My mama will be gone 30 years this Christmas night. Sometimes it seems like it has not been nearly as long. Sometimes it seems longer. I still miss her, but I think she would be proud of who I have become since then.
If I see you in the grocery store or CVS and don't recognize you, please do not be offended! I did not realize how much I identify people by their smiles until masks were being almost universally worn. Two people had to tell me who they were in CVS last week! And I have known them both for years! Am I the only one who has this problem? Anyway, if I don't recognize you, tell me who you are so I can say hello and Merry Christmas.
If someone had told me that I would not go out of the house wearing anything but a little eyebrow gel this time last year, I wouldn't have believed them.I have saved quite a bit on makeup this year for sure. I don't wear tons at any time, but why put makeup on when wearing a mask everywhere? Half of my wrinkles are covered up. I'll take it.
I think I need to leave some of my Facebook groups. Seriously, I am getting to where I can't always remember every rule for every group! My poor fuzzy brain just can't keep up any more.
When I am asked what I want for Christmas, the first thing that comes to mind is the vaccine for COVID-19! Seriously! The sooner we can get inoculated against this beast, the sooner life will return to some semblance of normal. Other than the health and happiness of my family and friends, I really don't want or need much.
And for those of you who are missing a loved one this Christmas, here is a big (virtual) hug for you! (((Hugs)))
I hope everyone can find some moments of peace and joy despite the craziness that has been 2020.
Stay safe, everyone.
