Just Do It

I'm not sure where this will go. 
I've noticed that I've been thankful
for the things I have done. 

When I think about things that won't happen this year

I'm just so thankful that I've chosen to DO things

in the past.

I'm wondering if our town will

 do it's lighted Christmas parade.

I'll miss it if they don't

but I'm so happy we've braved the cold and done 

it many years.

We did an overnight in Chicago with our

kids and their families one year. 

We did Kris Kringle Market,

dinner 

and zoo lights.

Look at all those people 

PACKED in! 

This was before we even knew what

"social distancing" was.

Lory and I did Christmas in Disney last year,

well, not *actual* Christmas,

but Disney's Christmas celebration.

We saw fireworks every night, my favorite.

Disney is open on a limited basis but no fireworks yet.

Our gang of girls did Chicago last year.

We managed to find a day and just DO it.

No nasty warm wine in boot mugs this year.

I guess, where I am going is, 

I could get sad about what 

WON'T

be happening this year, 

or I could be so 

THANKFUL

for the wonderful times I've shared with people I love.

Another thankful moment, 

I'm thankful for the time spent,

not *things*.

Hmmm.....
