The Gift of Time

Anyone else find the Christmas Spirit? 

I am so lucky to have some friends online that do cheer me up with their Holiday excitement, but otherwise I am Grumpy Gus.

Yesterday I took my Granny to do her Christmas shopping and to be honest I expected the uglies to come out in people.  I was surprised to find many people laughing along and apologizing with me as we bumped butts in the aisles.  Literally one lady and I bent and bumped our butts at the same time....we laughed!  I was on the Barbie aisle in a local store and said out loud "Barbie's not on sale so this gals outta here!".  A lady laughed and said "Me too!".

My Granny is a brave soul and really wanted to go to the dollar store in our mall.  This store is so hard to maneuver in but you should have seen my Granny with her red shopping cart.  I wanted to run ahead of her and wave flags and warn people that she was coming through.

Though I did not accomplish what I needed to do in the city it felt good that I could provide her with the gift of time.  My Granny does not want us to give her gifts, she just wants us to visit and come by often.  We do visit but sometimes life gets in the way and hockey and other activities get in the way.  When we are ill we must stay away too.

I think the best way to get the grumpies away was for me to do this.  I was sporting a huge migraine headache too but it was worth it....so worth it.
