Happy New Year Sans Nom! Sounds like a tasty meal! I love an order of french fries as a treat. I never order dessert but this eve I had something called Molten Nirvana because I decided NYE was a good eve for a treat.
Remember that Facebook is really artificial...people are trying very hard to appear that their lives are perfectly wonderful on there. Everyone has problems and struggles and pain; we just don't always see others' pain. Important not to compare our paths to anyone else's because that's not the path to joy.
I lit a candle for you tonight. Something I do to send positive energy to someone who needs support. Some friends have told me it helped them during tough times...maybe it's just that they know someone was thinking and caring for them...either way it's something I like to do for folks.
