I am a day late with saying this, but happy December to y\u2019all! Can you believe it is already December? Where has the year gone? It seems the older I get, the faster the years fly by. At this moment, which I know can change at any time, the weather has finally been colder. Mother Nature has a mind of her own and does not play by any specific rules. Last week, at the end of November, where I live, the temperatures were more like Spring weather. One thing I will always miss about living in the northern part of the country is the snow. For me, it will never feel like Christmas time without snow covering the ground. I miss having true four seasons, instead of only summer, spring, and autumn, but\u00a0missing out on\u00a0a real winter.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

This has been a brutal year, and it is not over yet, but hopefully, the last few weeks will be better than the rest of the year. For many people, as Christmas is coming, December is a joyful time of year. Unfortunately, many others find the Christmas season a sad time for\u00a0various reasons.\u00a0We may never know how others feel about the holiday season, but we must try to be even kinder, more understanding, and grateful for our lives, even when life is not what we had pictured. Of course, none of us can change any situation someone is enduring, but around the United States, people are struggling, and some are suffering in silence. Instead of feeling sorry for what we might be going through in life, we must believe that everything will work out in time and try to convey that belief to others who are struggling.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

What do you like most about\u00a0December? Do you enjoy the Christmas festivities? I was not going to put out our Christmas decorations this year, but I finally managed to put the outside decorations out yesterday. Unfortunately, Christmas often makes me sad because there are too many loved ones who will not be with us because they have passed away. I miss my late grandfather daily, but missing the chance to talk with him on Christmas Day is difficult. Another Christmas when I am unemployed and cannot buy gifts for loved ones makes me feel extremely upset. I know Christmas is not about the gifts you can buy, but I want to be able to do something special for my loved ones. It does not seem to matter how hard I try to find a job; nothing is working out for me\"🙁\". Of course, I know that with the holidays so close, companies might not be too quick to hire. I just keep reminding myself that someday, one I am not aware of, the right job will\u00a0appear\u00a0for me, and I will be back to normal again!<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n
