In keeping with the theme of yesterday’s post, spotlighting today’s popular trend of young women’s preference of theatrical make up, I posted my perceptions on Facebook concerning losing my hair from head to brow to lash to toe while my medical team and I worked to save my life, and based in our success, thus far, which challenged my host of inner strengths to up its game, throughout every 24 hour day, here I am in the photo, below (snapped earlier this week), pretty much make up free except for a touch of blush highlighting cheeks snd lips, so happy to be alive that I believe the camera’s lens caught me all aglow as though ‘love actually’ had tapped into the depths of my soul.
And as such, the next portion of this post will offer up the text, I sent to thank my 9 year old grandson, Ray, for his gift of love (as seen adorning my neck in the photo below) which he chose for me, all by himself, followed by my Facebook post conveying my being the fortunate recipient of Ray’s tenderness, after which you’ll find several of the many comments I received from family and friends.
Text from me to Ray—
Hi Ray, I loved FaceTiming with you, last night, when my heart filled with happiness each time my glance fell upon my beautiful bracelet and necklace adorning my wrist and neck. I love and miss your generous heart soooo much, Ray, and once a vaccination runs Covid out of town, what a colossal celebration of love our entire family will enjoy, together!

Having FaceTimed with Ray so that his sensitivity could kvell with pleasure to see me enjoying both of his gifts, I expressed my happiness on Facebook via this post—
What a happy surprise I received in the mail from my nine year old grandson, Ray, who chose this beautiful necklace along with a matching bracelet, both of which I love! Thank you, Ray! Your surprises, both of which I’m wearing, right now, make me very happy as does your heartfelt generosity SO much so that I’m sending this photo so you can see how your gifts of love make me feel all aglow, which is why I plan to wear both, very often, so every time one or the other catches my eye, the depths of our love for each other will ignite my spirit’s smile!
Having posted the photo of the necklace clasped around my neck on Facebook, many friends referenced Ray’s sensitivity and my newly hatched pewter pixie hair-do, inspiring me to offer you a sampling of comments received:
Comments—
Barry to Annie—Ray was very excited to get you a gift and then very particular in finding a necklace to match the bracelet. It took Ray 3 months to find the right one.
Annie to Barry—When it comes to expressing the depths of one’s love with a heart overflowing with generosity and sensitivity, we’ve described Ray’s giving nature to a tee!❤️
Beth to Annie—I think your hair looks awesome. I wish mine would be that color when it goes natural but no luck here. And the pixie look really highlights your happy face.

(Unfortunately, new format of Blogger is stubbornly refusing to reveal photo of necklace adorning my neck, above which we’d see me all aglow, sporting my newly hatched, pewter pixie)
Annie to Beth— Thank you, Beth😊 Every morning, upon awakening, I glance in the mirror in readiness to get my grooming routine underway only to feel startled (think Groundhog Day) so as to exclaim, yet again—Hey! Someone made off with my long dark hair, leaving me with someone else’s pewter pixie, during the night! (At first, I was happy to see bits of fuzz popping out of my scalp, here and there. Then, I rejoiced to see said pixie staring back, at me. Now, I await the passage of time until Covid stops hovering overhead, like an angry dark cloud, so this pewter colored cap, covering my head, is, once again, as long, dark and sleek as had been true (with a little help from my hair stylist) before Chemo stole off with my crowning glory, during the dark of night, last December, while I was hospitalized, fast asleep.
Aha! An attitude of NGU meets with success, yet again!
