Just thinking today I have heard about several things today. One is that today is a day of remembering a great man and that he was. The things Dr. King did for the world are very important and need to be thought of daily and well for today we will celebrate his day. On the sad point I also heard that January 17 is considered the most depressing day of the year. Maybe that is for several reasons one may be that it is a day to remember and it is sad to think of all the people we have lost in our lives and how they impacted us in our growth as human beings. I have lost so many in my life and think of them all often. However, it is good sometimes to take a day like today and not only remember them but to celebrate their contribution to our lives. So let's turn this day into a celebration of the soul. Thinking of all those who have since passed on but left us with something remarkable a memory. Another memory today was that I was reminded that my Great Grandmother would have been 120 today so I spent some time thinking about all that has happened since she was born up until now. I did not know her but through my mother, Uncle and others I feel she made an impact on not only those I love but myself as well.
Okay so Joe's thoughts today are all about the past and about the people who are no longer around. But, I choose not to wallow in self pity for losing so many but to celebrate their lives and thank all of them for being apart of my life.
I also want to celebrate the people who are currently in my life and thank them for touching me in many ways that makes my life better.
Joe
