TO THE EDITOR,

Well, the Thanksgiving holiday is in the rearview mirror and it is on to Christmas now. I had an enjoyable Turkey Day surrounded by many family members at two houses. First my daughter's and then at one of my nieces house. Plenty to eat at both places. Once again, I got my annual slice of Sweet Potato Pie. To me, the best kind of pie in the world.

So, now as we quickly move through the end of another year heading toward 2026. Is it just me or do the years move by quicker than ever the older we get? I have never lived for the moment. I am too old to think about that idea. Someone once told me decades ago, "When you live for the moment, you're like a fish and you can't connect all your moments together into a life." How true.

Can I tell you something about life? Sometimes it might $@&# but there are also so many great times too. It is all about how you choose to live it. I check the newspaper horoscopes everyday ,not because I believe this stuff but the advice I find sometimes makes great sense. Today's horoscope for me read: "Doing carries more weight than saying. You might not be able to articulate what you're experiencing, learning and feeling right now, but that's OK because what really speaks is the action you take. Action is the difference in the world."
