Default Random Thoughts Again!

I thought it would be fun to start up the Random Thoughts again. I have so many of them myself and I'm sure some of you do too. With that, my random thought for the day . . .

The holidays are coming and with that it means family, friends, food, and wonderment of the season. This year Hanukah begins on the 20th and Christmas, as always, on the 25th. It's so neat that they are both occurring around the same time. While I am Catholic, I not only respect the Jewish religion but am intrigued by it as well. I mean, Jesus was a Jew and if I am to understand his life better, I need to understand his religion. I grew up around a lot of Jewish kids and many of them were my good friends. We shared in each others traditions. I was very fortunate for that.

Ok, I got off track and started rambling. Back on point. People seem to do good things only around this time of year. It brings out the good in them. However, why does it only happen at this time of year. I've been guilty of this too. So my challenge for the upcoming year is to keep the feeling going through the next year. I saw this thing online somewhere that every day a deed is done for someone. Like, Monday would be to send a card to someone, Tuesday bring some food to a shelter, soup kitchen, or food bank, Wednesday would be to bring a neighbor a gift (handmade, store bought, just a card or some cookies), etc. I thought what a fantastic idea. I could do some of these things, especially sending cards (well I do have to budget for stamps, which is tough).

What's your random thought for the day?

You just reminded me--I've always believed that sometimes a good deed isn't something you do, but something you DON'T do. When you DON'T say, "I already knew that" when somebody excitedly shares something. When you DON'T nail somebody with the zinger he so richly deserves. When you DON'T say "I know exactly how you feel", even if you probably do. And so on.

My random thought? There are as many wackos on the Price as Right as there are on Dr. Phil.

So very true B2Y! Sometimes it is the things we don't do or don't say that can become good deeds.

AND, You just reminded me of why I don't watch daytime TV. I haven't watched the Price is Right in years!!! I used to love the game shows that they had on TV during the day. The Price is Right was one of them. It's sad how they don't have them on anymore.

Funny how good something sounds until you have to make it yourself.

I thought I wanted an orange.....until I cut it up, made a huge mess and then didn't want to eat it OR clean up the mess!

My foot hurts... Oh, Yahtzee!! Yippee! I wonder if we have any good snacks in the kitchen? My tongue hurts. What time is it anyway? That TV is so loud.

Why did they all of a sudden make fruit for kids that is easy to peel and seedless? Didn't they think us older people would have wanted that? Hybrid cars, now hybrid fruit

I now hate weekends as much as I used to love them. Go figure.

Why is the end of my nose always cold?

I wonder if I snore? I've never heard myself snore.....but how would I if I'm asleep?

I was fine till I watched Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Now I'm hungry for Mexican food.

I think my New Years resolution will be to not interrupt people so much and to really listen to what others are saying.

Now I am cold/hot, cold/hot...
