Everyone loves Memorial
Day as a day of festivities and fun. It is also a day of sorrow and the many
souls sent to the reaches of some other place so that each of us can enjoy life
as we currently know it. On Memorial Day every minute is borrowed. Borrowed
from the man who perished in a trench, the one who sunk at the helm of a ship
or the secretary that burst up the stairwell in a mad dash to ensure the next
order was telegraphed without delay. Minutes don’t come cheap on this day and
every clock hand was earned through blood, sweat and tears. Memorial Day is
just one day in the sequence of days borrowed and each generation will need to
add their contribution to keep the clock working properly.
The festivities
are part of that day of souls and every laugh, social gathering, bbq sandwich
and bratwurst should be a feast; feast for being in the moment of life. Some
will remember those who left us a future while many have already forgotten.
Some heroes were well known and some died unknown but each willingly traded
their time. Memorial Day is a day to eat, sing, and most of all spend that
borrowed time well.

If you are looking
for events San Diego has a smorgasbord of options and opportunities. Many of
the events are free while others will charge you a pittance; a few may charge
you more. Ideas range from walks in the part, memorial services, placing
wreaths on grave sites, visiting historical landmarks and social parties.
Perhaps you prefer to donate. Choose one but most of all just remember-that all time is a gift from one generation to the next.
