So, my first blog page...Yeah, Holly's Hoopla, might change that, we'll see. It's supposed to suggest great excitement...I can be a bit hyper and chatty, so it seemed a good choice...each word starts with H...it's perky. Today is not really a hyper chattty day though. I am tired from the holidays and off schedule, you know the feeling. The kids are asleep, but I need to wake them in a few minutes so they will go to bed tonight.
I wish I had some great insight to share or at least a joke....I even looked back at my 20 yr. ago journal entry in case something was funny there...but alas "it was fast Sunday and I didn't fast"...now I have guilt! I'd share about 1999...but I had quit journaling by then...sorry folks...30 years back? Actually, the first entry I have in a journal is 12/23/79...kinda close(okay almost a year off), but shoot, no good..."My Uncle Mark died this morning..."can't win for trying...but I'll share that entry with you. It is sweet, I would have been 10 yrs. old...spelling not corrected, maybe that will be funny anyway.
"My Uncle Mark died this morning. He was someone I saw, but can't remember him because I saw him when I was a baby. But even thoe I can't remember what he looks like I know in my heart that he is the most wonderful uncle in the world. I love my uncle Mark and I always will for as long as I live. He gave and didn't take. All he wanted was pepole to be kind to one another. In the bible Jesus wanted the same as uncle Mark did. Uncle Mark was just like Jesus he wanted pepole to be kind to eachother and he always will. I am going to be like he wants me to be. I will give and not take and be kind to all living things for as long as I will live to remind me of this time right now and to remind me of uncle Mark Untill I join him in heaven."
Aww, that is sweet. I hope we can all learn from this and be nice for as long as you will live even if you don't have any Hoopla to share.
Holly
