just thoughts
November traditionally can be very gloomy...where I come from it is filled with sombre holidays...Sunday of the Dead...All Saints Day...and just foggy, rainy, chilly days and nights...one prepares for winter and welcomes the rare sunny day.
I haven't blogged in a while...too much bad stuff happening right on the heels of joy...the eternal question, Why? plagues me even though I know darn well there are no answers ever to that one. Why is joy married to sorrow? Why is life married to death?
At my age I ought not to question. I ought to accept readily enough. Yet I still don't.
So that's why I haven't written anything here. Most readers look for something uplifting. So you should. Life is tough enough without pondering upon other people misfortunes.
My mother lived to be 93 years old, despite incredible hardships and physical ailments. Her secret? She found something small and mundane to enjoy every day..she listened to her radio, drank her tea and ate her small marbled sponge cakes...enjoyed her potted flowers and listened to the birds sing...
That's the art of living when life is really too grim to contemplate.
It's self-indulgent to say I don't feel like 'Thanksgiving' this year...there is plenty to be thankful for...now to gear up for a changed mindset...I'm trying. I hope you can too...better yet, you don't have to try.
