its past thanksgiving. now we can officially take out our christmas socks and listen to christmas music! hope everyone's thanksgiving was wonderful. i love thanksgiving. i might like it just as much as christmas. i love the food. i love family. i love the whole idea of it- giving thanks. i love the people. i love the colors (i know, so superficial. but what can i say, i love fall colors). and i love the food. did i already say that? thankfulness.. make sure you make it a lifestyle, not a once a year holiday. "enter His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise."
i was thinking the other day (yea, i know, what a surprise eh?) and i was thinking about how i'm not-so-good at keeping in touch with people. i've lost contact with so many. and its not because i don't care, its just i'm not very good at it. my first love language is obviously not quality time on the phone. or quality time through email or snail mail. (not quality time anything, to be exact.) i'm living in the 21st century but i do not have a cell phone. people may think its impossible, but actually its quite possible, and i enjoy it. i never was a phone person to begin with. and because i've been without one for quite some time, i've gotten used to it. so now, a 10 minute phone conversation is quite long and i start to get antsy. (gosh, remember our adolescent days, when we would spend all night on the phone?)
so my apologies, for my lack of communication of my care and concern. i really do love to love people. and i must tell you, i think about all the people i've known and met quite often. i'll be driving, or washing the dishes, and then a picture, a thought, a memory of that person runs by me. and i wonder, how are they? what are they doing?
i'm trying to be better. i'm trying to tell people hello, how are you, i know you're still alive, and so am i. it is sad though, when you realize how the time has flown, and how long its been since you have talked to that person, and when you get past all the jumble of life and sometimes laziness and sometimes being busy, you try to say "hello" and all you get back is a no answer, i'm not home anymore. at least not for you. ah well. as long as i remember the good times, keep em in my heart, and pray the best for them, despite my shortcomings.
gosh what is all this mumbo jumbo. i'm on a writing streak. enjoy your weekend and bust out all that christmas fun! |
