It's the holidays and I have some huge mixed emotions....

It's never easy to go home --- I guess you really can't go back once you leave...

I guess I'm having a few issues with aging. It's un-humane stripping of a person of what they used to be able to accomplish. To enjoy. To remember.

But it forces me to be a grown up...

While it makes me not all too happy with our Creator to be here, watching his creations fall apart. I guess that's what the full circle is all about, but it just doesn't seem fair.

It does make me appreciate others in life, who fight the good fight every day with a sense of grace and care and responsibility. It's interesting how your heroes change as you get a little older. Maybe it's just a huge attempt to capture a little wisdom. I'm not sure.

We should all get to go out like James Brown. Lay down some beats. Spin around. Perhaps do a little time. Give out some toys. Catch pneumonia and then call it a day.
