Thanksgiving? in Me Being Me

The one thing I just don’t understand is why have these holidays when you can celebrate them all year round? And when each of these holidays is over then we just forget what they mean to us? Now a days they are just a day where you don’t have to go to work and you get to be with your family. I think all the holidays have lost their true meaning and we just don’t remember the bad things that happend.
As the years go on I am starting to question why even bother with these holidays because really they are no different then any other day. Or are they? And now that there are different religions it really doesn’t matter about these days. And the sad thing is that with these other religions they are mostly forgotten about and most people don’t even know what they are because they just don’t care. Here is a question? Do you know what all the Jewish holidays are? And what happened? Or why it happened? I bet there are not many people who actually know without looking it up and they really don’t know when these days are. I might not know all the religions holidays but I do know some of them and when I know it’s that day I acknowlege the day or days.
I think the most important thing to do on these days is think about the hardships that once were and how far we have come and we need to celebrate that. But we don’t. Do you know the history about these holidays? Or do you just celebrate the gifts and the food? I think we have forgotten the true meaning of these days and it’s just getting worse as the new generations are starting their life. I am thinking that my generation is right in the middle.We still know the meaning of these days and the history but we opt for the good stuff and that is wrong.
We had our thanksgiving meal yesterday and I thought it was horrible. The ham was too salty for my liking and the stuffing was still a bit salty evven though it was less salt the only good things were the canned corn and the pumkin pie and chocolate ice cream.
I am finding that there are a lot of things with way too much salt. I am now reading package lables to see how much sugar and salt is in them and if there is more then 1 gram of sugar or more then a t-spoon of salt then I don’t buy it. I am finding that packaged and bixed food is just not good for me so I try to eat fresh things but not too much because that can cause issues also. Everything in moderation.

Onto something else…

The other day someone here told me about a unmanned boarder crossing in Canada and I found out that it’s for asylum seekers and they are actually talked to but they can only come and be in Canada after all their optiond from their countires is exhausted. Like what happened in Ukrain.
Canadas boarders are 5525 miles and that is the longest and bigest boarder in North America. And we don’t have an issue with illeagl entries because the RCMP intercepts and decides if they have grounds to stay here and then they have to go trew the hoops that the government says to go through. I just thought it was really interesting how two different countries deal with the same issue. You would think that the USA would copy Canada’s ways but they think that crossing the Mexican boarder and living on the streets and using all the governemnt resurses is okay. Here refugies and others need to have enough money for at least a year with out any help from any governemnt agency and they have to do all the rograms like learn english better and have a job when they get here and they will need more education so their knowledge of their job coinsides with Canadian ways and law.

Onto something else....

Not sure what will be for dinner but it will be edible and I probally won’t like it much.
Anyways… I need to stop here…
Do have a great day…
Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe and Behave.
