xmas shopping

Hi,i experienced a most wonderful day.Shopping for the grand-kids.The sights and emotions,a carnival of celebration and anticipation,evidenced by peoples faces,as they scurried through the stores,or stalled with smiles,brought about by,remember whens,as all united,in a glorious front to bring joy to someone else.People are forever talking about how hectic shopping becomes this close to that magical day called christmas.in my eyes it is a wondrous display of the true beauty,in being a human is.Only now do all try,without remorse or thought of self,to give,with a smile,to those cheerful souls,ringing the bells,in front of the stores,to aid another,they don't even know,without any thought of being scammed.How we smile and even try to help one another,stopping in our own mad rush,to help ensure someone else gets a gift,who we don't even know,by aiding that stranger searching in the same aisle.It is so wonderful,and it dosent seem to matter that i don't have a pocket full of money,it just feels so good in just the simple act of doing something so sweet,in its innocence,that i feel rich,for these children have hardly any idea of money or its value,they just relish in the joy of a magical day.They enjoy tearing the gifts open,as much as the gifts themselves,sometimes.I think its the magic of their innocence and the magic that they experience,we lose and hunger for as we get older.So i love being the child,i am in this mans body,hehehe,old enough to enjoy the thought,i was fortunate enough to bring a little joy to a child,childish enough to enjoy the pleasure of picking out that special gift,that i perceived as special for someone. I bought this little doll in a crib last night,its called,baby alive,she bounces up and down in her crib,making all these laughing giggles and stuff,had to move her to the table next to me ,so i could enjoy her precious antics.Plus she is keeping a smile on my face,i feel so tickled sharing this,but here is the beauty of christmas in another sense.we give sometimes,out of love,those things we would like for ourselves,hoping that another will enjoy the pleasure of a gift as much as we would.Unselfishly,and with love.Oh boy,she just laughed again,hehehehe,bouncing up and down in her crib.God i love the fact i am alive today,in addition i am watching soul food and she is auditioning for a dance part,and dancing is such a wonderful expression of joy.One of the most valuable things in my life is my time spent on the dance floor,expressing myself in my own way,feeling the music,that others cant hear,that magic called the fifth note known only to a few,not out of arrogance but out of a sense of being one with the music,a part of it ,not just the hearing of it,the sense of being a part of a rythymn encompassing not only your physical body,but an enveloping,and penetrating part of  your entire being,your essence and soul.Throughout my life i have always thought if i was half in good in bed as i felt on the dance floor,i would be another john holmes,hahahaha,alas the truth is,i am sadly just not that good,but dance,that made up for all my inefficiencies,to me anyway.Sorry girls.Funny,huh,2 different subjects,but both with similarities in the joy they bring us,how we lose sight of ourselves,and that we are gifting others with what we have,no more,no less,the feeling that for once it is good enough,just doing the best we can and that for those we love,that was good enough.I have wowed myself,if not you,and will end it on this final note,thank you for being a part of my world and merry christmas to all,love,marino.she just giggled again,hehehehe.
