So buying our own presents avoids all that hassle , take a little time to be thankfull for what we have OURSELVES!

What skewed my perspective to so much positive, if today wasn't the best day of your life , try missing one ! I missed more than one being in a coma , it does freaky things to a person to think your waking up from having gone to bed , only to be told in the easiest gentlest way possible your not waking up, a lot has changed in the world and your life and alot of things happened to you since going to bed , you get over the shock of finding out you went to bed a couple of months ago , but working through the emotional stuff changes you as a person .

And poof here I am skewed perspective and All! I'll buy my own gifts happily , you never need a toaster oven and get socks or vice versa , be good to yourselves be your own best friend and advocate even if no one seems to be stepping up to the Plate!
