed about little things - for instance:
I'm broke!
There doesn't seem to be many presents under the tree yet.
I haven't seen my son in 2 years!
I miss the days when me and my bf would make Christmas candy all day long.
Then I think -
Who isn't broke at Christmas?
So I need to do some more shopping and I may have to get a little creative.
Bummer - but maybe this year - and a grandbaby too! - at least he's in a relatively safe place - there's a lot worse places the military could send him.
So start making candy - it may be too far to drive to her house to do it but I can do it by myself and maybe drive over next weekend and take her some!
Anyway - I've been "pondering" a lot about the homeless and the work that Brenda does. When I think of people living on the streets it makes my problems seem so trivial. I actually have it pretty good. Thanks Brenda for helping me to see that!
Tami - thanks for pondering along with me.... and you are welcome, because your post made me realize that as much as I totally MISS my daughter all the way over in Germany... you are so right... things could be so much worse! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you...who isn't broke around the Holidays? Brenda's work with the homeless makes you realize that no matter how bad our day is going we could be much worse off!!! Hope, you have fun making that candy. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWe had to tell our three teenage boys that they have a $ limit this year. They all gave us a list of things they would like with the knowledge that Santa had to lay off some elves this year.
ReplyDeleteguess I should stop pondering why Left Brain had to work so much overtime this week......since it will pay for Christmas. somedays, a good kick in the but can feel quite nice :)
