A celebration of fertility and family. Our world is obsessed with a standard of living that is standard for everyone except us. All the "We'll never..." statements are so painful.<BR/><BR/>I hate this time of year. <BR/><BR/>And my maternity leave would have been just around the corner, too. (November 26). This thanksgiving will be brutal.<BR/><BR/>Here with you,<BR/>EMRS.

But I do not like the piling on of the holidays that reek of consumerism. I guess if I am just alone with nature somewhere I would feel better.<BR/>Thinking of you, and thanks for the tag! xoxoxojanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14326099151319592743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-54382186359493753572008-10-26T10:12:00.000-04:002008-10-26T10:12:00.000-04:00Great post Loribeth.I have the same mixed feelings...Great post Loribeth.<BR/><BR/>I have the same mixed feelings about October. I love the fall colors, and missed them when I was away from the Northeast. I also love the chill in the air. Sweater weather.<BR/><BR/>All this week though, I have felt sadness that I won't ever have the parenting experiences that come with Halloween - every time we pass a pumpkin stand, I think about carving pumpkins, and then there is going out trick or treating. In recent years, I don't even come to the door - my dh handles the door.<BR/><BR/>And then, the end of October brings the family holidays - Thanksgiving and Christmas - holidays I don't feel much like celebrating anymore. <BR/><BR/>I guess it is time to focus on holiday traditions which are more couple-oriented. If the weather is good enough, we usually go on a morning walk, but we need to come up with a couple more ideas!Alacrityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12875591638441877915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-59253675134937939832008-10-25T22:38:00.000-04:002008-10-25T22:38:00.000-04:00IT is a disquieting time of yearIT is a disquieting time of yearYa Chunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816837461370619194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-14176073107330158762008-10-25T12:51:00.000-04:002008-10-25T12:51:00.000-04:00I miss the maple leaves turning colours in High Pa...I miss the maple leaves turning colours in High Park where I used to live.<BR/><BR/>Heh, heh, used to be quite the Barry Manilow fan when I was in high school.
