Only The Good

This time of year always reminds me of simpler times, I like to nestle up by the warm fire and watch all my favorite Christmas movies and listen to all my favorite Christmas music, like Bing Crosby in Holiday Inn or Harry Connick Jr. or good old Franky Baby.  Yes, yes those must have been much simpler times, nothing like this crazy schedule most of us have succumb to nowadays, no of course not back then they knew how to enjoy life, how to relax and when to work but when to play and really enjoy friends and family.

Isn't it funny how we remember those people, Bing oh what a great voice and great actor who starred in some of the classics and thats how people remember him, they chose to leave out that he supposedly had a temper and liked to knock around his wife and drink too much.  Or what about Frank, now I'm pretty sure if I was around back then or he was around now we would have be somewhat of an item, oh how romantic his songs and his voice, well his voice that put him on the map, there is none like it and if there are they are constantly reminded who they sound like, good old franky baby.  Now do you suppose people remember him as supposedly being heavily involved in the mob and maybe whacking a few guys in his day?  Nope, because people have a funny way of forgetting the bad things in such a historical persons life, they choose to only see the person as they want to, only the good stories.

Seeing only the good in people is something I strive to do on a continuous basis, because if you decide to see the negative instead then you become negative yourself and that helps no one.  We have all wandered down a wrong path here or there in our lives, made wrongs decisions, some big, some small, but we must always remember that we are all HUMAN, we make mistakes we have negative characteristics and things we all want to improve.  Don't expect people to see the good in you if you can't see the good in someone else, I mean have you ever heard you reap what you sow, I'm sure you have its from a very popular book, but there is nothing truer, if your always seeing the bad in someone then expect them to see it in you as well.

I hope that this Holiday season you all hold each other tight and remember why you fell in love with that spouse in the first place not the annoying way they chew their food or how they never pick up their socks, remember the first time you had a blast with that brother or sister how much fun you use to have, not that they've grown to be someone you don't really like or their views are sooo wacky.  No instead this year lets remember only the good things.  Well until tomorrow I bid you all a farewell and good night!

Warm Regards,
Candace
