Phew!
Finally, Christmas is over for another year.
I am so relieved.
I'll be honest with you folks, I really don't like Christmas.
Sure, I like the pretty colors and some of the Christmas songs but so much I don't like, especially the forced "Peace on Earth" thing. We'll never have peace on earth. Always a battle between good and evil, good generally winning out but then the battle resumes.
The only thing that gives me hope is that I know there are good people in this world. People that care for other people, don't cheat and steal from them. Are kind to children and animals. There are a lot of those people. Then there are the Others. I won't go into that now other than to say that our country (America) is going through the most difficult time in our almost two hundred years history with the evil forces in charge of our government. Good will outlast this evil but not before a lot more damage is done. But this is life folks, one big learning exercise.
I just hope before I pass on from this earthy existence I live long enough to see these people who haves betrayed America held accountable for their traitorous and lawless actions. And the cowards who let this happen. They are beneath contempt.
But enough of going down this negative road. We have another week of going through a retrospective of the last year (which I dread and hate each year when they do these retrospectives).
Then we're off to a new year.
I have a feeling this is my last Christmas, for which I am thankful. This Christmas was probably the worst for me in my eighty-four years. I got so depressed that all I wanted to do was sleep. I know this isn't what some people want to hear but it's the fact here at Casa Tipton-Kelly.
Both of my neighbors on either side of me were gone. Even though we all basically keep to ourselves I did miss their activity. I treasure my quiet around here but it was really quiet this Christmas. Not even a church mouse........
Next blog post, more upbeat. I'm working on it. But you know me, I let flow what I'm thinking and right now I'm thinking I'm very glad this Christmas season is gone.

Okay my good friend Victor let's address this "life" thing.
I just came in from getting my mail and checking both of my neighbors. For the first time in a long time I fell. Thank goodness I didn't do any damage (I think). I did a major face plant but just on the grass. I don't know what caused me to fall other than I wasn't lifting my feet high enough. I was walking quite well with my cane. The last time I fell like that I dislocated my left knee, then when I took up and put all my weight on my leg, I tore my leg leg quadriceps muscle and was out of commission for three months. Thank goodness I had Bill here to help me through that rehab period so I didn't have to go into a facility. Right now my nose is very sore but I don't think I broke anything.
All the points you brought up are correct. I do live independently in my own home which I appreciate. I will never take that for granted. I'm in basically good health and can see, hear, talk and eat right. I do appreciate living independently and I want to keep it that way. Please, please do not advise me to VOLUNTEER. I have plenty of things to do here at my home. I know volunteering works for others, that's fantastic but not for me. I value my independence too much. I do the next best thing of volunteering in that I get to mingle with people at the thrift store, local food supermarket, and plant store. They all know me and that is enough interaction for me. I also interact with my neighbors. I am very lucky that I have neighbors who do not hate me (like previous neighbors I've had). I'm dong just fine. I miss Bill. I appreciate Pat but he has his life and I have mine and it will. probably stay that way for the rest of our lives. Probably best for both of us. I live each day as if it is my last. I am not afraid of death. I am ready but I'm not going to do anything stupid. But I am ready. No fear here Vic.
Thank you for. your concern.
