My Christmas Spirit

Those who know me well can attest to one thing; Tara LOVES Christmas. The carols, trees, lights and presents under the tree have always fascinated me. For me, Christmas equates joy. And why not? It is the birth of our Lord.

This year sadly, the Christmas spirit I normally have is just not there and when it comes, it doesn't last. For one, I didn't get into mode Christmas till yesterday, Christmas Eve! Very unlike me. And now, my Christmas spirit is gone again. A chain of events and certain people killed my Christmas spirit over the course of the day.

Now it's Christmas morning and all I want for Christmas really...is my Christmas spirit back again. Without it, I can't have the Christmas I envision; a merry one!

On a happier note, Merry Christmas to all! Thank you for always reading :*

Second Chances

Being human, we often make mistakes.
Even the most perfect of us mess up bad sometimes. It's just part of human nature.
Why then don't we freely give second chances?
How come that concept is so outdated...so foreign?
A mistake is made and a verdict is cast.
So sudden, without thought for what was and what could be.
I believe people make mistakes, mistakes they later regret.
Why punish someone for something they already punish themselves for?
In this life, holding a grudge takes way more strength
More strength than it takes to forgive.
For that reason, I prefer to let things go.
I prefer to move ahead and look towards a better future.
I believe in second chances.
After all, I will someday need one.
