Have you ever went to a store KNOWING that YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING?

     It's HARD to go to the store with your friends or family when you KNOW IF YOU GO then YOU WILL SPEND MONEY on things you DON'T NEED.

     The OLDER I GET the MORE I REALIZE that I ALREADY HAVE MORE things than I NEED after COLLECTING FOR DECADES.

      BUT when I GO SHOPPING I BUY STUFF DESPITE KNOWING that I DON'T NEED ANYMORE STUFF to FILL MY HOME.

      My OLDER Grandkids just want MONEY for CHRISTMAS so I thought I only have TWO YOUNGER Grandsons to BUY FOR so that will MAKE me SHOP LESS.

     BUT ...NOPE..... I just BOUGHT BOTH OF THEM MORE than I NEEDED.

      And AT FIRST I THOUGHT I SHOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT so MUCH then.... I REALIZED HOW MUCH EXCITEMENT I HAD SHOPPING.

     I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE SMILES ON THEIR FACES WHEN THEY OPEN THEM.

    TODAY I wrapped all of the CHRISTMAS GIFTS and I TOPPED THEM ALL WITH A BOW.....so NOW HOPEFULLY I DON'T GO SHOPPING ANYMORE THIS YEAR.

     

Seems like just a few MONTHS have gone by yet it's DECEMBER ALREADY

     It DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A YEAR has GONE BY .... YET IT has been almost a YEAR AGO that we were making our CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY PLANS.

    And at the END OF THIS MONTH we have to make a PLAN for OUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS to make 2026 OUR BEST YEAR EVER.

    And the OLDER I GET the MORE IMPORTANT I ENJOY EVERY MOMENT that I CAN because I SEE HOW FAST TIMES ARE PASSING BY.

     EVERYDAY is a CHANCE to ENJOY EVERY MINUTE for the next TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. 

    EVERYDAY is ANOTHER TWENTY-FOUR HOURS for YOU TO ENJOY but WILL YOU CHOOSE TO ENJOY IT?

     

Since YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT then.....

     Worrying about it OVER AND OVER again DOESN'T CHANGE WHAT HAPPENED because it HAPPENED.

     Worrying about it JUST makes YOU FEEL IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

     ACCEPTING IT is NECESSARY so YOU WON'T REPEAT IT then.... JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind and NEVER DO IT AGAIN.

     It's HARD TO ADMIT YOUR MISTAKES but if YOU DON'T ACCEPT YOUR MISTAKES then YOU WON'T EVER LEARN FROM THEM. 

    REMEMBER the saying that INSANITY is DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN and yet YOU EXPECT A DIFFERENT RESULTS.

     But if YOU DON'T DO IT DIFFERENTLY then it WILL NEVER CHANGE and NOTHING WILL BE DIFFERENT.

     WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES because WE ARE HUMAN but whether YOU LEARN from it or NOT is UP TO YOU.

     If YOU WANT A FRESH START then.... ACCEPT IT and then DO IT DIFFERENTLY AND GET A FRESH START.
