Food For Thought On Turkey Day

I'm gonna stray a bit from the typical Thanksgiving theme you would probably expect around this time of year. Yeah, I do have a lot to be thankful for, but you don't want to hear the whole list, now do you? Exactly.

I've had a lot running through my head for this past little bit, and a part of that was included in.... "The Music of the Night"? I think? I've been thinking about life, where I am in mine, and the role that certain others play in it. That and the Joe Namath Medicare commercial that airs constantly on TV at work. It's rough.

I haven't written for a while. A contributing factor is my lack of social media. It was a difficult move I had to make, but I would highly recommend. Not just a temporary app-delete. An account delete. Make it hard or difficult to go back to it. It frees up a lot of your time. And time is such a valuable thing. Now to cut back on gaming lol. Wish me luck.

With this time that I now had on my hands, I did a lot. I rearranged my room. I decorated, very lightly, for Christmas, I got back into reading, I put in some time on the electric guitar, and worked.

Anyway, I wanted time to work on myself. Mostly for myself, partly because of others. Social media is a doorway to all sorts of different temptations and distractions that I couldn't afford to have in my life at the time.

I'm not sure if there'll be a point to this, or if it'll just be me venting, so strap in. Might be a sec before you get anything all that meaningful out of it.

Oh, fun fact, I made sure to snap a few of my friends goodbye before deleting my Snap, and a lot of them replied, which made my heart very full, so thank you. It was the encouragement I needed. Full disclosure, because I think it's safe to say this as long as I don't mention names *fingers crossed*, I had somebody in particular snap back, and let me tell you man, I almost backed out of my deal. I had to set my phone down and come back a minute or two later. That's as far as we're going into that though. If you care to hear more, I still have Messenger.

Thanksgiving this year is so weird. In every way. We're not supposed to gather together currently, and also it seems as though there is very little to be thankful for. Am I right?

Like, aside from friends and family, which is a given, what can you think of? The political climate? Yeah right. The state of the environment? Try again. Corona going away? Try a second wave on for size why don't you... Job stability? Hanging on by a thread.

Life is rough right now, whether we like it or not. There's not a lot that we can do about a lot of it. In moments like these, you have three things to rely on. You've probably seen them hanging up in every Christian middle aged white moms kitchen. Family, friends, and faith. Those are our go-to's now. I guess this post has just been a reminder of sorts for you. A lot of people just try to juggle everything themselves instead of going to any one of those three for advice, or a confidant, or whatever else.

That's all I've got for right now.

I can't share on social media anymore, so if you guys would be so kind as to advertise the fact that I have a post up, that would be fantastic.

Also, I definitely lost a lot of responses regarding merch, cause I didn't really think about that when I deleted everything. So just hit me up again to make sure.

Have a good night, and have a fan-frickin-tastic Turkey Day.
