Nov 27, 2012- Holidays are guidelines for the thoughtless...

     The start of December got me thinking about christmas, and of course like every other thing, it got me thinking about Alex.  It make me wonder if Alex was going to do anything special for me on christmas...but then I thought even if he did, holidays aren't the only time you should do something special for someone you care about.  And thats when it came to me, it was plain and simple...holidays were guidelines for the thoughtless.  Thanksgiving shouldn't be the one day out of the year you give thanks, you should be thankful for everything you have 365 days a year.  You shouldn't need valentines day to remind you to show the person your with that you care about them, you should show them just because you love them and want to make them smile, just so your can see their smile.  New years isn't your only new start, every day when you wake up in the morning you have a fresh start to write wrongs, and have a new attitude about life. With this in mind I've decided to make everyday a "holiday" and each day I want to do one selfless thing, and hopefully make someone smile, because I think everyone has room to become a better person and I definitely would like to try.
