Sad Story...Think of Others

Christmas is just around the corner4 days to go, i feel like the Grinch this year. i didn't want to decorate or put up the tree, it just seems like alot of work for something that will be taken down in a couple of weeks. we did decorate actually my man did, at least someone here is in the spirit. the sad thing is that this year alot of friends felt the same way, no one is in the so called "holiday spirit". the economy is so bad right now that its put a damper on alot of families holiday. The news reported 2 days ago about a man that committed suicide, the news showed the house where it happened it's a big beautiful house where he lived with his girlfriend. sad story and only 1 week before Christmas. its been a proven fact that this time of year the suicide rates go up, so terrible to think a happy time of year is the when it goes up. i am sure that the suicide rates have gone way up this year due to the horrid economy, but the news hasn't reported that, huh! i think its because our new president is thought of by alot of Americans as a savior and will fix everything, no one person can fix our problems. i feel for any family that has delt with any tragedy during the holiday season and hope their cloud comes by to help them thru.
