These are my birthday nails...

These are my birthday nails (a few days early) - orange-y for my topaz birthstone, and an owl because I like them. Notice that while my nails might not be the most beautiful things ever, they are not mangled from torture, nor have I ever been waterboarded to within an inch of my life. I do have offspring, but I wasn't forced to have him (and many others) while living in cramped quarters, unable to move away from my own waste, only to have him taken from me and sold to who knows who for someone else's gain. When you look at things like that, your life is probably pretty good. Just try to remember that not everyone else is so lucky. Perhaps you can even help. ❤
