I am not the Eeyore type of person at all, but the last few days I have been feeling sorry for myself. Even as I told one of my Soldiers the other day that you have to be pro-active and happen to life and not allow life to happen to you; to overcome instead of choosing to be a victim, I was still walking around with the Holiday Blues.
Everywhere I go the song I’ll be home for Christmas is playing. The song reminds me that this will be the first Christmas in 34 years that I am not with family. It is especially hard because I am so close to going home; well under 40 days now. For as much as I complain about certain Christmas traditions, I promise I won’t complain next year. I guess I will be home this year after all; if only in my dreams!
I think I’m walking around with the same holiday blues. Missing you.

Sorry Guys,
Tis the season of memories. Just think of all the new memories you will create when you are debt free and can actually enjoy life! When that happens, this yr will be a figment of the past.
Happy Holidays,
Frank

I wish that I had the words to offer to make the blues go away and lift the morale to the highest level. I can only offer my thanks and wish for your happy return.
See ya in a few weeks

Timing is kinda rough, but I’m glad you’ll be rotating home soon, even if too late to join the family Christmas. Stay warm and safe
