Happy Holidays

Standard

Most of the time my Christmas letter is about the things I did this year and basically, to put it in a nutshell I hate my thoughts and from what I gather you do to. I apologize for most of them, some weren’t bad. I mean heck writing a note of apology can’t be that horrible of a thought and action. Thinking about the rights of all people is a good thing too. The thing is and always has been any horrible thought I have is recognized and extinguished by myself immediately afterward. I am harder on myself than most people think. So when the bad thoughts occur and are classified as horrible I think of how I can bring good thoughts through healthy interactions. Furthermore, I am writing this letter as a way to remember not only the good but maybe bring a smile to faces of those I know.

The closest thing to what my Christmas looks like now is this photo but that doesn’t mean my Christmas’s weren’t filled with smiles.

This is what Christmas was like in my house, in fact that lower left photo could have been taken any day throughout my childhood. Growing up my stereo, tv, train set and board games and maybe sometimes Atari (more watching than playing) was how I spent my day.

Christmas is all about family and being excited for others good fortune of the love received. We stand or sit around together and watch

people exude thank you for your gift of love and then we eat until our stomachs weigh us down or put us in a slumber and then we eat some more.

So my friends and family think about the miracles of Christmas that were given by love and you will see the complete look of wonderment fullfilled as I did looking at Santa during my first Christmas.

Thank you all for a very Merry Christmas today and years ago.

Take care and much love,

Yours always Jennie

On every needle

Spews freshness

Of pine or for

That most relish

Embellishments galore

Bright or subtle

With a soft glow

Of light sprinkled

In between

Give ambience

To a season

Every year

Strength In Feet

Standard

The base

Supports

Individual weight

Rocking back and forth

Provides movement

While curved arches

Give beauty

To a finish line

Of the body

Ten little toes

Wiggle for balance

For twist and turns

Of daily needs

Only occur

When you put

One foot

In front of the other

Even though

Strong and sturdy

We still need shoes

To protect those ugly things

Because most of the time

Streets are even more gross

Don’t ya think?

Stop the Mistake

Standard

When making a promise to support someone always, it doesn’t mean you say yeah go for it when they are making the stupidest mistake ever. It means I am here for you but you realize if you do that you might not like the result. For example, you tell a friend they don’t look fabulous if they have something stuck in their teeth or you say the neighborhood ain’t going to support you if you paint a mural of the movie character Carrie all bloodied up on your car. There are just sometimes you have to say “I don’t think this is a good idea.” You have to speak up and prevent people from danger. Why do you think we have stop signs and orange barriers, to give people, humans warnings even if we don’t know who they are. We do this not only is it a law but also because it is morally correct. So speak up, the next time someone is making a mistake as long as your are not judgmental and they will thank you for it.

I Met You

Standard

Every relationship is important

Losing one is never easy

For they were bonded

With you

For some reason or another

Those bonds have remenants

Making our hearts

Strong when trust occurs

Wise through learning

And excited through shared experiences

So when you finally do meet someone

Know it is important

And should never be taken for granted
