Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
Happy Solstice
Happy Holidays
Old movies and new candy
Old dreams and reality
Wide-eyed innocence
Aged wisdom
Santa and the Christ child
Penitent on her knees
All of these

and more . . . so much more. The above 33 words are the first that come to mind this holiday season. Thanks, Trifectans for a great year. Here’s to a better 2013!

I show a good face to the world. My countenance is unmarred by stress and worry. Stoic is what my best friend in the world called me. “Barbie,†she said, “I had no clue you felt that way. Your face didn’t show it.â€
Others say my face is telling; that they know exactly what I’m thinking by what goes across my visage. They see joy, sadness, distaste, distrust.
No, they only see what they want to see; a reflection of themselves. They see what they think they see and judge me, my actions, from their viewpoint.
The real me hurts.
