Rain
Well, I suppose things are at a standstill here. It's raining and very dreary in this little bubble of mine. Evan though I feel a slight attraction to rain and dreariness, it's still for the most part depressing. But I don't let it get me down. It's just part of life and inevitable. I was thinking about how theres a spirit that lingers in the people from the northern part of the country. When it snows we brave it, life goes on, and the bitter cold becomes a part of us. It hardens us. So when the wind whistles loudly and the snow falls heavily think of that observation. Of course people from Alaska probably look at us like we're wimps but we still have something over the sunny south.
I've been realizing more and more lately that to live a life of contribution in some shape or form is what I desire. It's easy to just plug along feeling depressed about things and thinking of your own discomfort and you become selfish in a sense without even realizing in it. I wish some people I used to count as good friends would realize they might be walking this line. Contribution to wards others is a rewarding thing. You don't receive a reward in the form of money or something you can touch but it's just rewarding to make others feel good, to be a part of something, or to build something. That's what I feel when I'm with my friends in the 3rd N.J. When we built our soldiers cabin this past weekend complete with hearth and chimney and did it as a team it felt good. We enjoyed it so much and I like being part of the unit. It is something that goes beyond just reenacting. We're there for each other. Ok,well now that that's out I feel better. :)
Things have been good with Christin and I. We spar a little once in a while but we still love each other in the end. She's my girl. :)I love my girl. I am disappointed about one thing mostly. I haven't seen "A Christmas Story," on television lately. Then again I hardly watch TV but still. I love hearing "Ok Ralphie you win this time...but we'll be back!"
