Enjoy your awesome gift!
I once had a dear friend I would chat with weekly. Unbeknownst to me, she would take notes and doodle while we talked. For Christmas, I received a big box filled with everything I had mentioned liking throughout the year. Small things like my favorite soda or that craft kit I wanted were all in there. I was so surprised and happy, and it reminded me of our wonderful conversations all year. She has since passed, but that remains the best Christmas gift I ever got.
My sister created handmade Pokémon cards featuring my cats. Three things I love: my cats, my sister, and Pokémon. It’s still a very treasured possession, and I was thrilled.

Oh no! That’s such a great gift.
I got a laptop from my son. I had asked him to help me choose one and couldn’t understand why he was hesitant. I thought he was being rude, lol.

“Thought he was being rude”. THAT IS SO AWESOME! Did you tell him that?
I got a kitten! My boyfriend’s sister had a litter in her backyard, and since no one wanted the black one, we took him in. I can’t imagine being without him now.

You did great! I often wonder why people overlook black cats (or dogs). Underneath that black coat are pets full of personality, good or quirky, but they’re all lovable!

He’s a little firecracker, that’s for sure, lol.

We adopted a black kitten too since they are often left behind.
I’ve heard it’s because they don’t photograph well.

Sometimes I question people’s sanity! Not you, of course.
But why judge a pet by fur color? I had a cat that wouldn’t win any beauty contests, but she was my cat and that’s what made her special.

I’ve heard black cats referred to as “void cats” or “house panthers.”

We rescued the sweetest black Beagle mix. Since I have serious vision issues, I’ve tripped over her many times. Sometimes I simply can’t see her. Our next rescue will be a lighter-colored dog.
I work three hours a week in a small business, doing cleaning, dishes, washing windows, gardening, etc.
Generally, I do what makes the space more appealing for staff and customers, and sometimes I help in the office if asked.
The place is five minutes from where I keep my horses, and I often use the facilities for personal stuff too, especially if it’s raining. I take my tack to the staff room to clean saddles and bridles!
My boss gave me an envelope with a card, a bit of cash, and the words, ‘I appreciate everything you do, it all adds up.’
I almost cried during the Christmas morning tea party I arranged for everyone.
The words on the card!
It’s not the money that counts; it’s the small things I do here and there that make it all shine.
I love that this small business operates on give and take, and that I get to be part of it.
@Flynt
That’s awesome!
