It's really sad that this month gets overlooked.

There should be a group of people banding together in protest that this month is ignored and is overpowered by the intense drive to buy buy buy. Materialism at it's ugly best. November is about warmth. Simplicity. Family. I'm not in a stereotypical crazy mode to buy gifts that drain me of my delicate brain cells. I'm relaxed and knowing that this month I will gather around those I love to share a meal. Simple. Warm. Loving.

Now, before you drag me off to the stake, I do enjoy Christmas. I do. The early days of Christmas. Don't get me started on how the day came up and Santa Clause and the Pagan holidays...we'll just keep all that out. I love giving gifts from the heart. Not my wallet. I'd rather make people a book with all the memories and funny stories we both share than buy them something at the mall. That's where my heart comes in.

November gets pushed to the side with Christmas Trees already strung with lights, and ornaments hanging on them. Display windows full of red, green and gold, with a guy in a a red suit saying Ho Ho Ho. Where are the rich colors of fall? The oranges...the reds...the crimson!? It's overtaken by Christmas. Thanksgiving almost is standing in a way of a school bully in the middle of the hallway. Not standing a chance.

I for one, am in favor of a day that takes time out of our lives to focus on a thankful heart. One a heart that pauses to remember people present and past. I think of my ancestors often in this time of year. Thanksgiving was born on this soil. In the thick woods inside the warm homes of pioneers that used that holiday to gather everyone within arms reach just to have company. It was born in the kitchens where the women were baking all day the traditional meal laughing with friends and family about life and loss. And even before the pioneers, it was born in the hearts of other pioneers that risked their lives to arrive here. They weren't perfect, but we all fall short. They risked everything to start over. To begin again. And with this heart...Thanksgiving was born. A heart that saw loss daily and knew the risks of this new country. Not even named yet. It's not wonder I always say that I was born in the wrong time. My heart is simple. I yearn for the simple days. The hardships are there, but the fruit is more than I see today in a world that is totally beyond my understanding. I find my fellow people in classics. Those that I know in history, if we were to talk, we would be good friends.

A history geek in the wrong time. Who would have thought....

Hey Hunny Bunny, you simply are a little deeper than the average dude. I wouldn't say you were born in the wrong era because you were purposed to exist now; God just decided to put a romantic beautiful thinker on His planet at this time and I'm so relieved He did. The world would be so 2-D and monochromatic without folk like you!! OXOX

You scored as William Wallace. The great Scottish warrior William Wallace led his people against their English oppressors in a campaign that won independence for Scotland and immortalized him in the hearts of his countrymen. With his warrior's heart, tactician's mind, and poet's soul, Wallace was a brilliant leader. He just wanted to live a simple life on his farm, but he gave it up to help his country in its time of need.

Your French name is ~Ciel~ which means 'sky'. You are a day dreamer. You sit and stare at the

else. You love to imagine what life could be
like if you were someone else, somewhere else.
You are curious and sometimes inattentive.

What is your French name?
