So true I do the same thing. One day perhaps we will not live behind our masks although I must say I am getting good at being able to tell when people are smiling. That then makes me smile even if I don’t have any idea what they are talking about. Yea !!!! Have a wonderful week Colleen. I am home from my great adventure and it was so nice to see my daughter and family and my husband got to see his 83 year old dad, who lost his wife this year of close to 6o years of marriage. He seemed to have a good time. It was nice to get home. Sending my love and big hugs to you oh wise one. Love ya Joni xoxoxo
It sounds like your time away was just what you needed Joni. And thank you. I am pretty good at the seeing through the mask(the actual ones, though not the figurative ones!!!).
It was wonderful thank you so much. Being around my daughter and her 8,9,and 10 year old children, my grandchildren was such a joy. They wrap you in their love like a soft blanket right along with all your flaws only seeing your smile and sensing your love. ❤️🤗🥰😘

It would probably be better to concentrate on what is not being said. Perhaps that is where truth lies!

Half the time I can’t hear what people are saying and half the time I can’t believe what I just heard, MBC. Oh, the creeping effect of aging.
