Traditions

We have no traditions in this 'new' family.  We have only been married for just under 4 years.  Hard to make traditions when it is that young.  What about all those 'old' traditions.

They are simply that... Old and with someone else.  We live in a very busy world these days and it is difficult to make new traditions.  It makes me sad.  Holidays are supposed to be all about traditions.  I am not in the 'holiday' mood.  I bake, as usual, but that is the extent of it.  Even the decorations haven't been put up.  What is so different about this year?

I would like to think that it is because I am not feeling well.  Bronchitis.  This too shall pass.  One can only hope that the malaise will as well.

I wish you all joy this holiday season.  Enjoy your families and the 'reason for the season'.  I look forward to July 31st, 2012 when I am officially retired and, hopefully, enjoying the remainder of my life.  It's got to be better than this.
