Well, I just finished reading Rebecca's blog, and it made me a little sad. Why is it that the older we get, and the busier we get, we manage to fall out of touch with family and friends? Why is it that the dearest and most loved people in our lives, are the ones that we see the least?
Actually, I have been thinking about this a bit lately. I miss my sister; I never get to see her. I miss seeing loved ones that mean so much to me, and not just at funerals and weddings. Rebecca, we must be on the same wave length!
My mom told me the other day that my sister will not be attending Thanksgiving this year, and it made me really think about the past, and just how much I loved being close to my family and friends during the holidays; that is my favorite part of the season.
I remember the good ol' days when we would all sit around the Thanksgiving feast and laugh and talk....the whole day, not like now when we always hear, "I can only stay a minute." We would always have extended family at the feast, and I loved it! Now, on the other hand, we all go our seperate ways. Why? Why do we insist on being so busy we just cannot stop and be with loved ones? I know, we all have our own lives, but I want everybody I know and love "IN" my life. I don't know, maybe I am having a "moment," but I wish that we could go back to the days when things were not so darned complicated! I want to go back to the days when if I wanted to see a friend or family member...I didn't have to schedule an appointment a month in advance! I know....I am just as bad, but I miss the good ol' days.
There, I am done having my "moment." Shoot! I think I just missed another appointment! Ha. Love ya all! Have a great holiday season!

Well said! I guess we are on the same wavelength. Why isn't Amy spending Thanksgiving with you guys? It's not like she has better company to be with. I feel so bad for her with all those hoodlums living with them. Thanks for being a friend love ya!
