Every year,
right about this time, the same cry is heard from all quarters…
It
doesn’t make any difference whether one wishes to hear it, or partake of the
overall noise and cacophony. It will come. Like the proverbial fly of the
locust, the noise keeps on getting louder and louder, after the dishes are put
away following the Thanksgiving dinner… It is a noise that often becomes
deafening, a headache producing, collective cry and yell which, at times could
actually make one dizzy; very repetitious also.
Most
people don’t realize just how annoying it can be to have a total stranger come
up to you, smile a broad, teeth baring smile and, while pumping your hand with
enough force to bring water out of a barren well, say it not once, but over and
again. ARRGHH!! How long will it take for an otherwise normal, quiet individual
to put aside these lunatic like ravings and uncontrollable urges, and resume a
normal life.

“…
Oh My!!” … “I think I was asleep, dreaming about that old Mr. Scrooge again…” “Sometimes, when these dreams come on, I sort
of talk … even write in my sleep … not very nice things either…"
Oh
well, it’s getting on that very special time of the year, when we commemorate
the birth of Jesus but, more than this, we commemorate the birth of hope and of
the fact that we, as His children (no matter how we call The Father, in our
different religions) will always be welcome into His arms, for His Son gave us
that choice.
This
will be the last post for this week since I, like millions of others this day, will be getting on the road but, fear not, my trusty computer goes with me
and I should be able to come back and torment you early next week…
Whether
you truly have and share the joy of Christmas, or call the joy of the love of Our Father by
another name… I hope this is a happy and fulfilling occasion for you and yours; that your
family remains always together at heart, knowing that this is the true core and
reason of our lives here.
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!
Be
Well … Be Back!!!
