okay so over the break it was thanksgiving. where family and friends get together and have a huge feast. lots of different varities and choices you could have. its an excuse to pile your plate mountain high with fat and grease and food of all sorts and be a pig without being judged. this holiday is to gather family to be thankful of what the have and who they have in they family and life. but you shouldnt have to eat a huge meal to be thogether. thanksgiving is family time.

this holiday is anti-body. at this holiday, you have huge portions of food and desert and able to go back for seconds and maybe thirds. then when you are finished eatin, you might tend to unbutton your pants because your belly then needs space to expand and room to breath because you fed it delicious food. you dont sit and worry about how many calories your putting into your body, or paying attention to how much you eat. its the joy of being with each other and feeling happy. with this holiday the food is what makes everybody happy.

i know at my house on thursday we spent the whole day cooking. besides the turkey, had about 6 additional sides to choose from to eat. at the end of the day we didnt care who ate what or how much. this holiday being anti-body is something that is good to a lot of people. for those who dont worry aboput gaining weight or trying to look good for the world. by the end of the night everybody was laying down watching the football game and relaxing. nobody wanted to move or go anywhere.

of course we have all experienced at least someone who has died or became ill. with me, i have experienced both several times. i have had close people to me (like family members) who have passed away or became very ill. sometime both as well. for example my mother. my mother 4 years ago had breast cancer and ended up being a survivor. another example would be my uncle who had passed away about a year ago. he was sick with diabetes and soon died because of complications. right now i know people who are fighting off diseases and trying to stay alive.

we are all taught differently to deal with different situations. in some families when someone dies, the have funerals and morn for the loved one that dies. some people just act like it doesnt mean something to them and act "cold hearted" against it. it could sometimes mean that its a good sign that it was your time to go and that god needs you up there with him, or it was a bad thing and that you did something bad to deserve it.

i think of it as the circle of life. that its just your time, good or bad and your life on earth is over. but when someone dies, someone else is born and thats how life works.
