Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas from your Queen of Random - Lisa
Good afternoon everyone, I hope that everyone is having a great Christmas Eve!
This year has definitely been a roller coaster ride, yet I am still here and very thankful for everything and everyone that I have in my life.
This time of the year is hard…its hard for those that have military spouses and other loved ones gone in other countries, its hard for those that have loved ones that are sick and, in the hospital, etc. It’s hard on a lot of us for a variety of reasons. Yet we still make the choice to get up and keep moving forward every day.
And yes, I will admit that this year has been hellish to say the least! It’s been the hardest year of my life. Losing a best friend of 30 years at the beginning of the year (end of Feb) and then losing a child who was a young adult 22 at the end of the year (Oct 10th) really does a number on you. There were times and days that I just sat in bed and was quiet didn’t want to do anything or sat there and cried…I think that sometimes we need to just let it out and do what’s good for us and not always put on the pretty face/smile and act like we are okay b/c I damn sure have not been okay this year!
However, I feel, and I deal with things in my own way, I know that there are others out there going through the same things that I have or are going through them or will. And I know that some have it way worse off than I do. And I pray daily that those that are worse off that things get better for them.
I’m not a hugely religious person that goes to church every Sunday etc. But I do have faith, I do believe in God, I do pray in my own ways and I do know that there are angels above watching over us. It doesn’t matter what faith you are Christian etc. or how you choose to celebrate that religion by going to church or staying at home etc. Everyone has their own way of doing things and I respect that. Everyone has a comfortable way of showing their faith. For me, I went to church with my uncle back in the days but as an adult took my kids a few times. I never felt that comfortable there and I left it up to each of my kids to make the decision if they wanted to go or not. I never pushed it on them and won’t ever. If they choose to believe that’s up to them.
There are so many people out there alone this holiday season that my heart breaks for them. I wish that I was in a situation to help more and I would all over the country if I could.
So, with all that being said…wishing everyone where ever you are, a Happy Holiday/Merry Christmas!
Enjoy the little things and the time that you spend with your family and friends!!
Love always from your Queen of Random - Lisa
