My daughter and I love giving presents to people. Yesterday, she went shopping with her dad and wanted to buy me some jewelry, but the consignment store was closed when they went by. I took her back out so that she could pick something out. I entertained myself while she chose something. She even came up and got my card from me to pay for it. Then when we stepped out of the store, she gave it to me. She did not want me to wait for Christmas. Here's a picture of what she gave me
It reminded her of a peacock feather, I think she's right.
People are moving more and more. When I was a youngster, it was a rare instance for a friend to move away. Now it's me that moves away. We've moved a lot, especially when we first got married. It was something like five addresses and three states in the first four years of our marriage. We've slowed down a bit. In the midst of all that moving, we've made some friends along the way. I try to keep an open line in case of times of grief and celebration. One of the best tools I've found for keeping in touch with loved ones far away is Facebook. As much time as I could spend doing other things instead of checking it, it's the best thing I've found. It allows me to communicate with others, without having to call. I know calling is amazing, hearing people's voices, but for introverts, there are no body language clues for us to pick up on that help make our conversations easier. It's also why we prefer to video chat :-) Back to Facebook, some etiquette.
