q4t - life

Life is just one damned thing after another.
Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)

aint it so. only thing i can say is that in the main our damned things are tame by comparison to those faced by others around the world.

on a separate note - I have always struggled with the spirit of Xmas. I dont know why, but I have never found it much of a celebration. I dont think i am that good at the giving/receiving thing. I also think that the western version of Xmas is too commercialised and that it lacks spirit. Maybe its me, but i dont know.

too tackle this malaise i am off to wrap presents (at Mission Australia) for those people who will attend their Xmas lunch. Maybe that will bring me a change of perspective.
