Reunions and families getting together is so magical!

But Grinch here is just plain jealous and saddened by the sappy loved-one’s reunions!
Sorry!
Nah, did I also mention how annoying those health oriented people walking/ jogging passed my home or with walkers, canes and side by side with an able bodied buddy and the other one in a Jazzy or what-have-you, those battery powered wheel chairs that I was nixed on since I have no insurance or Medicaid or Medicare!
Nope, I cannot do that due to my lack of automatic bodily heat adjustment ability and Hubby doesn’t need to or want to just walk around the blocks here like I used to do just a few short years ago…
Sure I have my cooling vest, but what’s the point to wander hither and yon in my scooter to what?
To be an annoying social neighborhood butterfly that is limited to her time out due to the quick melting in the outer world of her iced packs that cool her vest for only so long?
Yep, that’s me, Mrs. Scrooge and rude and crude, mean and no longer lean, an anger non management machine.
Someone actual told me that, “you get more with honey than vinegar”. Why I used to quote that quote when in the biz world! Since then the customer is always right or so we were taught, but now I am mostly the customer and most don’t do that anymore, have you noticed?

Oh why am I so jealous, because our only son we hear from is working for someone else who is married and has children tomorrow, and so I am very proud of him for doing it. But since most all of my family is dead and Hubby’s is all over the planet and also alienated and our other son who is not willing to make amends, he’s all we got!
I know we should just be happy that he is so generous and well; it does say something for how he was raised.
And there was a time even when our sons were not too busy but were helping others and lived farther away and Hubby, as a deputy, would work for other young families too so they could spend the holiday together and then I would go to the local Methodist church to help serve dinner to the indigent and elderly… and that was sooo rewarding, but I was capable then, not now. Reunions make me sad and I so wish for that too to be something we could have with so many, especially our younger son and now his new wife… and her family!
Pitiful Pearl once again, so sorry, but tis the season to re-evaluate what is right and what is wrong with your life… darn!
I do believe I do it day and night daily, not just now…at this time of the year…
We do have dinner for two planned, but gosh it is never the same as it was with all the family, friends, our loved ones, alive and here and caring and arguing and disagreeing, but always forgiving and loving once again!
What I think that I am trying to say to all of you all over this world of ours is that don’t take friends or family for granted for one day they are here for the next time in a flash they could be all gone!
Just cherish what you’ve got while you’ve got it and don’t let the little things in life cause you to make mountains out of molehills; just enjoy all those breathtaking moments that can leave when you least expect them too…smell the flowers and all those other clichés that when they’re gone you will too miss them as I and also have too many regrets if you don’t savor each second now, warts and all…
And I will be jealous forever because of what you have and we no longer do and sincerely miss…and cannot seem to get back no matter how hard we try…

Love entirely with your heart and soul and don’t be critical or harsh, be accepting even if something rubs you the wrong way or you too will be a lonely older person with this sad gal’s lament… FORGIVE is what I always have done but some do not do that no matter what…

Oh well, frustration is hard to deal with but you are all here and there and everywhere and you don’t let anything go awry; fix it quickly, and truly love those love ones… before they are gone…

Allow me to ask you all to count YOUR BLESSINGS and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?

Since I think of you all as my family too…
