Every rose has it's thorn, every day has it's night, as I enter this second stage of the Holidays, I reflect upon the events that currently permeate our lives ... Challenge? Add a section and repost it :)
I hate this damn Virus, the distancing, the death, the sorrow, and the misery it brings to us all
I love that I still have my health, and the people I hold dear in the world have theirs..And I am proud, VERY proud of our health workers and the war they have fought, and continue to fight this pandemic on all fronts.
I hate that our troops are still overseas, fighting and dying, and the grief the families of our fallen heroes must endure.
I love having the simple freedom to be able to write this, and will always be eternally grateful for those who, past and present, living or gone, both provide and protect that freedom.
I hate that our election is still being fought over, that our country remains, and will remain, partially divided while it continues.
I love that I live in a country where every decision or fact must stand the scrutiny of truth, and not merely be swept under the carpet, be it real or imaginary.
I hate the bitter cold of winter, the dangers the temperatures bring, the hazard the falling snow brings with it.
I love thinking of sitting by a bay window, sipping cocoa, holding my sub, and looking at the freshly covered Earth.
I hate the commercialization of the season, the constant bombardment from the media about this sale or that sale.
I love the look in a child's eyes as they widen with unbridled joy and pure gratitude as they unwrap their gifts.
I hate that of the approximate 686,000 police officers seerving in this country, placing their lives on the line for our protection and safety, a handful of events have caused such a backlash at the entire group.
I love that in this country, one life lost is considered too many.
i hate that so many people spend their lives judging and hating other people merely because they are not the same as them.
I love the fact that I found The Cage, and along with it, all of you. We may not always agree, we certainly are capable of a good fight, but in the end, I know how true this community is, and that even if the method may not be sound at times, the motivation almost always is.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Cagers, and thanks for being here ...
