This evening was wonderful! Work did our Christmas shin-dig. We went to dinner and Fiamma's. I took one look at the menu and my heart stood still. I have never eaten at such a fancy place. First off I really had no clue what the majority of the food was then I noticed the prices. EEEEEKKKKKK! I had a steak and potato and it was $32. All I could think of was how many days I could feed myself on that amount of money. After dinner we attended a Christmas program at Northridge Church. When the Pastor spoke he called it a Christmas concert. Um ok so I beg to differ. I felt as if I were at the fox watching a show. It was amazing. The entire show was all volunteers from the 3,000 plus congregation. I was amazed by the unbelievable talent. It was a very enlightening experience.
My co-worker Joe's mother passed away on Friday. I am so deeply sad for him. He is only 20 and has lost his mom. Tomorrow is her funeral. I will be attending the funeral and am not really knowing what to expect. I know his father but have never met his mother. I have never had a first meeting with someone whom has passed lying in a coffin. I am not good with death. It is so difficult for me to except the reason that people pass on. Especially at such a young age. I guess I am just really in question still of my faith. I have always felt that we have been put on this Earth to serve a purpose and once we have succeeded that higher being takes us away to live beautifully in his or her prescence. Although I have this belief I just can't seem to grasp why I have such a difficult time dealing with passing of individuals. I will pray tonight for Joe and will continue to pray many nights to come. I pray for him to have strength and to reconnect with his extended family that he has lost closeness with. I hope that his higher being will be there to guide him and his mother will always be in his shadow looking over and helping him in the important moments of his life.
