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 !
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

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....
