Hi everyone. Wow, everything’s a blur to me right now. All I can remember is how cold I am RIGHT NOW. Halloween? Thanksgiving? Christmas? New Year’s? I literally just skipped over Christmas, and typed New Year’s instead.
Listen, I’m 38 years old. I don’t celebrate Halloween. I’m too old to dress up. Too old to go trick or treating. I don’t eat sugary candy. I’m vegan, so don’t have milk chocolate or caramel. LOL
On to the next holiday. Thanksgiving? hmmm…I don’t eat any meat (that used to breathe) or anything that comes from it. Next holiday…Christmas~ too old for getting presents…New Year’s? same answer, TOO OLD.
Man, I feel TOO OLD now with saying it so much lol. Why do we need a holiday anyways to celebrate L-I-F-E? Once a year we celebrate our birthday, shouldn’t we be grateful to be alive every day? Not to be a kill joy, or better yet, to be a kill joy, in my opinion (since we’re all entitled to one) material gifts are over rated.
Life is a gift wouldn’t you say? We’re all racing against the clock. A song that a young girl wrote, mentioned how the clock is ticking, and the crocodile from Peter Pan is coming for you. Money can’t buy time. It can’t buy back our youth again.

That’s a new perspective I have now from what I went through having the two strokes where I almost died a couple of times. Life should be celebrated every single moment. It’s quality time with a loved one that is priceless. That’s what I want to enjoy. TIME with my loved ones, because we don’t get a second life with them.
This world that we live in right now is so advanced in technology. Everyone’s on their phone texting, on the internet, on the phone with someone. What about the person next to you? We’re so detached from human in-person contact because we’re so advanced in technology to connect with people through waves? Through phones? Through tablets? Through SOCIAL MEDIA?
I just want to SLOW DOWN. I would love for everyone to SLOW DOWN. Because before you know it, LIFE will be just another gone with the wind holiday, that’s come and past. What ever happened to actually writing a letter, a love letter, and mailing it or hand delivering it? What ever happened to having dinner with our family at all or dinner with them or a loved one WITHOUT a smart phone out, glued to their face? I’m positive usually but I just have to get this off my chest.
People WAKE UP before your life is almost over, and instead of being grateful of all our life accomplishments and what we’ve passed on down to our children or loved ones, INSTEAD, we have a whole bunch of REGRETS. Oh I wish I went out to eat with my father and he actually told me about his childhood growing up in Italy. Instead he wants to talk about MONEY, respect from having people fear him, and his possessions. How about lets keep it simple: what’s my favorite color? my favorite food? Cook with me. Sit down and talk to me.
I already have a whole bunch of regrets. Not because I haven’t tried, but because my loved ones refuse to try. And I’m done wasting my energy trying to convince them. What’s the saying? Pick Your Battles? I’m not a fighter, I’m a lover. And life is way too friggin’ short to waste time and energy on a Losing Battle. I’m gonna keep on walking and sit down and talk with a loved one that values time talking with me. Because in the end, we can’t make anyone happy but ourselves. It’s like a see saw, if everyone else is happy, we’re UNHAPPY. I prefer vice versa, because I don’t want to have anymore regrets. I choose to be grateful.
I love you all and value you all. Have a great day.
