It is about 5:00 am and I have been up since 4:00.I went out onto the front porch just to see if maybe being in a new decade might make something look different. It was cold, clear. stars still shining, Christmas lights still twinkling. They need to come down. But all still looked the same. 2010, a awesome word. Back when I was a kid in the forties you say 2010 it sounded so futuristic. Your mind could bring up all kinds of pictures. Now here we are, the age of computers cell phones and so many new electronics gadgets I have been left behind long ago. But with all the changes, all the modern technology things still seem basically the same. We the human race trying daily to get through each day. Some of us better than others. But still trying.
I have not been sure I would make a New Years resolution list. Of course like most other people it does little good. I go gun ho for about a week, if that long than it sort of falls by the wayside. I am always saying no more sweets, I will be a quieter person, not talk so much. Of course good luck on that one. But after a few hours of being quiet I forget and am singing and carrying on again.
So maybe this year I will just work on being peaceful and content Content within myself. Have you ever noticed how we spend half our life's trying to fit ourselves into somebody Else's idea of who we should be. Then the other half trying to do that very thing to someone else. Make them who we think they should be. Just maybe God knew what he was doing when he created us. Made us a diverse bunch. So if you are a bouncy trounce person, that's okay. If you talk to much thats okay too. But on the other hand if you are quiet, serious, a deep thinker and smile not too often. Then that's okay. Some people reach that happy medium of being both ways. I am not one of those people. Many aren't. But if we all could just learn acceptance of others. Just seeing everyone as a fellow human being, just trying to get by in this life. Wouldn't be a wonderful world.So if I have any New Years resolutions that will be it. Learn acceptance, tolerance of others and myself. A big bill to fill, but in my little world this year I truly am going to try.
One last thing on this rambling of this crazy older lady. If you by some slim chance read this, Please just whisper the name Kenya. A young girl who fought a long brave fight against leukemia and lost the battle.She was brave and sweet and had a beautiful smile. I look at my long life and wonder why some of us are blessed with many years and others with so few. Say a little prayer for Kenya, though I believe as I write she is in a beautiful place, surround by people that loved her. her family are the ones who need our prayers, for they are faced with a terrible task, giving up your child. So please my friends remember them For we are our brothers keeper.
