Gee... Merry Christmas, huh?

It's funny how people think they can just bury their heads in the sand and somehow everything will be all right. There are consequences to everything, and everything is always in motion... and yet people still think they can ignore everyone around them and go on about their business with no consequences. It's like when kids go off to school and come back and mom has made their room into a sewing room. They think when they're not there, nothing will change. But in a marriage, too, if you're "not there" emotionally, things will change without you. And you really have no right to be surprised if the train leaves the station without you. Gee, that was a real metaphor-fest!
