A friend is someone who knows the song of your soul and sings it back to you when you’ve forgotten the words. — Bernard Meltzer
For various reasons, I have had a rough year. Personal stuff that I do not care to talk about, but that I think of all the time.
Today I have been showered with blessings from my friends,and it helps.
Like everyone, I like presents, but more importantly, I like your PRESENCE in my life.
It has been a good day.

The bird is beautiful, I am not sure what kind it is, but it was an image I had saved because I love the colors in the combination.

@GardenGerty 2021 has been a difficult year for many.
The bird could be a blue waxbill.

Some things are looking up already. Hubby seems to be getting healthier. Today has been "friends day" all the way around and you have been part of it.

Coming through the other side of a storm, we are usually a lot stronger. And presence is a lot more valuable, than presents! You already knew this is true *Merry Christmas, Heather!*

There are some things that are improving, but also there is a situation that will not ever change. Lots of prayers make things brighter and friends who are so kind. Have a good Christmas.
