Giving Time of the Year

Monday is going to be a huge day. I am going to go to different shelters, charities, and people that I know who have been going through a very rough time and deserve an amazing holiday, even if it is just for one day. I have and will be gathering up different gifts, presents, holiday stuff, and just me and my time, just to maybe brighten up their holiday and show that people are here and care. I am going to spend all day hanging out with them, talking to them, and doing whatever with them. And I guess out of all of this hopefully they have a better/joyful holiday and maybe give them a little more hope.

Could I be doing more of this every year, Absolutely. Do I? No, I don't, but I should. But for me right now is a big deal to show people that you are there for them and that you care and love them. My Dad was always a giving person around this time of the year. And I don't mean buying things for people, even though he did do that. He went above and beyond what most people do during this time of the year. He showed people that he cared about them, loved them, appreciated them, etc... And I want to be able to do that and carry that on for him, and for myself. Even though this is one of the most joyful times of the year, a lot of people aren't because they are struggling and just trying to get by. Most people are sad and hurt because they can't give their loved ones or children or family everything they want to give them. Maybe they are just so busy that they don't have time to spend with their family. Whatever the case may be, doing things for others this time of the year and showing people that you are just there for them is the biggest gift you can give someone. And I want to try to give some people that and hopefully give them a better and happier holiday.

Then the rest of that week, following up to Christmas for me, I really want to show my family and friends that I really care, love, and appreciate them more than they could ever imagine. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be who and where I am today. I am sure they know that and know I care and love them. But it is always nice to hear, show, and do things they you wouldn't expect one to do. And that is exactly what I am going to do for them. Because everyone of them has helped or given up something for me to be who I am and help me achieve what I want in life. And they deserve to know in every way, that I appreciate everything they do for me, even if it is as a little as they just listened to me. Because they may think that is little but that is huge thing to me and I want to show how much everything means.
