To Everyone Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

As I head into the Holidays I am reminded that not everyone celebrates Christmas, I am wondering what people do that don’t celebrate the birth of Christ. I am guilty of not always thinking of Christmas as celebrating the birth of Christ growing up, and even into my adulthood. But I guess many or most people find Christ in their own way. 

For everyone out there that will be alone this Christmas please understand, your not alone, you never have been. Look around, there are many places and people that will share their time and talk to you. There are places to go and just be near others, talk or not, and Christ is always there whether you want to talk or not, your choice. Find peace within yourself and look for the good in others. You’ll find it in most people, and those that you can’t, walk on by them and leave them to their own life. 

As for next year, work on things that will improve your life. Reducing the things that bring stress into your life. Weeding out the drama that others bring into your life. Also look to your own way of doing things and interacting with others. No one is perfect and don’t expect them to be this includes yourself.  A bit of rambling from me but what I am trying to say is find peace with yourself, your family and friends. Don’t let others problems become yours if you can. Let the stress wash off of you and enjoy the day and give thanks. 

God Bless to all

Merry Christmas

Thanksgiving Day is just around the corner

Why do we have a Thanksgiving Holiday? What is Thanksgiving to the people of the United States? For my family we come together when we can to share a meal and be with family. We catch up on how everyone is doing. We remember the ones we have lost.

A lot of people enjoy  the time off work and the football games on the TV. Also some people can’t take the time off. They have to work because they have no choice. For a lot of stores its become the busiest time of the year.

Whatever your situation this year take a moment and let the people close to you know what they mean to you. Give thanks that you have made it another year and you can work on another.

Veterans Day

I can only speak for myself and family. For all those serving now and who have served Thank you.

For all those who gave their lives to serve, defend and protect our country. God bless and may you find peace in His loving embrace.

 

Parents That Have Kids With Food Allergies.

Approximately 15 million people in the United States have food allergies. Roughly 4 percent of people age 18 or older – more than 9 million adults – have food allergies. Results from a 2009-2010 survey of more than 38,000 children indicate that 5.9 million children, or 8 percent, have food allergies. That’s 1 in 13 children, or roughly two in every classroom.

What is the new old age?

I’ll be looking at retirement next year and I am not sure I’m ready. I’ve spent most of my life doing manual labor in the maintenance field. It takes a beating on your body let me tell you. My knees are bad my shoulder is starting to ache and things are starting to slow down. But I just don’t know if I want to stop working.

Honestly I never thought I would get this far in life. I guess most people don’t think about it but I have had many milestones that I have passed. Thirty being the biggest one. Now that I am sixty one I am amazed I am thinking of what am I going to do if I retire.

I know I could conceivable live another thirty years. But lets face it there is just not that many home repairs to keep me that busy. I have many interests but they take money.
