Crap I think about
- It was pert near 70 here yesterday. "Pert near" means almost for my family in the south.
- In other words, I wonder if I will ever stop sweating.
- I'm still online shopping,even though I don’t need anything.
- I really need to have my hair trimmed and shaped up.
- I am ready for Christmas.
- I am also ready for March.
- What are some good movies on Netflix? I need something exciting to watch.
- Yay, Downton Abbey will be back next month, it will also be it’s last season. How did that happen?

Unappreciative People
Webster’s Dictionary defines “Ingratitude” as: “Forgetfulness of, or poor return for, kindness received.” It can also be defined as not appreciating or valuing what you have, or have been given. Unexpressed gratitude is also ingratitude!
It is a shame that most people seem to not have time for thankfulness. Work, traffic, family, soccer practice, doctor appointments, and countless other things are their main priorities. They seem to have no time to thank others.
But consider the following. Have you ever given someone a gift and not received thanks for it? Have you ever been in a grocery store or restaurant and were not thanked for your business? Have you ever felt unappreciated by family or friends? If so, how did it make you feel? Probably not very good.
A simple Thank You, a quick text or phone call is all it takes. When someone takes time to remember you on your Birthday with a gift (no matter how small) just remember that they took time out of their busy life to remember you on your special day or event. So take time to let them know it arrived and that you appreciate being remembered.. .

1. What is your favorite holiday?
Christmas I hope it snows.
2. Do you send Christmas cards?
I do. It's a time to connect with people that I don't hear from during the rest of the year. I send out about 60.
3. What has been your favorite Christmas gift to date?
That's hard to say. I've gotten so many wonderful gifts over the years. I think my favorite has to be the Mother;s ring my kids gave me. 2 blues stones and 1 topaz stone in a gold setting. I put it on and have not taken it off.
4. Do you have a favorite cold weather drink?
Just regular black tea.
5. Do you do charity work during the holidays?
I do. Doesn’t everyone
