A little freaky ass dog that scared the neighbor's wife when she undresses.

Bwuah hahahaha!

There was this TV show of some guy who never dies.  Yep! He's immortal.  One of the biggest downers about immortality is that basically everybody dies on you.  Pretty sad.

You notice that as you get older you will see more and more of your family and friends pass away.  You will experience more loss as time goes on.  It's inevitable- death.  Either people die on you or you die on them.  Nobody want's to think about it.  But then, somebody you care about dies or comes close to it.  You start thinking about your own mortality. Or at least I start thinking about it at a certain point.

A long life will have plenty of loss and sadness.  But it will also have a great deal of happiness, love, and goodness as well.  Along with more time on this earth, comes more opportunity to do more good, love more, and be loved more.  It's all good.

Just focus on living.  Because that all we've got.  All we've got is the time given to us to be here in this realm.  Might as well make the best of it.

Remember, the longer we are here, the greater the opportunity to love and be loved even more.

Yes, we are all loved.  Even when you think everybody hates you, somebody loves you. 

Think about living not dying.

A long life?  Yes!  I'll take it!  And I'll take all the opportunities life gives me as well as the challenges.

First off, I just wanted to say that I was so grateful to have the family getting together.  It's so nice to see all the children playing and laughing. I loved that we were all together eating and relaxing.

I was also grateful that preparation for Thanksgiving was virtually stress free. All participants brought a dish or two and it was at mi sister's house.  No mess to clean up.  Amen to that!

Did you enjoy the turkey?  Was there pumpkin pie and stuffing?

We had all that and more.  My family is mainly Filipino. So we had the traditional American food (turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, collard greens).  We also had lumpia, pancit, calderetta, ube yam, fruit salad, biko, and sinigang. We also had mac 'n cheese, lasagna, Watergate salad, homemade bread, and a whole steamed fish.  There was so much food, I had to take small portions of everything.  Even that turned out to be a bad idea since my stomach disagreed with the wide variety at one sitting. 

It was great to just eat and kick back with family. Sure we watched a couple of the football games.  But I spent some time getting pictures and videos of this affair.  Ah, I love Thanksgiving and all the fattening trimmings.  I'm sorta missing it now that I'm thinking about going back to work tomorrow.

After the highs of the holiday and get togethers, I'm going to be soooo depressed to be back at work tomorrow. Wish I could hit the rewind button to enjoy Thanksgiving all over again. This past week was a blast, yet so short.

Doesn't it seem like the good times just go by way too fast?
