Brenda's Brainstorm & Trevor, a T Man Production 2009 - 2022

This blog is very personal to me and is written, deep within my soul. First off...I personally feel that the holiday we should be celebrating the most, Thanksgiving, gets lost between Halloween and Christmas. It seems to me, that day just seems to get swept under the rug, so to speak. I have many things to be thankful for. I am a one year + brain tumor survivor...have a wonderful mom, who I love very much. Now, it seems that the Christmas music starts playing in the stores earlier each year and the decorations are up not much after Halloween or even before. It's simply just too early! Some of the plain facts that I want to bring out here is...that the holidays in general, can be a very distressing time for some. For many, it is a constant reminder of loved ones who are no longer with us.

I write this particular blog with many emotions and feelings. In less than two months time...I will be turning 50 years old. I thought at least by this time in my life...I would at least be in some sort of relationship. Yes...I have dated some. It has been many years...and they usually never amounted to anything deep. One was actually a blind date...set up by my insurance agent. We only went out that one time. It was pleasant enough...and he was polite, etc. There was this one guy...who wanted to see me every night. Now, that was just a little bit too eager for me. He also drank and smoked right in my face mind you. This was actually a guy from church. I am right here telling all of you...that there are no guarantees...what kind of person you will meet...even in a church setting. I guess for me... a spontaneous happening would be the best kind. I have been single for so long. Believe me, I know all the right things to say. Like when someone asks you...where is your husband?...
