EVERYTHING CHANGES WITH TIME . . .
There is no mistaking the seriousness of the lockdown mandates due to the pandemic sweeping across the entire world it seems.
The hardships are mounting for individuals, for families, for businesses, for world leaders, no one can escape the seriousness of the situation.
I have not written a post for this blog for some time, and knew that my usual efforts to express the holidays can fall flat or seem silly.
As for me, I like to watch movies, and have been doing quite a bit of this lately.
I have Holiday Favorites, something my family has passed down to me and mine.
I was thinking of one of those, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". It had all kinds of incidents where an angry and may I say disillusioned Grinch just decided if he couldn't be happy, well no one in the entire area around him could have any joy at all.
So, he decided to steal Christmas. His efforts were colossal, and you must watch this animated and also not animated show to see what happened.
The point is, Thanksgiving is taking a direct hit by this serious virus and that is a fact we all can't ignore -- not even to keep up Thanksgiving and all that means.
When things get so serious many people ask, why do things like this happen?
When I was much younger than I am now, I became what I call in an old fashioned way "sickly" and at times seemed close to death. I am still here.
I am often asked by people who find themselves at the same point, why do such things happen. One long, very long stay I had in a hospital once, I had so much time to think things out, that I got serious about this question.
For me, I found an answer and began to tell people what I discovered. There lying flat on a hard hospital bed I found at one point, I could only look up.
WEll, one thing lead to another, and I finally closed my eyes and prayed. It was like a totally new discovery, a new thought, and even a new direction. Having by this terrible confinement nothing to do but look up, I finally did. Then I bowed my head and prayed.
Maybe that is too simple. To this day I am surprised it worked so well.
People ask me my age sometimes and I say, look on Facebook. I don't know why I put it there, but I continue to let it just be there. I celebrate birthdays quietly. I sometimes celebrate holidays in a rather lonely way anyway.
But I wanted to share this simple truth with my blog friends and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
--------------------
Also,
I wrote a small book for Christmas. First time EVER I get a Holiday book out before the holiday.
But it is about an eccentric old lady. I thought about changing that, but thought no, I like her just the way she is.
