Hi All: I am tired tonight, but thought I would write on my blog to document what I think and feel. I am feeling a little pressure because of the upcoming holiday, but tomorrow I will write out my list for what to buy for Turkey Day. Every year it all comes into place and all is done and the food is great and we all celebrate the season. I bought a red dress for the holiday and hope it fits. I put it in the closet and will try it on when I have the time and when I am alone. I enjoy my moments of privacy. Getting back to what I was saying...I enjoy the holidays and yet feel emotional at the same time. Today I was remembering when I was 17yo and had my first real young adult relationship. He was volunteering at a local hospital and I went to visit him. I was so glad to see him and when he was off work, he took me up to the top floor in a conference room (if I remember), and we looked out at the entire city at night. It was so beautiful and we were really in love. Many years have passed and I still remember him and that time we shared. We were best friends too. So, when this time of year comes around, I think of him. more than usual. We are both married other people and have grown kids and he has grand kids, but we had a special time together and I am glad of this.
I also like this time of year, for how it feels. I can't explain it other than it is a special warm feeling that smells like cloves and cinnamon and garlic and onions and love.
