I feel really pathetic at the moment, I joined catster and created a profile for my cat. It's actually kind of humorus and I can talk about my cat in there with people that actually care to listen. Honestly most people don't care to listen to stories about my cat, unless they have a cat also.
I went to the mall with my son yesterday to do some Christmas shopping; we are at the last minute getting the packages to the States on time. I was walking from store to store and kept hearing all these old classic Christmas songs and it makes me sad. Christmas time brings up painfull memories for me, especially if I hear a song that is connected to the bad memories. I managed to ignore it until I heard these young girls singing together and they were so happy. I found an ATM machine and turned my back to my son to hide the fact that I was breaking down in public and crying. Anyway, I had a few more gifts to take care of today and decided to go to this small town outside of Reykjavik and shop in a family run gift store. I hate malls, loud Christmas music and people rushing around me when I shop for a loved one. It was wonderful to shop in the little mom and pops store and the service was great.
I think that there is a solution to all of our discomforts, we just have to make a new road/path that makes us feel comfortable in life.
