An Anthem Opinions Editorial



Winter is now here...the snows are falling...and recently we received a touching reminder that "winter"is more than just another season...it's the close to the end of 2014...and...

...yet another year in our "senior" lives" !

One of our readers sent us this moving commentary that we would like to share with you.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Most importantly,  as we enter 2015, rather than viewing this with sadness, we want you to look at the "winter of your life" as a time of happiness by reflecting and smiling at the cherished memories that have been compiled over a lifetime...a lifetime that has allowed you to age like vintage wine...

...a lifetime that must enjoyed to the fullest because...Father Time.... is now your peer.

AND THEN IT WAS WINTER


Time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years.

It seems that it was just yesterday that I was young, just married, and embarking on my new life with my mate.  Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went.


I know that I lived them all....I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.

But....here it is..."the winter of my life"...

...and it catches me by surprise. 

How...did I get here so fast?

Where did the years go....and when did my youth disappear?


I remember seeing older people through the years and thinking that "they" were years away from me...and that I couldn't imagine what it would be like to ever be that old !


But...here it is...it finally happened.  My friends are retired and getting grey....they somehow move slower than they used to....and I see an older person now.


Some are in better shape than me...others worse...but...I see the great change now...not like the ones I remember who were young and vibrant....but are NOW...like me....

...their age is beginning to show and we're now the older folks we thought we'd never be !


And how my lifestyle has changed....

Taking a nap is no longer a treat...it's mandatory...because....if I don't...I just seem to fall asleep where I sit !

And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to and do things that I wish I had done....BUT NEVER DID !



But...at least I know, that though the "winter has come", and I'm not sure how long it will last....

...this I know !

That when it's over on this earth...it's not OVER !

A new adventure will begin !


Yes....I have regrets !  There are things I did that I wish I had never done....
...but indeed...there are tons of things that I did...and am happy to have 
done them !

I guess it's all in a lifetime.

So...if you're not in the "winter" yet...or you believe you aren't, but that mirror tells you otherwise....it comes faster than you think !

Whatever you would like to accomplish in your life...do it quick !

Don't put things off too long.

Life goes by SO QUICKLY....so....do what you can TODAY, as you can never be sure whether it's your last "winter".


You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of life in the coming years...so live for today....

...and....say all the things that you want your loved ones to know and hear...NOW....and hope that they appreciate and love you for all things that you have done for them in years past.

"Life"...is a gift to you


The way you live your life...is the gift to those who come after.  Make if a fantastic one.
Live it well
Enjoy Today
Do Something Fun
Be Happy

Let's conclude this "opinion" by enjoying a look at life though song.

Happy New Year...and make sure you have...a

Happy Winter


Say It Ain't So !

We'll Miss Them....They Were Part of Our Lives (Part One of Two)


We are at times asked if there is a specific topic or article that has the greatest readership; and surprising, since our commencing publication in November, 2012...
 
...in both 2012 and 2013, our "Memorial" to those we lost during that particular year is far and above the most read.
 
We have continued that tradition in 2014 with two changes that we hope will allow you to better remember and appreciate the significance of the lives of those we lost in the past year...
 
First...in addition to bringing you the list, we have also included links to youtube.com videos that will be allow you to more fully explore their contributions to our lives while they were with us.
 
Second...because the list is extensive, we have divided our memorial into two articles; those who have passed from January to June, 2014; and secondly, those we lost from July to December.
 
We also want to tell you that if you choose to view the videos, this might involve a lengthy period of time on your part....but...it will also allow you to more properly honor them for the accomplishments that in many cases, changed our lives.
 
And so....to close 2014...
 
...Anthem Opinions...brings you the first of these articles....

Wine Stains...We Know How to Get Rid of Them

It's a long night for Santa, and after a cold sleigh ride, even "Santa" enjoys a "nip" or two coming and going up and own that chimney....often leaving a telltale sign that he's been there.



....and the next morning...there it is...a stain on the carpet....a dreaded RED WINE STAIN.

We'll blame it on Santa rather than the guest you might have invited for the holidays....

...but how many times have you spent time getting the house just perfect for guests...only to have one of them  them accidentally spill red wine on your white or beige carpeting?

...or when you're dressed to the 9s and a guest...in the spirit of the holiday....accidentally bumps into you or another person.... while taking a sip of the red vino?

Outside....you're reaction is this....


But...Inside...it's really this....


Well...not to worry !

We know the best way of removing the stain....
