After Thanksgiving Sail

It's the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday. I should be out shopping and blowing all my hard earned money, but I'm not. I'm sitting here thinking about all the things that have happened in 2010, waiting on 2011 to begin. It has been over a year since I have "tried to blog". I knew when I started this I would not be consistent with it. I don't have much to blog about in my life, or maybe I can't put all my thoughts and actions into blog form. Yes, that's it, or at least it sounds better that way! :) Maybe I should make my New Year's resolution be getting a bloggable life. Ha.

It's funny how over time, your family members begin to drift away. The only times I really get to see all my family at once is Thanksgiving and Christmas, it saddens me. While my uncle was saying the blessing before we ate he started to tear up, talking about how we had so much to be thankful for, a great family. He started speaking of how we never got together and visited each other, which is true. With the hustle and bustle of every one's lives it's so hard to get together like we used too. Is it just me, or does time fly by so much faster the older we get? Or is it that when we are small time just seems to drag because we are so small? OR the bigger we get the smaller time gets? Which-ever way, I don't like my clock as it ages. I wish time could just pause and I could go back in time and re-live the best times of my life, but that ain't happening (Ain't is a southern word too) in this life anyway. I hope my next life will be full of family and all my friends and there are no clock, not certain times we have to be places. I just wanna run through a field of memories and make more along the way without being set on a timer. I am thankful for the time I have had to spend with my family and all my friends, and even those whom have come and gone from my life. I hope I have many more hours to create fond memories to take with me when I leave. I'm not trying to be morbid in any way, I promise. I just know our hours are counted and we never know when we will take our last breathe. Thus, being the flaws of life. My heart goes out to those who have lost special people this year. I am thankful to have not lost a relative this year, but I mourn for those who have. I can't imagine celebrating a holiday without everyone who is currently tangled in my life presently. That day is coming, so I need to enjoy them now while they are still here. Let's get started :)

All of us Ayersholes (joke) couldn't figure out how to set the timer on my camera, so we had to use the camcorder without a flash. I'm thankful for my little family (yes a few are missing here).
