DECEMBER - Tweet TalkJEALOUSY IS A CURSE!

So crazy is this time of year that I completely forgot to download my December Tweet Talk......

My December tweet talk is brief and sweet this month. Why because it's silly season and I've simply run out of time.

They say jealousy is a curse........if so, then I am truly cursed. Not in a Harry Potter wizards and witches kind of way......nothing that simple! I'm cursed in the lifestyle envy way!

It's the 'Green Eyed Monster' that rears its head from time to time and sometimes I can't control it...........but hey, I'm human so arrest me!

You see, it happens to me every summer! I can't help it.It goes a little something like this.

I see someone with their face covered in sunscreen, barefoot, towel in hand, leisurely strolling down the street or a loaded camper trailer as it goes past. It's the annual pilgrimage of the summer crew that brings it on......the nostalgia of the pre-summer camping plan.

For me it was always on the beaches of the Murray River near Cobram. The catch up with cousins and friends..........the tent!! It's the campfire, water skiing and those lazy days by the river reading a book or simply relaxing. To me its the ultimate break!

So as I stand in the doorway of my store on a stunning summer's day. I try my hardest not to be jealous.I really do try!

Don't get me wrong.......I can almost convince myself that I have the perfect life...... My house is only a stone's throw from the beach which is something that I love about where I live and know most people would die for, but when a customer tries to lift my spirits in the nicest way with the remark, "Don't worry about missing out on summer, you've gotta make hay while the sun shines".

I can't help thinking to myself as that little green monster pops into my head..........."you can stick ya hay up your ass!"

There, I said it.................am I cursed?

TO ALL MY READERS - I SAY THIS WITH A BIG SMILE - "THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL FEEDBACK ON TWEET TALK THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.I WISH YOU ALL A VERY MAGICAL CHRISTMAS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, MAY THE TIME WITH YOUR FAMILIES BE HAPPY, SAFE AND FUN!
