Thanksgiving is a time

To think up crazy rhymes

To eat a lot of food

And make jokes that are really crude

My mom, she doesn't like

Riding on a trike

My dad, he's really tall

So high up, it's a pretty big fall

That sounded dumb

Let's have another shot of rum

The words are running out

Let's all scream and shout

For thanksgiving, family and booze

I may never find my shoes

This thanksgiving may not be

Furthering the family tree

But I think I'll enjoy it anyway

And that's not just somethin' I say

I really will

It will give me a thrill

And a darn good excuse

to something, something goose!

 

Life Lesson #27584

Some people never go away.

That is becoming an established fact in my life. It's a life lesson that I am coming to accept. There are things that will never change, no matter how many years pass or how many people come and go. Looking back, I can't believe how much my life has changed from five and ten years ago. And yet, there are times when faces of my past appear in my present. They never stay, but they momentarily steal my attention and throw me back in time. It's a wild thought to realize how much has changed in five years and then to realize how much more can change in the next five years. There are things that I am amazingly thankful for and things that I'm incredibly saddened by. It's a barrage of emotions that forces me to realize that God will continue to rescue me from all that is harmful and send me through even more that feels painful.

In January I will be 26; officially on the downhill to 30. I still feel 15. Does that feeling ever go away? I have a feeling it does not. I have never really freaked out about getting older; but I'm kind of starting to now. How quickly time goes by and how fast life can pass you by if you are not careful.
