HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND OTHER THOUGHTS FROM MY HEART, C.K.
Posted: Thu Nov 24, 2011 1:30 pmOver the years of Switzerland--good, bad, but never indifferent as far as I am concerned, I have enjoyed visiting everyone. We've shared so many stories, personal, political, football for the most part--at least it was supposed to be that way--and I've loved and laughed, hated (not for long) and pouted, smiled (a lot) and always always had fun.
Not a day goes by that I don't come over and see who has come by to visit. Peace stays ready to deal with any crises should they arise (oh how I wish someone would sneeze too many times, something--anything?), but alas, it's been damn well near dead for the past several months.
I'll bet you think I'm going to yell "UNCLE" now, don't you (if anyone is there thinking anything at all). Well, hell, no! This southern woman is not bowing out. "Never say die," was my mama and daddy's motto (both are gone now, but I'm still carrying the banner). This 'hood is staying open. Fauxs and facebooks can come and go, but so long as my dollars hold up, I'm keeping Switzerland alive.
To Emeritus, dred, Try and The Lady, who with the exception of Emeritus come around less and less frequently--although I know Try is socked in with business (all work and no play makes Try a dull guy--I'm just sayin', Try
--I thankful for your visits, regardless of when or how many. I love to see you whenever and wherever. Oh, and a special thanks to monec, who stopped by just the other day--it was a sight for my very sore eyes, and I hope you'll visit more often. I know it's happy times for you, as your Pats are pretty much a given (yawn) for the division (again) .
To others who may still hoover, but choose not to say anything, thank you for caring, and any time you want to say hello, will be a very happy day for me.
For those of you who don't know, DEMONS will be released in the next few months by a new publisher, updated and with some changes, and the sequel has been taken by this publisher, so I do have a purpose to finish it and at last, I am working on it as well. I have that to be thankful for this Thanksgiving..
And now for my special Thanksgiving poem to all my Swiss Family--from the very beginning, to the good guys and gals, and the bad, to the troublemakers and peacemakers, to the haters and lovers, to those who made me laugh and those who made me cry:
ONE TIME A YEAR IS JUST FOR THANKS,
NO TEARS, NO WHINES, NO SMACKS, NO SPANKS.
NO PAIN, NO CRITICS, NO HUNGER, NO HURT
EVERYONE WEARS TO DINNER A SHIRT.
EVEN TO THOSE WHO WE MIGHT BE MAD
WE HOPE THAT ON THIS DAY THEY ARE GLAD
WE WISH NO ILL, NO HARM, NOT ONE THING UNKIND
THE TIES OF LOVE ARE ALL THAT MIGHT BIND.
FROM ME TO YOU ON THIS SPECIAL DAY
FROM MY HOUSE TO YOURS, MAY I FIND THE WAY
TO LET YOU ALL KNOW HOW DEAR YOU ARE TO ME
AND HOW MUCH I HOPE I WILL AGAIN HERE YOU SEE...
MY LOVE TO YOU ALL!
