The camera doesn't lie.

Although sometimes the light can help twist the truth a bit some of those deep set lines of age cannot be hidden.  

My Bpal Giftee's

   All three of my ladies on Bpal received their packages.  I made each of them a bag and a beaded hair accessory and stuffed them full of perfume and other samples.  They were all very excited and loved what they got.  I love when I can make someones day a bit better.

   I have my Redditgiftee's package ready and just have to get it off in the mail and a care package to send off to a friend in Mississippi.  This time of year can be the best, but for some not that great especially when it seems the tide is rolling against you.

  I hope that everyone has a great holiday season, with or without gifts.  Just hold tight the ones you love and know you are blessed as long as you have them in your life.  For those that are alone, go find others that are alone as well.  You do not have to be in a romantic relationship or related by blood to call someone family.

  As for me, I have my husband.  I have friends that I know personally, I have friends I have never met and I love you all.  No matter how bad the situation I know I am loved. I still miss my mom but that will never change.

  Enough blathering from me, go hug someone already.
