Just call me a Humble Bumble

                                                                     
A couple of days ago I was a tad caught up in feeling down over my lack of holiday spirit, perhaps too self-absorbed in wrestling with my own seasonal demons to realize it’s not all about me!

Then, today, I read a Blog.  Not just any written collection of thoughts, mind you, but a Blog of great significance to me and many of its loyal readers.  I’m fortunate to know its creator and have mentioned her contributions here and there in my own postings; Kelli’s writings are, well, a gift.

If I ever grow young again, I want to be just like her.

While reading over the beginning of her latest posting, I sat and thought how very much on the same thinking page we both were concerning the holidays.  How quickly we look past all we do have yet, during rough times, we focus on so much that we still want and fret over what we cannot have and honestly don’t need!  Stress, finances (especially the lack of), wish lists and more are a major part of this season but we all easily forget about those who don’t have dreams left to dream.

Kelli remembered and in doing so she brought tears to my eyes and to the eyes of just about everyone who has been reading her Blog this day.  Her words gave me a good jab in my keister to stop wallowing about the downside of Christmas and take a positive step forward to reach out on behalf of someone who truly has little to look forward to; someone with little or no hope and certainly no resources to achieve even the tiniest dream this holiday season.  That person will be a child; Christmas is about children more than anyone, or anything, else.  Thank you, Kelli!
I stand before you now…a Humble Bumble.
