It was a very low-key day. Holidays mostly make me sad. I miss my family, and holidays are for family. So I dozed with the cats and kind of ignored it. I used to love holidays. Not so much anymore. But I watched some of the fireworks from the front walk.
Well, I think that your feeling of nostalgia is shared by a lot of people: nobody can't escape from the changes the time makes on us and all around our environment and people we love, anyone of us with our own loses and personal experiences :S *hugs*
Oh, I know my feelings are far from unique. Having never married, never having kids, it's just me. Extended family get-togethers really don't exist anymore as the people are mostly gone. There are two elderly aunts, one cousin and her teenage daughter, and me. It isn't fun. Wow--this sounds like a self-pity party, and that wasn't my intent. Anyway, "regular" days are fine. Family holidays, not so much.
Eh, it's just what life is right now. It won't always be like this (I hope!). It's just a bit difficult right now. I should have dragged myself out of the house yesterday, but a quiet day at home held some appeal. I'm just rather tired of feeling like a fifth wheel. My life wasn't always like this--I know that it can be different. This is temporary.
